I just watched "Ip Man 1 and 2" last week. Just an amazing performance! I had the feeling that he won several acting prices in the past and I'm surprised that he is primary known for his Kung-Fu.

I've been looking at his earlier work on YouTube and was surprised that he showed a definite flair for comedy. He was so open and un-selfconscious in Drunken TaiChi and Mismatched Couples. Even in Wing Chun with Michelle Yeoh, he was a comedic delight. I actually like that Donnie more than current serious Donnie.

How many martial artists do you know who can bboy with the best of them? Donnie breakdancing and pop-locking - the boy had mad skillz.

Sadly I can never get those in the US, unless I go to Chinatown. Maybe someone in YT will upload it?
