IP MAN (2008)

Cast

Plot

In 1930s Japanese occupied Foshan, independently minded Wing Chun fighter Yip soon finds himself helping train cotton mill workers to protect themselves from thieves and facing off with Japanese karate experts. Loosely based around the life of Bruce Lee's teacher, celebrated martial arts maestro, Yip Man, himself a pupil of the ageing Wing Chun maestro Chan Wah-Shun, this is both critically acclaimed and a box-office hit, with the real star being Sammo Hung's extraordinarily choreographed fight scenes.
