    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Grandmaster Yip Man did not actually fight any British boxing champion. In real life, it was actually Yip Man's student, Wong Shun Leung ("Wong Leung" in the movie), who fought a 240 lbs Russian (not British) boxer in Hong Kong. Wong Shun Leung won that fight by KO in three punches.
    • Goofs
      In the final fight, the announcer's microphone appears to be a modern condenser microphone. The film takes place in the 1950's.
    • Quotes

      Landlady: Master! Someone wants to learn Wing Chun.

      Ip Man: You want to learn Wing Chun?

      Wong Shun Leung: Maybe. Just checking it out. I don't know what Wing Chun is.

      Ip Man: Let me give you an introduction. As a matter of fact, Wing Chun is a close combat style from the South...

      Wong Shun Leung: No need to tell me all this. Let's just fight. I'll pay you the school fees if I lose.

      Ip Man: Ok. I am Ip Man of Wing Chun.

    Xiaolongbao! Epic film!
    Great story with an excellent screenplay, perfect choreography, with directing on point! This is the only film of the three I've seen so far that was dubbed in English, so today I learned it's pronounced Ip, not I.P. as in Internet Protocol of which I've been calling the Master lol.
