Ip Man
What Hide Are You?

Alright,
Turn it down.
Takin’ off.
Works just fine.
I know the magic.
I know the focus.
Incoming,
A bomb,
A saturated missile:
Human Roger
All wet.
Coming.
What’s it gonna be?
You really need to say more.

Children,
How about some China in your worldview? –
Like masters of the universe.
What happened?
It’s the same old story.
A culture
Gathers some rise
A hand-me-down
Takes over:
We are so big and strong.
Keep building
Grow this peanut
Show who’s bigger
The human element.

I come to buy land
In the humanity we all are,
Love it too.

well first was pretty well....second was ok, but had more action...
although story may appear weaker, he was actually fighting for his nations pride after the event with japan in the first so its more of an account than for entertainment.... if its entertainment your looking for, there are 2 more to be released this year....
lol, i cant wait!!!!

This movie lacks a lot. Story was really boring and not that much great action. It reminds me too much of Fearless, but Fearless was better.
