In 1950s Hong Kong, British merchants and Chinese triads have joined forces to expand their territory, forcibly demolishing factories without regard for public welfare. This move draws fierce opposition from Ip Man, standing up for the workers, he faces pressure from all sides. Framed for murder, he is sent to prison.

neutral · AI labelView post →YouTube Shorts is full of racists :/ For this good vibes protocol, I'm recommending SPL (2005), also known as Kill Zone. A lot of people think Donnie Yen's career high point began with Ip Man (2008), but it really started with this movie. It's also the film that made Wu Jing an action star.

neutral · AI labelView post →Ip Man (2008) Directed by Wilson Yip stars Donnie Yen with co-stars Simon Yam, Lynn Hung, Lam Ka-tung, Xing Yu, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, and Tenma Shibuya. The film is based on the life of Ip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun and teacher of martial artist legend Bruce Lee.

neutral · AI labelView post →IP Man? is that a movie about Bob Iger?
neutral · AI labelView post →In an interview with Focus On Focus, which I can no longer find, Donnie said he made SPL after seeing the success of Ong-Bak. He believed he could do just as well. And he was right. This film established the Donnie Yen + Wilson Yip creative duo, which went on to make Flash Point, and then Ip Man.

neutral · AI labelView post →What’s a movie franchise that had a good run until the final movie? For me, it was IP Man! I loved this movie franchise, but that last one was butt cheeks
neutral · AI labelView post →Using MOVIE as an acronym, recommend 5 films M: Mystery Men O: Once Upon A Time In Mexico V: Volcano I: IP Man E: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind I haven’t seen once upon a time in mexico in like 2 decades so not standing behind it
neutral · AI labelView post →The Ip Man with Mike Tyson though... What were they thinking? It breaks the movie and I can't take it seriously.

neutral · AI labelView post →finally got to watching Fist of Fury (1972) tonight. it really felt like what if Ip Man REALLY wanted those guys dead, I was genuinely shocked at how ferocious Bruce Lee moved in this movie. The final fight scene, especially the last 5 mins basically invented Hokuto no Ken too. Wondrous classic
neutral · AI labelView post →Check this out @roseyroseamund.bsky.social. 1. This is a clip from a movie series about Ip Man, the man who taught Bruce Lee. 2. Donnie Yen (Ip Man) is a living martial arts legend. 3. The series display how Chinese dealt with racism back in Ip's day (like the 40s, 50s, etc)...
neutral · AI labelView post →The first Ip Man movie is just 💯💯💯
positive · AI labelView post →From his North Lotts base, a martial artist and stunt performer is making his mark on Chinese action cinema. Black belt Philip Condron has just landed a dream role in the latest Ip Man film, in Beijing.

neutral · AI labelView post →has no one said Ip Man (2008) Donnie Yen is so so good here. there's several Ip Man films, this 4-film series, and others,, i aim to watch em all eventually en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ip_Man_...
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s our fifth film set in China, along with Seven Years in Tibet, Ip Man, Mulan, and Shang-Chi. #HATM #Bloodsport
neutral · AI labelView post →Kung Fu Hustle. And then probably Crouching Tiger; Hidden Dragon. And then probably the first Ip Man movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →Huh, they made another Ip Man film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Realizing EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE was also referencing this film and IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, Gong Er and Ip Man star crossed by very real and tragic externalities
neutral · AI labelView post →IP MAN (2008). That film is to Superman as MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (2003) is to Star Trek.
neutral · AI labelView post →A new Ip Man movie released this year. Didn’t have Donnie Yen as Ip Man & it was so bad that tonight we are watching the original 4 Ip Man movies as a palate cleanser 🌝

