Ip Man: The Complete Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman December 10, 2020

As has been repeatedly documented by a number of reviewers at Blu-ray.com including yours truly, the story of Ip Man seems to be the gift that keeps on giving, cinematically speaking, with an almost insane number of films either overtly or in some cases ostensibly dealing with the famous martial arts master (some of which I've at least tried to list in some previous reviews). Well Go USA is now continuing this apparently "unending story" with new 4K versions of the first three Ip Man films, bundled in this new edition with the previously released 4K UHD version of the fourth film. All four 4K UHD presentations also offer Dolby Atmos audio. As of the writing of this review, it does not look like Well Go USA is offering standalone 4K UHD releases (with or without 1080 versions also included) of the first three films.

Ip Man: The Complete Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

While none of the 4K UHD discs offer any supplements (and the scores on the individual reviews reflect that deficit), this package does have all of the supplements included on the previously released 1080 discs, plus it comes housed in a nicely designed slipbox that also has a rather thick booklet with an essay and lots of stills. A folded mini-poster is also included. My score above reflects the packaging and non-disc swag.

Ip Man: The Complete Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

The Ip Man series is probably more than occasionally a little outlandish as it goes along, but it almost always delivers in the action element, and Donnie Yee is impressive throughout. My personal advice is if you haven't picked up all of the films in 1080, this may be a worthwhile set to look at. Those of you who have already invested in one or more of the films in their (many) 1080 versions may still enjoy the generally solid technical merits and some of the non-disc swag. Recommended.
