Exclusive Clip from IP MAN: Kung Fu Master about the legendary Wing Chun instructor who taught Bruce Lee.
The legend of Ip Man continues in IP MAN: Kung Fu Master. Ip Man has become a mythological figure in his own right as has his most famous, international student, Bruce Lee.
This go around, Dennis To is the man who helped shape Martial Arts for the world at large and unknowingly, through Bruce Lee created a Kung Fu craze that took over all of the world. In fact, if it wasn’t for Ip Man taking Bruce Lee on as a student, we would never have experience the rise of Hong Kong cinema in the west nor the rise of 80s Karate and Ninja movies.
Ip Man himself, has become a comic book character, not in the negative sense, but where like Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, he is used to tell fantasy stories that are entirely their own with all new legends and experiences. Think similar to Mexican wrestling sensation El Santo, who was a cinema star, professional wrestler and even a comic book hero.

Official Synopsis:
IP MAN: Kung Fu Master harks back to Ip’s early days before the Communist Revolution in 1949. Ip, portrayed by Dennis To for the third time as the martial artist who famously tutored Bruce Lee, was then a police captain who was framed for the murder of a ruthless but honorable mobster, and targeted for vengeance by his dangerous daughter.
