Ip Man 2

I "saw" this film while on my way to Siem Reap. I'm putting emphasis on the word 'saw' because that is all that I did, I never fully understood the story because there were no English subtitles. At first, I thought that it would be pointless to watch a film where I don't understand the dialogues but as I had nothing else to do inside the bus and I'm naturally attracted to the TV screen, I can't help but glance at it from time to time. And soon enough, my attention was focused solely on the film. The story was quite moving based from what I can tell from the scenes and the fight scenes are great especially the one where they were fighting on top of a round table. :P
The film was a good distraction from the monotony of the long bus ride. The weird thing is that I totally forgot about this film until yesterday when I saw a commercial for a new cable channel and they were showing clips of various Chinese films which luckily included this film. I immediately searched the net to find out what this film is which is actually quite challenging since I don't know the title, the cast, and the year it was released. Nada.
After an hour of web surfing, I finally found the details. So my next task is to find out where I can get copies. Haha. :P


Edit:
Funny thing, I saw a poster of this film in Bulacan yesterday and after that I was able to watch the first half (with subtitles yeah!) on a bus on the way home. Talk about serendipity. Haha.
