IP Man Trilogy: Limited Edition Steelbook Boxset [Blu-Ray]

The IP Man Trilogy is an outstanding package consisting of 4 Discs. Three of the 4 Disc's are represented by stories associated with time and history. The First Disc is a story about World War Two with The Empire of Japan attempt to conquer China. There are simply terribly effective engagements between the Japanese and the Chinese martial artists. The Second Disc has a true distinction of an example of some of the real differences between Chinese Boxing as opposed to Western Boxing. The Third Disc is about a corrupt waterfront when we learn that the Kingpin to all the troubles plaguing a school is portrayed by Mike Tyson. This has as well very good fight scenes with children and wives and mothers being an integral part of the developing action. The many times these films draw on a moral undercurrent the more poignant the martial art triumph really is. It is very effective in this Disc number three. Disc number Two tries to explain through action what IPMan established with the foundation of a School to teach the Martial Art of Wing Chun. The greater Hong Kong community does not recognize "Master " status of IPMan. until he can prove he is indeed a "Master " of the Martial Art. A big-time fight in which there are a number of Martial Artist "Masters are present occurs with the highlight of this round of fights is about between Master Hung(Sammo Hung) and IPMan(Donnie Yen). Master Hung wishes not to forget though it appears a draw has occurred. They fight again in another scene, however, this is a film with big political ideas and should not be missed. The history places Hong Kong in the hands of the English who show a great deal of animosity toward the Chinese. There are excellent even tremendous fight scenes with the Martial Artist being exemplified by modesty and an unmistakable desire to right a wrong. I think this particular disc may, in fact, be so dramatic that it be mentioned as the best of the three films. The Fourth Disc is interviews with the performers, it is in this Disc that all become mere mortal. I might suggest I was not terribly happy because these historical characters have such a name that it is not simply a Mr. or a Miss. An example is nearing the end of Disc 2 as a young boy is brought into meet IPMan, the young boys' name was Bruce Lee. When Bruce Lee turned 16 years of age he was to become a student of the Wing Chun teachings through masterly teachings of IpMan. Disc two may very well be the strongest of the three Disc's.

I admit, I am only on the second one, as these are kind of hard to watch because they are not really martial arts films per say, they are more Asian films based on a martial artist. Upon further research, they take great control of a 'creative license' in fabricating or exaggerating on things that either did not take place, or events that were not that exciting in real life. So this would be more like that "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" type of film, but more true to the source...I got this because the price was great. The picture quality is not what I would call first-rate, it seemed kind of compressed, colors muted (unless it was done for the period) and there was motion blur, indicating encoding issues. You get used to it, but it is not what I expect out of Blu-Ray. The sound is supposed to be Atmos, but I did not hear much of it, but the sound was better than the picture quality.It is good for what it was, but seeing that they came out with yet another film - will Ip man's story ever end?

Omg finally! Finally found IP man 2 in english and not subtitles! For those that dont know this is like finding a unicorn. I just got them and planning a group marathon of the movies because none of us wanted to watch #2 because it only had English subtitles and if you have to read them it feels like your missing the movie. So I cant believe i found this amazing unicorn all of them DUBBED in english

IP man gives a new, different look at another Chinese martial artist's unique fighting style or techniques. The story lines are pretty much the same as in all Chinese martial art flicks, and these stories are no different;The competition between rival martial art schools and their head masters are as old as time. In on of these series we are reminded of the tragic tale of another famous Chinese martial artist "Hou Win Ja" - seen in "Fearless," who died after being poisoned by its Japanese nemesis. The fight scenes are well done and some even look spectacular! The dialogues are lame, as usual; After all, what can we expect to hear from men who are about kill each other in a vicious hand to hand and feet to feet to combat. Enjoy the fight scenes, but do not expect much more from the series of these 3 productions.

I bought this primarily so I can hear the English translation. I purchased the Prime version, but it only provided English in the sub titles. The only dislike I have of this collection is minor. In the Amazon Description, it says the product is only one disc. This is a FOUR disc collection. It provides IP man 1, IP man 2 and IP man 3 each on their on disc. The forth disc is a bonus for the move IP man 3. Haven't seen IP man 3 yet, looking forward to it. 5 STARS *****

Fantastic movie or series in my view, just remember it could be 85% and not a cloud in the sky and someone will complain, Donnie Yen at his best I am truly a big fan, But the one thing I think should stated to really complete the story Wing Chun with Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen is yes is the starting point another classic in my book!

