I don't know what most people think of the action style of martial arts films. I personally prefer the twists and turns and wide opening and closing in Jet Li's martial arts films. The action pattern is more open and imposing. I believe that Wing Chun may have the strongest actual combat ability, but as a close-fitting bunt martial arts, it is indeed too cramped and not so good-looking. Of course, on the other hand, it may be Donnie Yen's martial arts conditions or Sammo Hung's action instruction level that make the martial arts less exciting.
But one thing is always commendable. After the decline of the local market of Hong Kong films, after the development of the mainland market in recent years, the sequel model has finally reappeared. On the one hand, this shows the improvement or recovery of the profitability of Chinese-language films, and on the other hand, it is also a reflection of the mature operation of the re-integrated Chinese-language film market. As a medium investment film, Ip Man 2 has almost definitely broken 200 million at the box office, which is very encouraging.
It's just that at this time, it is easy to miss the martial arts films of the golden age of Hong Kong movies in the first half of the 1990s, and Fang Shiyu who fought bloody Honghua Lane.
