They say “ask and you shall receive”…
I opined on some thoughts back in Fall of 2013 over whether or not we deserved more Undisputed films shepherded by action star Scott Adkins at a time when fans were pining for a fourth stint at Boyka fanfare. My diatribe included a nod to the prospects of seeing the British cult film star join forces with the likes of Asian action film favorite, Donnie Yen, and in the time since then, they’ve teased a little here and there…
And that was it by the time cameras rolled for the now fourth and final entry in Yen’s longstanding hit kung fu franchise exploring the life, times, mythological action and splendor of the Wing Chun master who would tend to his greatest-achieving student, Bruce Lee. Mandarin Motion Pictures will be obliging fans beginning this summer with a date pending.
Ip Man (Donnie Yen) has been living a peaceful life teaching Wing Chun. One of Ip’s students, Bruce Lee decides to open a Wing Chun school in the States. The local Kung Fu masters are not happy about it. Ip goes to the States and helps Lee to resolve the problems. Meanwhile, Ip also teaches Lee how to become a real Wing Chun master. Ip gains respect from China town and all across the States. He spreads the theory of Chinese Kung Fu to society and makes it popular in the world…
Ip Man 4: The Finale garnered a whole bunch of buzz on Monday kicking off this year’s FilMart in Hong Kong where the trailer was unveiled. Yen showcased the first official one-sheet on Instagram, and with images set forth on display highlighting select shots from the film which you can view below.
