I've had this movie for 10 years, I finally sat down to watch it.

It's about this legendary martial artist during japan's occupation of china.

I have the entire series but just watched the first one

I watched this movie with some online friends through some means that meant I never saw a cover. I was absolutely sure that it was going to be some kind of cyberpunk or hacker movie because the title was obviously IP Man.

It was still great tho

I enjoyed all of them, but the first two were definitely the best. This usually isn't really my thing either.

Ip Man is great. I personally would rank the series as:

1>3>Master Z>4>2.

I just wanna see a kung fu movie where a BJJ practitioner comes in and beats up everyone because kung fu is dumb and not competitive with other forms of marital arts.

Yes, it's an umbrella of many styles. None of witch are competitive in mixed martial arts matches which goes to show that they all are inferior.

I was thinking what I'd do is watch one movie from the series every week or so, to really absorb each one. I was already a fan of donnie yen and had a feeling I'd like him

Wont look as cool tho imo
Also would be bad against groups of ppl srs. Not saying that kung fu is effective IRL but legitimate disciplines of striking should be more effective against a group of ppl than grappling based on videos of people slugging their way against a crowd.

Keep in mind they really devolve into Chinese propaganda as they keep going.

Even the first one is only 'based on a true story' in the sense that there was a martial artist named Ip Man that was in territory that was occupied by the Japanese during the war. None of the 'resisting the japanese with kung fu' plotline actually happened.

Which ones the one with the hilariously over-the-top racist Murican soldier villain?

I thought that one was funny. In general theyre pretty great martial arts movies.

Honestly, when watching the movie I was wondering if they were gonna do that, but it's still not as egregious as say, Rocky 4 and Rocky ending the cold war in a boxing fight

That makes me wonder. Not sure if Spoiler but are all 4 movies based on a true story or does it just go into fanfic territory later on?

yeah 4 is definitely the worst one. the way it tries to show kung fu as "competitive" with other martial arts is super weird. like if the one karate dude can beat up all these highly skilled kung fu masters, and only one of them can beat him, doesn't that necessarily show that kung fu is less well-suited than karate for actual combat?
