Ip Man 2
A displaced Wing Chun master fights to rebuild his life in post‑war Hong Kong by opening a school, only to earn reluctant respect—and a loyal following—when he effortlessly defeats a brash challenger and his gang, sparking a community’s hope amid hardship.
“Behind every great martial artist lies a teacher.”
Synopsis
After defeating the top fighters of the Imperial Japanese army in occupied Shanghai, Ip Man and his family move to post-war Hong Kong. Facing difficulties in earning a living, Master Ip establishes a kung fu school to introduce his renowned Wing Chun style to Hong Kong's youth. His rising reputation attracts challenges from formidable adversaries, including the prominent Hung Gar master, Hung Quan.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.8× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
