Fact: The actor who played as Master Zhang, Fung Hak On, died from cancer. Big respect to the underrated martial artist for entertaining us while facing a difficult condition 🙏
Absolutely love when he tells the other masters “Thanks for going easy on me” as to not make them look bad in front of their respective students and peers.
@@bobbats0517 No, it's a Chinese courtesy thing. Same with making decisions. If in a group somebody makes a bad decision, everyone will claim it was their fault, and not the person who actually got the idea. Saving one's face is very important.
I can't be the only one who have noticed that Master Zhang is the most respectful to Ip man. He doesn't seem to hold something against him and he appreciate Ip man for giving him mercy, while Ip man is also respectful to him.
I totally agree the thing is that’s how it is in Brazilian jujitsu that’s how it is in every single style that I’ve ever been in. They just act like the same thing it’s pretty much the same
This is my fave scene in the movie, because it is so beautifully choreography like a game of chess and a dance, like rhythmic poetry vs bursts of gunfire-quick verbal rap. There is a deeper meaning of the styles that correlates to the masters temperaments and their "perception" of Wing Chun. So, that is very insightful of you to be able to spot Master Zhuang's attitude, which is more humble and gentle, because BaGuaZhang's philosophy is about that, and gathering forces for defense and attack -- notice how he would rally the other masters to go first, and also ask if Master "dick" Luo is okay! (master Luo seriously disliked Ip Man, so it is natural Master Zhang would tell Master Luo to go head on, because that is how you neutralize 2 opposing forces, and this table-battle was stirred up by Master Luo in the first place) So, yes, it has to do with the deeper meaning in the philosophy of the styles that each of the masters practice, And Master Zhang was kinda pressured into the fight, while he preferred to just co-exist. If anything, his heart really isn't in the fight but is forced to do so, because of the fear of "losing face". As for Master Hung's Hung Gah Fists (incorporating Tiger Claw) are aggressive, forms preference is attack and alot of external force used aim is to capture and dominate -- and we can see Master Hung's Alpha Male attitude. Master Zhang is a Bagua Palm master -- so it is about Internal energy and Balance with odd-angled attacks, that Ip Man had a hard time blocking, notice how Ip Man keeps tilting from side to side to receive and block the Bagua attacks because Wing Chun attacks and blocks are always linear as the form is called "shouzhong" - guarding the center -- beautiful to watch -- But the truth is that the movie is trying to showcase WingChun, if not Philosophical/Internal Energy duel-wise Taichi&Bagua are the 2 penultimate forms, but they aren't necessarily overtly aggressive like Xing Yi or Hung Gah. The philosophy of Bagua is like TaiChi is more aligned with the "be like water", and Wing Chun's thoughtful style is originated by a Chinese Buddhist Nun, and taught to her female disciple named "Wing Chun" -- the style favours "unassumed"ness, low-key but effective strikes, using your attacker's energy to enhance your own when you can ( mostly center of gravity shifts -- see how ip man always ground the 2 masters), it does not have beautiful flourishes and tracery of lines of forces but it is direct short bursts -- which is why it is spectacular when choreographed with the likes of Hung Gar and Xingyi. Bagua would be a play of gathering chi in the air (gaining momentum before strike vs muscular explosive force) and can be very devastating, like the Yin-Yang symbol, it has 2 sides, Yin and Yang of both palms and fists, and it seems Master Zhang here is more of the Yin palms -- you can the actor knows his forms because of his foot work, the cross legged spins to generate momentum for his palm-edge strikes, the versatility in his vertical movement and even his krav-magra style ensnarement before Ip Man threw him down and voila-- LOCK MASTER ZHUANG'S LEGS BECAUSE IP MAN CAN TELL HOW THE FORCE FROM HIS FOOTWORK CAN GENERATE FORCES FOR HIS PALM ATTACKS TOWARDS HIM-- and delivered the punches, and that ended the fight, so, it shows Ip Man is able to attack in a strategic and very astute and wise manner. . But at the end of it all, it is about strategy, strength and speed, seasoned fighting experience, talent and brutality of the Fighter, not the School of Martial Arts -- but One of the wasted opportunity here is the White Crane candidate did not get to fight, i'd like to see the Shaolin 5 elemental form of White Crane style which is "purely defensive" goes against the female-oriented style of WingChun. Please watch it again; i believe you can spot their moves and countermoves better now and spot the reasoning of their methods! Enjoy!
