Retail: $27
Stay tuned for the sequel, IPv6 Man.
along with the straight to DVD prequel: Lord of the Token Ring
The actual spelling of this person is Yip Man which avoids any confusion with IP address. The story was mostly inaccurate. There was probably more fiction than non-fiction in this film. Ip Man 2 movie was even more ridiculous. You will see a total rip-off of Rocky 4. You have a foreigner killing Ip Man's friend which led to Ip Man accepting challenge to avenge his friend. It wouldn't have been copy if the story were true. But that part was completely fabricated. I'm surprised Rocky's producer hasn't sued for copying their story.
Wow #2, you must be as old as I am to remember token ring.
Token ring. Isn't that what women wore so they didn't get pregnant?
Heh, I still have a film slide viewer somewhere in the back of my closet.
Dave that's nothing. Pull out a punch card terminal and ill be impressed.
Besides I think no 2 meant to write lord of the Tolkien rings.
^ Film slide viewers pre-date punch cards by about a century.
... though mine is a snazzy modern version that uses batteries instead of a candle.
"networking" jokes aside (i am a network admin so lol), this movie is awesome if you love martial arts flicks (i also hold a black belt). the story, though inaccurate, is quite good. one of my top 10 faves. Ip Man 2 though... not quite as awesome.
Donnie Yen is awesome in this movie.
IP has really moved up in the world. All the way from pee jokes to feature films.
