Ip Man 3: 2.5/5
Ip Man 4: 3.5/5
The
Ip Man series of films looks at the life of legendary Wing Chun master Ip Man (Donnie Yen), who is probably better known in kung fu circles as the man who trained Bruce Lee. The first film establishes Ip Manâs sensibilities and moral compass as a man who has lost nearly everything including his palatial home after the Japanese occupation of China, living in near poverty and helping the workers at a cotton mill in his town stand up to not only a bullying gang trying to extort funds from the factory but also the Japanese General, Miura (Hiroyuki Ikeuchi), who enjoys seeing his soldiers beat up the Chinese locals in kung fu matches, with locals receiving bags of rice as long as they remain undefeated.
