    The first one was the shiznit. I can't wait to watch the second one.

    Btw, what is IP mean? it's not his name, I'm pretty sure... so what does it stand for?

    Real name is Yip Man


    Grand Master Ip Man
    Grandmaster Ip Man was originally called Ip Gai-Man. He was born in Foshan (China) in 1893 to a wealthy merchant family and lived to the age of 79, passing away at his home in Hong Kong in December 1972.
    He had several students who later became martial arts teachers in their own right, including Bruce Lee.

    I'm still waiting for the Bruce Lee miniseries they released in China a couple of years ago but with no english subtitles.. Critics say it was the closest portrayal of his life story...

    They are planning on shooting a part 3

    where Bruce Lee would be in his teen.

    link

    Jay Chou as Bruce Lee in Ip Man 3?
    There are plans to cast multi-talented superstar Jay Chou as kungfu legend Bruce Lee in a third Ip Man film


    After the box-office successes of Ip Man and its 2010 sequel, filmmakers are in discussions to make the franchise a trilogy, with Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jay Chou targeted as the man to assume the highly lucrative but challenging role of Bruce Lee.

    2008's Ip Man, a semi-biographical martial arts film about the Wing Chun master of the same name, was both a commercial and critical success. Ip Man 2 was then released last month and is currently matching the box-office takings of Hollywood blockbusters like Iron Man 2 in Hong Kong.

    This has prompted producers to begin planning for a third film, with intentions to bring back director Wilson Yip and producer Raymond Wong.

    It is believed that Wilson has his eyes on Jay.

    Kungfu star Bruce Lee is the most famous disciple of Ip Man and was slated to be featured prominently in Ip Man 2, but eventually only makes a cameo in the form of a boy.

    His relationship with an aging Ip Man will now be explored in the third film instead of the second.

    Whatever the plan is, things might have to go on hold though.

    Raymond seems hesitant to jump onboard a new project. "I prefer to not have [a third film] this year or next. There are so many movies related to Ip Man now (there are also Wong Kar Wai's The Grand Master and Herman Yau's The Legend is Born: Ip Man). Let's wait for this saturation to pass."

    Even lead actor Donnie Yen dismissed another quick sequel. "Let's wait for the script. Also, if Jay Chou is acting as Bruce Lee, I would need half a year to train him for his kungfu to look convincing."

    Thanks for the link...great movie

    I hope its not Jay, but someone who actually knows martial arts acting as bruce lee.

    Donnie Yen is the action star, maybe he should act as bruce lee and some random old guy as ip man

    I don't think Bruce Lee was even Bruce Lee... To have a younger version of Lee in a film will be kind of a fresh take compared to all the Bruceploitation flicks we've seen over the years.....

    When I first saw it, after realizing at the end that this was based on a true story of Bruce Lee's teacher, I thought most of this couldn't be real.

    Do you have any idea which parts were real tho?
