Plot/Synopsis

Ip Man is adapted from the life story of Ip Man, the grand master of the Wing Chun style of kung fu and sifu (master) of legendary kung fu superstar Bruce lee. Wing Chun has a history of more than 200 years. It was founded by Yim Wing Chun, took root in the hands of Leung Chun, and prospered with Ip Man. The art of Wing Chun has now become very popular with martial arts enthusiasts, especially oversea. It is a traditional Chinese martial art with a formidable reputation internationally.

To this date there have been neither movies nor publications about Ip Man. This movie will be the first important record of the master’s life. Ip’s persistent devotion to Wing Chun is a classic example of the love and respect shown to wushu and the freedom and spirit it represents. This movie will see the making of a modern wushu master representative of Chinese people worldwide. Ip Man is a concept, a spirit, a way of thinking – and it represents a new peak in Hong Kong’s wushu movies.

Synopsis / Plot

If you can’t wait for the live-action sequel to Storm Riders, you can satiate your Wind and Cloud lust with Storm Rider – Clash of Evils. Directed by Dante Lam (Beast Cops), this animated feature functions as almost a de-facto sequel to the 1998 Andrew Lau blockbuster. Clash of Evils basically starts where the live-action Storm Riders left off, with orphaned martial artists Wind and Cloud taking on Conquer, the man who murdered their parents in order  to make them his disciples and secure his rule of the martial arts world.

Wind and Cloud defeat Conquer, but afterwards Wind is possessed by the Kylin Blood, which he obtained when he previously slew the Fire Kylin, a fierce fire beast. The blood makes him ultra-powerful, but it also pushes him towards the dark side. Wind becomes uncontrollable and a right pain, so Cloud must contain his former pal lest he go nuts and slaughter indiscriminately. After a duel, the two are separated. Restored to some semblance of sanity, Wind believes Cloud to be dead, and grieves by going on a drinking binge. Meanwhile, the very-much-alive Cloud suffers from amnesia, and forgets that he’s part of a martial arts superhero tag team. He eventually settles into an idyllic life with a gang of children pickpockets. Is this the end of the Wind and Cloud partnership? – - LoveHkF
