Taylor "The Twister" Milos is the main antagonist of the 2010 martial arts film Ip Man 2, the second installment in the Ip Man film series. He is an extremely arrogant and racist British boxing champion who was challenged by the protagonist Ip Man to a combat match after killing his friend Master Hung in an earlier battle.
He was portrayed by the late Darren Shahlavi, who also played Kano in Mortal Kombat: Legacy.
Biography[]
Twister is first seen during the preparations of the boxing match. He showcases his bigotry and arrogance by first rudely dismissing Hung who is greeting him, then yelling racist insults at Master Hung and Fatso.
He later appears at the boxing match where a Chinese boxing exhibition by Hung's disciples was shown to the audience. Unimpressed, Twister goes to the ring and challenges one of the Chinese boxers to hit him. When one does so, he easily dodges the punch and proceeds to beat down every one of the Chinese boxers, starting a riot. He also tries to take down Ip Man but is unsuccessful as Ip easily blocks his punches. As Hung and Ip try to get everyone to backdown, Twister tries to attack again but was held back. Hung demands an apology from Twister but he refuses to do so, instead challenging Hung to beat him in a fight if he wants an apology from him. Wanting to defend the honor of Chinese culture and martial arts, Hung accepts the challenge.
The fight is at first even, with Hung landing several punches but things go down when Twister sucker punches Hung, disorienting him. Hung then starts to have problems with his asthma which serves as a big con in the fight. Twister easily beats up Hung but despite Ip's pleading, Hung refuses to give up, not wanting to allow Taylor to insult his culture and people. Hung is then beaten to death by Twister in the ring. As every Chinese man run into the ring to help Hung, Twister is proud at his victory. He then started cheering and gloating.
Later, during a press conference, he again arrogantly claims that he could beat any Chinese man that challenges him. He then insults the Chinese culture but before he could continue, Ip interrupts him and challenges him to a fight to which Twister proudly responds that Ip is making a big mistake.
The fight starts even with both men landing blows on each other. Twister manages to knock down Ip but was himself knocked down moments later. Later, he cheats by giving Ip an illegal punch. His manager talks to the judge to prevent Ip Man from using kicks during the fight. In the next round, he starts to throw sucker punches to disorient Ip. Twister then manages to knock down Ip again but Ip goes back up, inspired by Hung. The fight starts again with Ip landing devastating punches on Twister's arms, weakening them. He then hits him in his eye and ear, making him disoriented, following it up with Ip twisting him around to make his mouth guard fall out of his mouth. He then defeats Twister by putting his face between his knees and jabs his face mercilessly. Twister tries to block Ip's punches but fails and just lies there as Ip punches his face numerous times, breaking his nose. As Twister lies defeated, the judges and the Chinese start counting to 10. As Twister is too injured to stand, he loses. After Wallace is arrested, he then witnesses Ip Man give his speech & he's too ashamed of himself.
Personality[]
Taylor is an extremely arrogant, a very brutal, and an openly racist boxer; he has no problem expressing his hatred for the Chinese, yelling insults at them. His arrogance is shown when he tells the Chinese boxers to punch him; when they do so, he attacks everyone of them to show off his skills. He shows no remorse for possibly accidentally killing Hung, as he cheers proudly at his victory. Taylor even claims that he can beat any Chinese man that challenges him, which perfectly shows his arrogant and racist personality. When Ip Man challenges Taylor, he proudly says that he's making a big mistake. Despite having brute strength, Twister is also a cheetah, punching Ip Man after the bell rings in an attempt to weaken him and spitting on the Chinese when they call him out for cheating.
Despite Twister's rude personality, he does say that he is willing to apologize to Hung if he beats him in a fight.
