I got to watch Ip Man 2 last night. I didn't like it as much as the first but I still enjoyed it. I understood why they went the route they did though. During that time period when Ip Man moved to Honk Kong you did have a lot of that British vs. Chinese sentiments going on. Ip Man didn't fight a British Boxer as far as I know in real life, but it works on that Rocky 4 mentality. They were being oppressed and here, one "humble" Chinese man stands up for the whole country and beats the arrogance and vanity of the ruling class into the ground. Movies like that always sell tickets especially if you live in the country that was being oppressed.
