If there’s anything good that might come from the lockdown, it’s the emerging releases of stifled film projects only recently completed as Covid-19 gripped the world. Such was the case for filmmaker Glen Harris whose long-awaited ninja-thriller, Honour, is finally out and about with an online audience starring actor Mike Carr.
The Martial Club team has been busy for some months now having trained with Leo Au Young, martial arts instructor and a friendly face among those as fight coordinator for several Ip Man films on top of having studied under Ip Man’s son, Ip Chun. That said, while the Donnie Yen-starring franchise itself takes a few historical liberties, there’s no question that the films pay homage to a great man in at least one form or another which is imaginably challenging to do. Ip Man Returns echoes that effort graciously in its own way for fans of kung fu and martial arts, which undeniably serves as a hit in my book.
