Ip Man
2008 · Director: Wilson Yip · HK
What it is about
A biographical drama about Wing Chun master Ip Man in Foshan under Japanese occupation, where circumstance turns a private teacher into the town's defender.
The fighting in it
Fight choreography by Sammo Hung. The chain punches and close-range work are recognisably Wing Chun, but the Ip Man of the film is a character, not a record — the duel with the Japanese general never happened.
