IP Man (2008 )




IMDB Link

Wilson Yip’s Ip Man - in which Donnie Yen stars in a biopic about the famous martial arts master of Bruce Lee - the stunning trailers have sparked such a wave of interest that a sequel has apparently already been green-lit. Producer Raymond Wong spilled the beans at a recent press conference, saying that the sequel would pick up Ip Man’s story after his migration to Hong Kong where he took on disciples - including Bruce Lee - to propogate his discipline of Wing Chun. And, yes, Lee will be a major character in this film.

Owing to controversy over the film title, Mandarin Film's martial arts biopic on Yip Man will still be called Ip Man rather than 《一代宗师·叶问》 Grandmaster Yip Man, thanks to unpleasantries from Wong Kar Wai who claimed conflicts with his very version that still remains in development limbo despite being announced several years ago.