@@kw271 whoa.... You seem to know quite a lot about that. It's one of my favorite movies, but I never went to the deeper part of the scenes. Interesting, thanks for sharing
Donnie Yen reminds me of the young man who performed brain surgery on my mother. Calm, a man of few words. Polite but focused and incharge of the moment. He was a young man who was the head of faculty of neural surgery at a university and he took on my mother's rare case to instruct young students in the medical field. He saved my mother's life 30 years ago and she enjoys life today.
This is an awful film and a poor representation of his abilities. Kudos for his appearance here given his age - but the guy is a legend and the fact normies only know him for this is depressing. Check out his work from the mid 70-'s through to 1990.
Not only that, but I believe he said that so he wouldn't lose face (in other words his reputation). That why he said it again to Master Zhang when it was his turn.
We begin to see blurred at 1/15th of a second. Film is usually 24 frames per second, we begin to have the effect of continuous motion at 15 frames per second. The air is too dense in deed. :-)
My favorite scene is right after Ip Man leaves. Hung sits down and asks for medicine and stares at where Ip Man used to be with a look of disbelief while he appears to be suffering from a minor bout of asthma. Ip is probably one of the only people in a long time that gave him that much of a challenge. It reminds me of the scene from Rocky IV, where Drago says "He's not human. He is like a piece of iron." except his acting was so good, he didn't need words.
I love how the way Ip Man approaches the table matches his character. He jumps to a waist height table so effortlessly and so softly that it barely moves the table despite the actual amount of force required to jump that high normally. Despite it being the least flashy of the methods to get onto the the tabletop, I argue it was the most impressive and really shows the level and character that Donnie Yen was portraying. He didn't need to jump on chair legs and fly through the air, he just jumped up with a combination of power and grace; it perfectly fits the character.
It also fits the philosophy of Wing Chun: No flashy moves, no wasted energy, just those most direct and efficient way to your goal. Donnie has great kicks of course, but he dials it down to show real Wing Chun moves, and yet it still looks really impressive.
You mean aesthetically pleasing fit? Many martial artist don't look like the stereotypical bodybuilder but can still kick ass and be super fit Like sumo wrestlers for instance, they look fat, but under that muscle is pure big muscle achived through a special training and diet And i remember this muay thai instructor, his name was trainer gae or something. He looks fat, but damn he's got style
@@deepx253 Master Hung was only defeated because he's no longer physically fit and already past his prime. If he fought that cocky boxer in his peak form, it's 60-40 or even 80-20 chance of winning.
Fact: The table was one of the most valuable props in Hong Kong film industry. In 2018, it died of cancer. Mad respect to its contribution to the industry!
@@iwishiwasthomasshelbyI tried to look for CGI articles explaining this scene but haven't found anything indicating the film had CGI at all. The most we can assume from this scene at a glance is the use of wire tricks. I found this on Wikipedia, which earned him respect from me. "The film's martial arts sequences were choreographed by Sammo Hung, who also worked on the choreography for the first film. Prior to principal photography, Hung had undergone a major cardiac surgery. When he returned to the set, his dramatic scenes in the film were filmed first, with his fight sequences being filmed last. Hung performed his own stunts in the film, which led to him receiving several injuries during filming."
@@iwishiwasthomasshelby not every movie using cgi today. Especially not from Donnie Yen. This is no Hollywood movie. 😉 wires? Yes. But no cgi. Just good Choreographie. Both men know what they are doing. That's why they were able to do this scene so perfect. You should inform yourself about wing tsun.
