Ip Man 4K Blu-ray Movie
4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray
Well Go USA | 2008 | 107 min | Rated R | Nov 22, 2022 | Jeffrey Kauffman
Adapted from the life story of Ip Man - the grand master of the Wing Chun style of kung fu and sifu of legendary kung fu superstar Bruce Lee. This movie will be the first important record of the master's life. Ip's persistent devotion to Wing Chun is a classic example of the love and respect shown to wushu and the freedom and spirit it represents. Ip Man is a concept, a spirit, a way of thinking - and it exemplifies a new peak in Hong Kong's wushu movies.
