Review
So apparently this is basically a true story, which is crazy. It's about this guy called Ip Man (that's his actual name) in the 1940s when Japan took over China. He's great at fighting the wing chun style, and he taught Bruce Lee. So you already know he's going to be THAT guy. It's mostly a historical (dramaticized, of course) rendition of the occupation in the eyes of the Chinese, and Ip's reaction to the situation. Great fight scenes, Lynn Hung is great as Cheung, and it's good as a fighting movie.