@@kamui600 it doesn’t matter if Donnie is using it. He has to coordinate the fights with his counterpart. For example, you mean you think he actually fought Mike Tyson straight up? They choreographed it, because in a real life, him taking a solid blow to the head by Mike would have been done. Also, two thing like Mike shattered all that glass bare fist? He’ll that was Agci.
Yes must be some strong wires lifting him up with all the wire work going on in this clip which personally i hate, don’t need it MA movies can be just as good without it, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan showed this.
@@garypayne4284 Most of Bruce Lee & Jacki Chan's movies DO have wire work. Any time a jump takes more than ~0.1 seconds, they're using wires or playing with the frame rate. IMO it's a staple for Hong Kong movies, so much so that it's as much a part of the trope as the bad dubbing.
This video, as well as the film, should never be deleted from people's memories. Every scene was so well executed that it blew me away when I saw it for the first time.
Very much agreed. I haven't actually seen this movie but I still watch this clip every couple of months as a reminder of what martial arts action scenes can be.
@@nova12332 perhaps he doesn't have the means to,or can't find it,why'd you assume he has that movie at the ready,if he did he would have watched it by now
In Wing Chun "please" translates to "show me your best" the reason why they did that that way is because those are all Masters and they didn't know Ip yet... figured out that Master laws style of Kung-Fu is "monkey"
@@tonymac623 i never thought of it that way, though i feel like it's pretty impossible to give a direct translation to this phrase since it really doesn't exist in (most) other cultures, just like "bless you" in English or "itadakimasu" in Japanese
Master of Wing Chun: Donnie Yen Master of Tai Chi: Jet Li & Hong/Samo Master of Drunken Fu: Jackie Chan Master of Wushu: Max Zhang Master of Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee Master of Muay Thai: Tony Jaa Master of Silat: Iko Uwais & Yayan Each masters possesses their unique kind and type of martial arts they were proficient in.
Its call Baguazhang. I have actually sparred with someone who learn it before. The concept of fighting is quite interesting and it can do some serious damage.
@@thisisjustanillusion6486 Yeah. a lot of useless flashy movement, while actually trying to avoid hitting the opponent even though they are in range. The fight looks like partner training during kung fu class
@@DavidHowell01 the first sword fight from fearless and the fight between jet li and Donnie yen in Hero are better fights. Jet li vs Jackie Chan in forbidden kingdom is on par.
3:46 detail I like, but the guy that just lost is actually warning is friend that Ip Man is very strong. You can immediately see Master Zhang's demeanor change after hearing that.
Yes, it was a lovely little exchange that highlighted the intricacies and nuances of human language. The first time Master Luo says it, he's basically doing it to save face after getting his ass absolutely handed to him. The second time, it's an between-the-lines warning to his friend that Ip Man is REALLY good and that Master Cheng/Zhang needs to be careful. Two identical sentences that carry completely different meanings. It's a bit like the "Just like in Havana" line from Captain Marvel, which changes meaning and impact like 3 times throughout the film.
@@itachi-hf3kv I doubt that, a lot of viewers might write it off as an attempt at comedy, since Master Zhang's expression change is subtle enough to be missed if you're not looking for it
@@adlirez after seeing plenty of my friends miss on similar level of details all the time, I've learned to never expect the majority of viewers to catch something just because I would catch that :/
I love this clip. I watch it over and over. To me it's the most epic depiction of these formal contests. Watching Sammo and Donnie in this fight choreography is simply beautiful to see.
It's 2022 and this fight scene still gives me goosebumps ever since I saw it for the first time back in 2010, BEST FIGHT SCENE EVER!!! Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung were incredible! 😭💖💖✨✨✨
Just a little bit of random trivia: the actor who played Master Zhang, named Fung Hak-on, also played one of the Musician Assassins in Kung Fu Hustle. Another bit of trivia, though somewhat tragic: Mr. Fung is now deceased from complications due to esophageal cancer, rest in peace sir.
