Ip Man is back to fight for China inIp Man 4, which takes the legendary Wing Chun master across the world. The biographical action flick starring Donnie Yen brings the saga to a close as the martial arts master faces off another blustering American fighter, played confusingly by British actorScott Adkins. There’s moreDanny Chanas Bruce Lee in this movie too, with the uncanny lookalike reprising his role fromIp Man 3.
After years of Yen being reportedly reluctant to return to the role that he originated in 2008,Ip Man 4looks to be a worthy send-off of the character — though the franchise can presumably live on in dynamic spin-offs likeMaster Z: Ip Man Legacy. Where else can we get our nationalistic martial arts movies where China proves its superiority through bombastic showdowns? But it is a little bittersweet to see Yen leave the role that was so perfectly suited to him.
Directed byWilson Yipand written byHiroshi Fukazawa,Ip Man 4also starsVanness Wu, Chris Collins,andWu Yue.
