Viewing Notes

The well-worn story of the evil British colonizers in league with Chinese criminals, but still a fun watch for the martial arts. This is a tangential sequel to IP MAN 3, featuring Jin Zhang (aka Max Zhang) reprising his role as former grandmaster Cheung Tin-chi. Great to see Michelle Yeoh!

I LOVE the set design on this too. Almost everything takes place on sound stages and it’s very reminiscent of classic backlot Hollywood films. It really reminded me of WEST SIDE STORY honestly. I loved Bar Street with all it’s great neon signage.

This feels set up for a sequel before it’s even done so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s another already in the works. Hopefully it features more Tony Jaa. I love seeing him as a guest star but what the hell do we need to do to see him in his own feature films solo again?