Such a great scene. Had some serious parts and some funny parts. The music made the scene even better. Sammo Hung and Donnie Yen are legends. Remember, the table is very slippery! 🤣🤣🤣
the first opponent uses the monkey style kungfu, the 2nd probably taichi and last one probably uses dragon style kungfu. i might be wrong. my knowledge is only base on watching kungfu movies from 80s n 90s
And to think, if someone had just spread a little chalk on the table Master Luo would've been literally the only opponent to ever beat Ip Man in any of the films.
@@davidchen574 its character development for ip man, otherwise ip man wouldnt bother to fight twister. But hung really wants to protect the pride of those racism against chinese, so its understandable
Ip Man is one of my absolute favourite films, including 2 and 3 story aside it’s fight scenes are awesome and intricate, Donnie Yen killed it as Ip man ❤
one of the big things in this film is the emphasis on manners, etiquette and respect between those fighting the other. there is grace and dignity - see how ip man does not actually injure the men and stop short, showing just enough to let them know what he can do. he says 'thank you for going easy on me'. this brings stark contrast to the english boxers rudeness, brutality and lack of respect. when he kills the master in the fight it is the biggest insult- this would not have happened between two martial artists.
A minor correction: it's not "he is not supposed to touch the ground", even though the word "ground" is technically there. The sentence roughly means "seems like an average Joe".
What I think still amazes me about this fight is the fact that even to this day, Master Hong is the only true equal to Ip Man we've ever seen. It was only ever due to his age and illness that he lost to Twister, otherwise he might have dealt with him even better than Ip Man did... And ultimately, that's what makes Ip Man's victory against Twister all the sweeter; He didn't prove himself 'better' than Master Hong. He simply proved himself to be his successor, the one to carry forth the flaming torch of his spirit and passion for martial arts.
@@digitalcamaro9708 All of them except Master Luo. A real Kung Fu specialist wouldn't go into battle the way he did. Master Luo is a comedic relief character with numerous running gags. His fighting style is extremely exaggerated and needlessly risky, focussing more on feints and fancy movements rather than true effectiveness.
@@johnsuhkim5609 u gotta understand the philosophy part of the art... because this art form teaches you to be confident within your own right and with that confidence you'll be able to handle yourself in a threatening situation. And if your backed up against the wall at a disadvantage then go for the balls, eyes or any pressure points that you know of. Pretty much just anywhere that would be most damaging internally, but having said that you must be able to react to any situation.
@@sheepisfortheweak6164 I really meant that these people are actual martial artists in real life, or at least most of them are, and that matters in an actual fight.
@@johnsuhkim5609 How many pro fighters are you gonna just run into in your life time? Let alone actually have a reason to fight them. The point of these rather its Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Boxing, etc. are to make you more capable in a life-threatening situation.
Sammo Hung is still kicking so much ass even as old as he is. He's honestly such an underrated martial artist and choreographer, definitely on par with Jackie and Donnie. just look at 7:33, some literal Dragon Ball Z shit
Oh for sure. He been hanging out with Jackie and all since his young and prime days. Best movie to watch him in action with Jackie (& one more guy, forgot his name) is Wheels on Meals 🔥 legit movie bro
Underated? Everybody knows him in China and HongKong. If you compare him with Jackie then thats a whole nother thing entirely since Jackie is a Legend, you cant compare any Chinese ActionStar with him. Donnie got close but Jackie and Bruce put it on the map.
why u say underated??? Any movie u or me or anyone watch with eyes popping out.. it has Sammo Hang behind the scene .. Jackie, Donnie, Yeun Biao.. , Scot Adkins... everyone bows to him 🙏👍
Ikr, it makes me think he's one of the more careful and expert masters. Love how he immediately took that coiled stance since he was at the edge of the table, probably a defensive stance to not get kicked or punched off the table.