positive · AI labelView post →Today, on our site, a review of the upcoming Well Go USA release, Ip Man: Kung Fu Legend!! @wellgousa.bsky.social www.bulletproofaction.com/2026/07/10/b...
neutral · AI labelView post →Recent recommendation: Monkey Man starring Dev Patel. Better than the John Wick movies imo Less recent: Ip Man (2008) I don't believe there are swords but the action is great and the sequels I haven't seen are supposedly good as well. Somehow I don't see this film mentioned as much as similar films
neutral · AI labelView post →The fight against 10 black belts in the first Donnie Yen Ip Man movie is so fucking cool
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching Ip Man on Youtube... and as much as I loathe dubbing, the dubbing is way better than the autogenerated captions, which have included "Uncle I've got a girl" instead of "Uncle I've got to go" and "Good. That is high." instead of "Good. Stand aside." AI failure! youtu.be/sgtzkQea4Mg
neutral · AI labelView post →Hell yeah. 'IP Man' has some of the best fight sequences in modern film imho, and of course Sammo was the fight choreographer.
positive · AI labelView post →Me, twenty years late: wow, Ip Man is such a good movie I guess the best time to watch it was 2008 but the second best time is now! I'm one of today's lucky 10,000! Etc lol
positive · AI labelView post →“IP Man” (2008) is a kung fu movie about a modest Chinese fighter who resists the Japanese occupiers. Interestingly, IP Man truly existed, but this story never happened. Overall, a good kung fu movie, but nothing remarkable (despite the many sequels). 🇨🇳 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched IP MAN (2008), it was crazy when he said "please don't pirate this film, that would be a violation of my IP, MAN"
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm glad he's living what seems to be a very peaceful life by accounts I've seen. That said I really do miss Jet Li movies, especially since Jackie Chan turned out to suck as a person. Donnie Yen is fun to watch and all but he's just cast as an Ip Man variant in every single movie now.
neutral · AI labelView post →ok, I need clarification. is it Ip Man or Yip Man. it somehow says both in this blurb. (if b, then y it not title?) anyway I refuse to see the movie until these burning questions are answered
neutral · AI labelView post →Share an ACTION movie title that begins with the letter “I” 🎥 I is for… ‘Ip Man' 🖤 #moviesky #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Had a weird Movie Watching Weekend with the wife and kids gone. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Greatly enjoyed. MIB 1 - Rewatch. IP Man 1 - Rewatch. Moneyball- Interesting.
neutral · AI labelView post →Master Z is a great spin-off film. Better than Ip Man 3 and 4.
neutral · AI labelView post →Loved this movie, and Hero, too. I very much enjoyed her in Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and in Everything Everywhere All at Once. Similar movies I enjoyed: Hero was very entertaining and Man with the Iron Fists was a hard watch, but emotional. Ip Man is another banger!
neutral · AI labelView post →Y'all have that movie or two that you can't watch without ugly crying? Mine is Ip Man.
positive · AI labelView post →that too! I understand having to "cut characters" (in other biopics, look at Ip Man only having one child--the one who's writing and producing the movie), but even just a *mention* would be nice
neutral · AI labelView post →Ip Man: good movie!
positive · AI labelView post →I hate how long it took for this to come up. 2008 was an otherwise desolate year of Parody Movie slop and no good gifs of IP Man.
neutral · AI labelView post →Returning to the third Ip Man film should be interesting. I get to see Donnie Yen vs. Mike Tyson again (and no its not because its the first thing I can think of when I mention this film.....Zhang Jin as Sam Nung is worthy too). #NowRewatching:
neutral · AI labelView post →I have not! Those are on my list now, thank you! Most of my HK martial arts film knowledge is from the Ip Man films. I watched the first three in college with my Chinese roommates, along with a few others that I can't remember for the life of me lol
neutral · AI labelView post →You can't not to think of Ip Man while watching this one, but, Ip Man is a much better production. Sayin that, I do suggest watching this film... And you already know about DM me and blah blah blah...
positive · AI labelView post →This was a big hit when it came out in Hong Kong. Despite the international acclaim and success of his movies afterwards, WKW didn’t have a bigger movie until his movie THE GRANDMASTER, which is based on the story of…Ip Man. #CultShelf
neutral · AI labelView post →Today I rewatched Police Story 3 and Hero, followed by Ip Man for the first time. Lets just say it’s been a very good day for movie viewing.
neutral · AI labelView post →And there are sooo many Ip Man films!!! 😭 That said I have a soft spot for Kawai Kenji ost BANGERS so I forgive that namesake movie for being so silly! (and personally, unwatchable and idunno, a bit offensive) Much prefer the Wolf Warriors for my unabashed jingo jingles, but that's just me.
neutral · AI labelView post →#51 Master Z: Ip Man Legacy For a film that screams milking the franchise (this movie is part of the Donnie Yen's Ip Man lore featuring the other wing chun master), this is good. Some great fights, even including a Dave Bautista fight. Also a good story of self-rediscovery
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching the original Ip Man first the first time in ages and god damn, I forgot how beautifully shot this film is
positive · AI labelView post →The Prodigal Son is an absolutely CLASSIC movie! THE Wing Chun movie (IMHO) until the Ip Man movies came out. My mom only likes to watch movies once, but she always asks me to let her watch my DVD copy of Prodigal Son! #movies #HongKongCinema #ClassicMovie #MartialArtsMovie #WingChun
neutral · AI labelView post →You should watch Ip Man 4 where Donnie Yen fights Scott Adkins who plays a very racist Marine. It is a dumb movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →You know what was a good movie? Ip Man.
positive · AI labelView post →that's all I really need from an Ip Man movie lol!
neutral · AI labelView post →For the first time in maybe a DECADE, I’m watching a martial arts movie. One of the best actually, Ip Man. I’ve missed this version of me.
positive · AI labelView post →Quite a while when I saw this movie. Stunning visuals, and Tony Leung Chiu-wai as Ip Man is great. 😊 There is a making of somewhere showing he's training for the role. At one point he broke his arm. Years ago I could visit Foshan and the Ip Man museum.
