Hong Kong action cinema’s lasting legacy will forever be indebted to the greatness left after the passing of the legendary action hero, Bruce Lee. And we have none other to thank than the man who helped formulate the pre-requisite of Lee’s martial arts greatness, the late Grandmaster Ip Man, whose story and image have launched a whole new wave of mainstream appreciation in the eyes of martial arts cinema fans everywhere, having been adapted to the big and small screens in various installments, especially film, including Ip Man:The Final Fight.
The film is scheduled to play on Wednesday July 31, 2013 at the Fantasia Film Festival, one of several screenings it has already had during its film festival run this year until its selected North American theatrical release on September 20, 2013, courtesy of Well Go USA. So, if you have subscribed to the official Film Combat Syndicate Facebook page and you already saw the film, or if you are attending the festival on Wednesday, feel free to comment on our page and let us know what you think of director Herman Yau‘s latest biopictoral contribution to the life and legend of the Wing Chun master.
Ip Man: The Final Fight stars Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang, Jordan Chan, Gillian Chung, Marvel Chow, Anita Yuen, Xiong Xin-Xin and Wong Cho-Lam, with action choreography by Nicky Li and Checkley Sin who also produced the film with Albert Lee and Albert Yeung.
In postwar Hong Kong, legendary Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man is reluctantly called into action once more. What began as simple challenges from rival kung fu schools soon finds him drawn into the dark and dangerous underworld of the Triads. Now, to defend life and honor, Ip Man has no choice but to fight – one last time.