Sammo Hung and Donnie Yen are really my favourite martial arts, sinced 80's when i firstly watch their kungfu movie...😍😍, the others 2 are Jet Lee and Jackie Chan..all of them are great and skillfull in their style...thank for entertained us..😍😍
Yes, those rapid fire punches are a signature, but we rarely see them actually having much impact on the opponent. If they are powerful enough, they don't just block the opponent's ability to strike and freeze him but also do some real damage if they connect.
Seeing Sammo Hung takes me back to being a kid when my friends and I would spend Saturday afternoons at the movies watching whatever martial arts movie was out at the time
I really love this very small detail at 6:09 You can distinctly hear the sound of a tiger as the master takes his stance. It's subtle, but really good.
I like better Ip Man's 'Thank you for going easy on me', when he defeats the guy. This is a true element of Chinese culture, about respect and 'saving face'. He defeated the guy, but then stated it was because the guy 'went easy on him', this 'saved his face', or in other words, saved his honour. They do the same thing in other areas of life. For example when a board in company has to make a decision, everyone agree, and when the decision turns out to be wrong, everyone blame themselves, so there are no scapegoats.
@@piotrmalewski8178 I find saying "thank you for going easy on me" incredibly patronizing, at least when it is so damn obvious that this wasn't what happened. Not only does he insult the other persons intelligence by uttering such an obvious lie, but he also talks down to him as if he is a child that cannot accept defeat and needs to have his ego placated with such nonsense.
@@alaron5698 That's your interpretation, but obviously that's not what would have happened among them. Note he says the same thing in the beginning to all the masters, but there's nothing rude or provocative in his behaviour. He bows his head and makes a sign of respect. In Chinese culture people are deeply apologetic, and try to save the other person's face in any way possible, even if that sounds nonsensical. Thus in this declaration Ip Man didn't win because he was better, but because the master let him win. There's a lot things like that. For example if you get invited to see someone in their house, and the host's Canary (bird) shits on your shirt, the host will obviously apologise you, but a Chinese person will respond something like; 'I'm happy that your Canary has honoured me.' It's sounds absurd to us, but it's a way of 'saving face', and showing appreciation that another person actually wanted to see us at all. If you think about, in the end the bird wouldn't have shit on your shirt if you weren't invited, so in the end it is an honour anyway. There's a lot of things in Chinese culture that for Westerners seem rude or even absurd, but actually signify politeness. And it's not like that only when we discuss differences between very distant countries. Let's take Europe for example. For example British people see Polish as rude, and for Polish person, British' behaviour can be provocative and disrespectful. When I went to the UK, they were things that surprised me, and up to this day I get angry about things although I know people don't mean anything wrong, but it's not that easy to get used to something when your whole life it would be a sign of disrespect or even a provocation.
@@piotrmalewski8178 For me, saying "thank you for going easy on me" is just on another level of disingenousness to saying "I'm happy your bird honored me". The bird is obviously an accident, and it makes perfect sense to make as little out of it as possible, especially if it can be done in a humorous way. Thanking the person that defeated you in the way Ip Man does on the other hand, seems SO disingenuous that it actually becomes insulting, and I'm not convinced that the Chinese would really take that as a good thing, as surely they also have a concept of being patronized. But I can't speak with confidence in this.
The student that notifies master Hung about Ip Man's arrival is Dennis To, the one to play young Ip Man years later in several Ip Man movies. I can't believe I didn't notice him up until now.
I remember thinking Master Hong was a asshole but omg now that Im older he is one of my Favorites Now My small brain can finally Understand whats going on and everything lol
Every culture teaches us to be respectful to weak, powerful, elder, friends and even enemies. Something that we have forgotten not only for enemies but also for our loved ones.
