Donnie Yen returns in this sequel to the 2008 hit about Master Ip and his ongoing efforts to bring a new style of kung fu fighting, called Wing Chun, to the masses in British- occupied Hong Kong. This time, along with fighting the heads of the competing martial arts academies, Ip is forced to go toe-to-toe with an arrogant white boxer called Twister (Darren Shahlavi) to prove his style of fighting can stand up to western fisticuffs. The action is impressive, and the addition of Sammo Hung to to the cast as one of the rival kung fu masters adds a lot to the story. Resist the temptation to watch this one in its dubbed version, though. Yen’s performance as Ip is too impressive to watch through the filter of bad dubbing.
