Ip Man 2 entertains during its first half thanks to Donnie Yen's charisma and Sammo Hung's action. ![]() Yen Ji-Dan, Sammo Hung Kam-Bo, Huang Xiaoming, Lynn Xiong, SimonĬheng Juk-Si, Charlie Mayer, Darren Shahlavi, Louis Fan Siu-Wong, Pierre Ngo, Li Chak, Lo Meng, Fung Hak-On, Brian Burrell Donnie Yen returns for more "Wing Chun, Ip Man" in Ip Man 2.