Master Cheng was using the Baguazhang (translated as "eight trigram palm") style. The style is a "soft" style that, like Wing Chun, focuses more on reacting to opponent's actions and using momentum and circular strokes for counters and throws. The actor playing Master Cheng was doing those moves a lot slower than a real exponent would have done them (likely so we, the audience, can see it better), but generally those sorts of moves are done as calculated baits to lure the opponent into attacking so that you can respond with throws and strikes coming in from odd angles.
Ip Man 1 and Ip Man 2 started with the right action director, Sammo Hung. The hand fighting choreography in these 2 movies no one can do it better than Sammo Hung. is a good foundation, and I don't think there is anyone can execute/perform it better than Donnie Yen.
I’ve watched this fight scenes so many times I have lost count. But I still loved it - a masterpiece! The filmmaker really set the scene of Hong Kong from that era with those wooden furnitures; the ceiling fans and the clothings.

My favorite scene is right after Ip Man leaves. Hung sits down and asks for medicine and stares at where Ip Man used to be with a look of disbelief while he appears to be suffering from a minor bout of asthma. Ip is probably one of the only people in a long time that gave him that much of a challenge. It reminds me of the scene from Rocky IV, where Drago says "He's not human. He is like a piece of iron." except his acting was so good, he didn't need words.
I love how the way Ip Man approaches the table matches his character. He jumps to a waist height table so effortlessly and so softly that it barely moves the table despite the actual amount of force required to jump that high normally.
Despite it being the least flashy of the methods to get onto the the tabletop, I argue it was the most impressive and really shows the level and character that Donnie Yen was portraying. He didn't need to jump on chair legs and fly through the air, he just jumped up with a combination of power and grace; it perfectly fits the character.
Idk bout most impressive lmao the last dude did some superhuman level stuff but it was for sure cool
Definitely not the most impressive
It also fits the philosophy of Wing Chun: No flashy moves, no wasted energy, just those most direct and efficient way to your goal. Donnie has great kicks of course, but he dials it down to show real Wing Chun moves, and yet it still looks really impressive.
Yes, the way he jumps on the table shows how good he is, it requires huge force on the face of the table to maintain the table steady
Yup
I love Samo, his whole career is proof that you don't need to have a super-fit body to be a great martial artist, stuntman, and action star
Like Tyson Fury. LOL
He is super-fit.
I would genuinely argue his larger physique gave him a lower, more stable center of gravity naturally.
You mean aesthetically pleasing fit?
Many martial artist don't look like the stereotypical bodybuilder but can still kick ass and be super fit
Like sumo wrestlers for instance, they look fat, but under that muscle is pure big muscle achived through a special training and diet
And i remember this muay thai instructor, his name was trainer gae or something. He looks fat, but damn he's got style
No but it certainly does help.

It's a half table now

7:34 I love how Ip man's face has a relaxed/neutral expression but Master Hong's face looked like he was gonna blow a gasket!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed !!
Yeah but at the same time Master Hong was much older. Imagine Hong in his prime I think he would’ve overpowered IP man had they been the same age.
Master Hong also had asthma or some other breathing problem.
They are both throwing punches super fast haha - I would be winded also
Because ip man gained the momentum to go offensive... Both are good 👍
Master Hung is one of the few people IP Man never actually defeated. Along with Tyson
But he defeated the one who defeated the master hung
@@deepx253 okay? He still didn't defeat Hung
@@deepx253 Master Hung was only defeated because he's no longer physically fit and already past his prime. If he fought that cocky boxer in his peak form, it's 60-40 or even 80-20 chance of winning.
Because of the respect he has for other real masters. Stop being a dumbass 😂

It’s cgi bruh. You probably think thanos really exists.
@@iwishiwasthomasshelbyI tried to look for CGI articles explaining this scene but haven't found anything indicating the film had CGI at all. The most we can assume from this scene at a glance is the use of wire tricks. I found this on Wikipedia, which earned him respect from me.
"The film's martial arts sequences were choreographed by Sammo Hung, who also worked on the choreography for the first film. Prior to principal photography, Hung had undergone a major cardiac surgery. When he returned to the set, his dramatic scenes in the film were filmed first, with his fight sequences being filmed last. Hung performed his own stunts in the film, which led to him receiving several injuries during filming."
