In 2008, "Iron Man" on the other side of the earth opened up the magnificent Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the same year, "Ip Man" starring Donnie Yen also opened a new era of Chinese kung fu movies! Now 10 years have passed, although the Ip Man series is not as huge as the Marvel movies! However, today Ip Man Universe also ushered in his rumored film: "Zhang Tianzhi"
Zhang Tianzhi, as Ip Man's fellow apprentice and brother, at the end of "Ip Man 3" in 2015, a duel between Wing Chun VS Wing Chun, let everyone remember this character who was born in poverty and is both righteous and evil! This time, Zhang Jin, a national martial arts athlete who played Zhang Tianzhi, took the lead! Tell the personal story of Zhang Tianzhi after that duel!
In a closed-door duel, Zhang Tianzhi defeated Ip Man with one move. From then on, Zhang Tianzhi decided not to use Wing Chun anymore and quit the kung fu circle! Opened a grocery store with my son for a living! However, an accident got him involved in a dispute with the underworld master played by Zheng Jiaying!
The commissary was set on fire, and Zhang Tianzhi and his son almost died in the fire, thanks to the shelter of the bar street owner.
Although Zhang Tianzhi no longer uses Wing Chun, but with decades of hard work, his revenge still has to be avenged. You burn my house, and I burn your smokehouse!
In the movie, Michelle Yeoh's special role in the underworld eldest sister, the melee with Zhang Tianzhi is the first climax of the movie! Although I feel that the Chinese drama in the film is not very well polished, there is really nothing to say about the part of the martial arts! It is indeed a movie directed by Yuan Heping! This wave of climax ended with Michelle Yeoh cutting off her brother's hand with one knife! Feel this aura!
In particular, Zhang Tianzhi faced Yuan Hua in the opening scene of the movie, and he was really handsome when he hid bullets within seven steps!
And the mastermind behind the movie, the hidden leader of the drug cartel, is played by Dave Batista who plays Drax the Destroyer of "Guardians of the Galaxy"! This big guy used to be a professional wrestler! And in 2008, he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship! In the last battle, Zhang Tianzhi and the Destroyer just faced each other! Faced with a behemoth a few laps older than himself, Zhang Tianzhi was of course completely abused! Until he got out of the shadow of losing to Ye Wen! Bring out his Wing Chun again! When he called out his name: Wing Chun Zhang Tianzhi! Really excited!
In the end, the eldest sister, Michelle Yeoh, and her younger brother, Zheng Jiaying, were about to leave Hong Kong, but she did one last thing before leaving. She found Yuan Hua and asked him to hire a murderer to kill someone! And that person is the hidden leader of that drug cartel! As the man in black shot an ice arrow, it pierced the back of the head, and finally the boss died on the spot! And the smile between Zhang Tianzhi and the man in black is really subtle! And this man in black is played by Muay Thai actor Tony Jia!
The plot of "Ip Man Gaiden Zhang Tianzhi" is actually quite simple. Personally, although I don't feel that it can reach the height of "Ip Man 3", but watching kung fu movies, isn't it just fun to watch? For kung fu, for Wing Chun, for so many martial arts stars, why are they worth the ticket price! And then, "Ip Man 4" will be released soon! I hope that Wing Chun Zhang Tianzhi will be able to appear again!