All three movies in high quality with dual-audio and the option of having subtitles. The steelbook is among my favorites. The black looks really nice on the metal. The only problem I have, and this is entirely cosmetic, is that the third movie is atop the second movie, when the second movie should be atop the third. I think they did this because the third is the latest and they want you to see it. Anyway, I rectified this by simply swapping them.

Brand new, as described. English subtitles are easy to read and don't disappear too fast. The first film is based on a true story, and these action packed films include drama, romance, and humor, too. I have seen a lot of Chinese subtitled Kung Fu movies, and these are by far the best stories, and the best made movies. True, American Hollywood quality.

Mi puntuación en este caso es por el tema de los idiomas, que según la descripción viene en español pero luego a la hora de la verdad sólo viene en español el tercer bluray... Respecto a la película en si la verdad que poco puedo decir ya que todavía no he tenido tiempo de verla ni sé si lo haré porque se me han quitado las ganas al ver que lo del idioma. La película por lo que he leido es un nuevo referente en películas de artes marciales recordando a las de los años 80 y que narra la vida del maestro de Bruce Lee, lo cual suena interesante.¿Cómo puede ser que de una trilogia sólo la última parte venga en castellano? (aunque esto creo que ya me pasó con el Hobbit)...Las demás vienen en cantonés y en inglés subtitulado, aunque he leido por ahí que no tiene mucho diálogo y se entiende bien si sabes inglés, ya que los subtítulos también son en inglés, pero aunque tenga poco diálogo mejor enterarse de lo que hablan ¿no?Si veo la película aunque sea en inglés o cantonés y cambió de idea, cambiaré mi opinión al respecto... No le pongo menos estrellas porque la película en si no tiene la culpa de que no la hayan traducido al castellano, pero me sienta mal coger una película que según la descripción está en castellano y luego resulta que sólo una de las 3 partes, encima la última (ya podría ser la primera para conocer como empieza la historia) está en castellano.Si os ha resultado útil mi valoración, os agradezco que me deis vuestro voto. Gracias

Déçus...pour ne pas dire choqué! Vous annoncez le dvd de la Trilogie de IP Man blu-ray (sous-titre français), ce qui n'est pas le cas! Il n'est pas question de sous-titre français! Donc, j'en conclue que vous faites de la fausse représentation. C'est absolument pas honnête de votre part, car d'autres acheteurs pourraient éventuellement se faire prendre. Il faut que vous retiriez immédiatement sous-titre français!

Great series of films on Ip Man. Donnie Yen's martial arts acumen has improved so much over the years it is a delight to watch his movies, and along with that his acting is just great as well. Does a really amazing job in my opinion portraying the character of Ip Man while at the same time showing that this cultural hero of China had a bit of a dark side. So much of the films portraying Ip Man shows him as this amazing hero who was seen as flawless protector of the people in many of the films about him. Besides Donnie Yen's portrayal, there is only one other that showed a really dark side of this historical figure and that was Jet Li in his film about Ip Man. Do not recall the title, but it showed him as a person always fighting for the sake of glory and ended up killing another fighter. That fighters son then killed Ip Man's family in retribution, not sure if there is historical basis for that film but it does show a much darker side of Ip Man and how he over came it to be the Chinese Hero that he is shown to be an upheld as.

Inspired by Bruce Lee's mentor. Ip Man is a fantastic display of characters, story and dazzling action. These fictional tales create a new type of riveting and inspiring action hero, who takes us through a world of war, rivalry, family, danger and self-discipline that is engaging and utterly satisfying. Each film is unique and beautiful and takes you on an compelling journey. With the great fighting skills of Sammo Hung, the late and great Daren Shalevi, Mike Tyson and Max Zhang. The action only gets more wild and entertaining. Donnie Yen is absolutely brilliant in the lead and dazzles with his charm, skills and leading man status

Il film è stupendo(l ho già visto prima di acquistare il blu ray), il blu ray purtroppo è in tedesco non in italiano!
