Here's a little review I found online.
Ip Man is a 2008 Hong Kong martial arts semi-biographical film that is based on the life of Ip Man, the celebrated martial arts master of Bruce Lee, and the first to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun openly. The film focuses on events surrounding Ip Man that took place in the city of Foushan in China between the 1930s to 1940s during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
Ip Man is the first film to be based on the life of the martial artist rather than the martial art itself. The producer Raymond Wong developed this film with full consent from Ip's sons, and had filmmakers head to Foushan, to research Master Ip Man's life. Ip Chun, Ip Man's eldest son, served as a consultant for the film.
Ip Man was released in Hong Kong on 18 December 2008, receiving widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences. Following its critical and commercial success, Ip Man was nominated for 12 Hong Kong Film Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director.

Here's one of the fight scenes from the movie. Pretty awesome.
What would you do if you were the last man standing in that fight?