@@iwishiwasthomasshelby not every movie using cgi today. Especially not from Donnie Yen. This is no Hollywood movie. 😉 wires? Yes. But no cgi. Just good Choreographie. Both men know what they are doing. That's why they were able to do this scene so perfect. You should inform yourself about wing tsun.
@@kamui600 it doesn’t matter if Donnie is using it. He has to coordinate the fights with his counterpart. For example, you mean you think he actually fought Mike Tyson straight up? They choreographed it, because in a real life, him taking a solid blow to the head by Mike would have been done. Also, two thing like Mike shattered all that glass bare fist? He’ll that was Agci.
Sammo really broke that “fat guys can’t be elegant” stereotype dude took it to the next level in the 80-90s
Agree, one of my favorites martial artist
Who said a fat guy can't be a martial artist, because I'm actually a fat too 😂
Yes must be some strong wires lifting him up with all the wire work going on in this clip which personally i hate, don’t need it MA movies can be just as good without it, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan showed this.
Wheels on meals, written and directed by Sammo Hung, one of my favourite martial arts films besides 36th Chamber and No Retreat no Surrender.
@@garypayne4284 Most of Bruce Lee & Jacki Chan's movies DO have wire work. Any time a jump takes more than ~0.1 seconds, they're using wires or playing with the frame rate.
IMO it's a staple for Hong Kong movies, so much so that it's as much a part of the trope as the bad dubbing.

Right? The whole time I was like, why is your fighting style "show 'em your back"?
Yeah, if Ip was really trying to hurt him, the instant he turned his back would be his last.
i think he mirrors the opponent's stance
My man hung does a 30 sec preview ass whooping then says “please” 😂
about a preview of ass whopping 😂😂😂😂
In Wing Chun "please" translates to "show me your best" the reason why they did that that way is because those are all Masters and they didn't know Ip yet...
figured out that Master laws style of Kung-Fu is "monkey"
@@tonymac623 i never thought of it that way, though i feel like it's pretty impossible to give a direct translation to this phrase since it really doesn't exist in (most) other cultures, just like "bless you" in English or "itadakimasu" in Japanese

3:46 detail I like, but the guy that just lost is actually warning is friend that Ip Man is very strong. You can immediately see Master Zhang's demeanor change after hearing that.
Yes, it was a lovely little exchange that highlighted the intricacies and nuances of human language. The first time Master Luo says it, he's basically doing it to save face after getting his ass absolutely handed to him. The second time, it's an between-the-lines warning to his friend that Ip Man is REALLY good and that Master Cheng/Zhang needs to be careful. Two identical sentences that carry completely different meanings. It's a bit like the "Just like in Havana" line from Captain Marvel, which changes meaning and impact like 3 times throughout the film.

one of the big things in this film is the emphasis on manners, etiquette and respect between those fighting the other. there is grace and dignity - see how ip man does not actually injure the men and stop short, showing just enough to let them know what he can do. he says 'thank you for going easy on me'. this brings stark contrast to the english boxers rudeness, brutality and lack of respect. when he kills the master in the fight it is the biggest insult- this would not have happened between two martial artists.

What I think still amazes me about this fight is the fact that even to this day, Master Hong is the only true equal to Ip Man we've ever seen. It was only ever due to his age and illness that he lost to Twister, otherwise he might have dealt with him even better than Ip Man did... And ultimately, that's what makes Ip Man's victory against Twister all the sweeter; He didn't prove himself 'better' than Master Hong. He simply proved himself to be his successor, the one to carry forth the flaming torch of his spirit and passion for martial arts.
Thank you! I say this all the time, so far Hong (and I guess Mike Tyson) are his only real equals

Yes, those rapid fire punches are a signature, but we rarely see them actually having much impact on the opponent. If they are powerful enough, they don't just block the opponent's ability to strike and freeze him but also do some real damage if they connect.

