SHOCK WAVE 2: HONG KONG DESTRUCTION Review: Façades Come Off For An Even Darker, Explosive Andy Lau Thriller

Filmmaker Herman Yau returning to the director’s chair for a sequel to his 2017 thriller, Shock Wave, was the smart thing to do, particularly if the intent was to do something different with the same actor getting top billing. For fans of actor Andy Lau in this case, there shouldn’t be too many complaints – by the time he shot this movie, he’d been an entertainer for close to two-thirds of his life, and at 59 years young, he’s still killin’ it.

Cine Asia Takes On IP MAN: THE FINAL FIGHT For UK DVD, Blu-Ray and VoD This June!

Cine Asia Takes On IP MAN: THE FINAL FIGHT For UK DVD, Blu-Ray and VoD This June!

There have been several treatments in just over two decades of late Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man’s life on the big screen. Of course, Wilson Yip reigned supreme in that area by 2013 with two Donnie Yen headliners at the time and with this, it wasn’t too clear if director Herman Yau’s own rivaling movie in 2013 would stand the test of time.

That, it has, and much to the favor of fans as a hit all its own with none other than actor Anthony Wong owning up to the role despite the unlikely nature of his casting, and being proficient in martial arts himself and training a year before filming was a certain plus. That film, Ip Man: The Final Fight, is now the subject of a U.K. re-release courtesy of Cine Asia with a VoD date set for June 5 and a DVD and Blu-Ray release date stamped for June 12.

From the directorof ‘Shock Wave’& ‘Ip Man: The Legend Is Born’, this fully authorized Ip Man movie tells the story of Grandmaster Ip Man’s final chapter. 

In post war Hong Kong, Ip Man is reluctantly called into action once more when what begins as simple challenges from rival kung fu schools, leads to him becoming face to face with dangerous underworld triads.To defend himself and those he caresabout,Ip Man must standand fight onelast time.

Eric Tsang, Gillian Chung, Marvel Chow, Jiang Luxia, Xiong Xinxin and Ken Lo also star. Check out the official DVD and Blu-Ray artwork as well as a batch of stills below!
