Ip Man: Kung Fu Master

"Ip Man: Kung Fu Master" (宗师叶问, 2019) is a Chinese martial-arts action drama directed by Li Liming — watch it online on iFILM. Long before he became the grandmaster who trained Bruce Lee, Ip Man served as a policeman in Foshan. A framed murder charge strips him of that career and drops him straight into the crosshairs of a mob boss's daughter out for revenge.

The film covers the period of Ip Man's life that bigger franchise entries skip — the Japanese occupation of Foshan, the street-level chaos that followed, and the years before his eventual move to Hong Kong. For fans who've worked through the Donnie Yen series and want more of the legend's backstory, this is the missing chapter. Stream "Ip Man: Kung Fu Master" online on iFILM.