Him telling zwang "the table is really slippery" was just code for, "don't hold back, he is really good"
I like better Ip Man's 'Thank you for going easy on me', when he defeats the guy. This is a true element of Chinese culture, about respect and 'saving face'. He defeated the guy, but then stated it was because the guy 'went easy on him', this 'saved his face', or in other words, saved his honour. They do the same thing in other areas of life. For example when a board in company has to make a decision, everyone agree, and when the decision turns out to be wrong, everyone blame themselves, so there are no scapegoats.
are you sure?
@@piotrmalewski8178 I find saying "thank you for going easy on me" incredibly patronizing, at least when it is so damn obvious that this wasn't what happened. Not only does he insult the other persons intelligence by uttering such an obvious lie, but he also talks down to him as if he is a child that cannot accept defeat and needs to have his ego placated with such nonsense.
@@alaron5698 That's your interpretation, but obviously that's not what would have happened among them. Note he says the same thing in the beginning to all the masters, but there's nothing rude or provocative in his behaviour. He bows his head and makes a sign of respect. In Chinese culture people are deeply apologetic, and try to save the other person's face in any way possible, even if that sounds nonsensical. Thus in this declaration Ip Man didn't win because he was better, but because the master let him win.
There's a lot things like that.
For example if you get invited to see someone in their house, and the host's Canary (bird) shits on your shirt, the host will obviously apologise you, but a Chinese person will respond something like; 'I'm happy that your Canary has honoured me.' It's sounds absurd to us, but it's a way of 'saving face', and showing appreciation that another person actually wanted to see us at all. If you think about, in the end the bird wouldn't have shit on your shirt if you weren't invited, so in the end it is an honour anyway. There's a lot of things in Chinese culture that for Westerners seem rude or even absurd, but actually signify politeness.
And it's not like that only when we discuss differences between very distant countries. Let's take Europe for example. For example British people see Polish as rude, and for Polish person, British' behaviour can be provocative and disrespectful. When I went to the UK, they were things that surprised me, and up to this day I get angry about things although I know people don't mean anything wrong, but it's not that easy to get used to something when your whole life it would be a sign of disrespect or even a provocation.
@@piotrmalewski8178 For me, saying "thank you for going easy on me" is just on another level of disingenousness to saying "I'm happy your bird honored me". The bird is obviously an accident, and it makes perfect sense to make as little out of it as possible, especially if it can be done in a humorous way. Thanking the person that defeated you in the way Ip Man does on the other hand, seems SO disingenuous that it actually becomes insulting, and I'm not convinced that the Chinese would really take that as a good thing, as surely they also have a concept of being patronized. But I can't speak with confidence in this.

Donnie is quite superb in these movies. He really dominates the action. Cleverly written and well choreographed action.
Gotta love that "Turn your back on your enemy and trust he's honorable" stance switch the second guy had.
Master Cheng was using the Baguazhang (translated as "eight trigram palm") style. The style is a "soft" style that, like Wing Chun, focuses more on reacting to opponent's actions and using momentum and circular strokes for counters and throws. The actor playing Master Cheng was doing those moves a lot slower than a real exponent would have done them (likely so we, the audience, can see it better), but generally those sorts of moves are done as calculated baits to lure the opponent into attacking so that you can respond with throws and strikes coming in from odd angles.
Ip Man 1 and Ip Man 2 started with the right action director, Sammo Hung. The hand fighting choreography in these 2 movies no one can do it better than Sammo Hung. is a good foundation, and I don't think there is anyone can execute/perform it better than Donnie Yen.
Sammo is a legend working with Bruce Lee,Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen
I’ve watched this fight scenes so many times I have lost count. But I still loved it - a masterpiece!
The filmmaker really set the scene of Hong Kong from that era with those wooden furnitures; the ceiling fans and the clothings.
