What's left behind the scenes

  • The film was shot in Shanghai, where the architecture of Foshan in the 1930s was recreated.
  • Modern Foshan architecture differs from its architecture in the 1930s, so the decision was made to film in Shanghai, in one of the industrial areas. A cotton mill was recreated by designers from an abandoned warehouse in just a few weeks. It was at this cotton mill, founded in 1930 by a friend of Ip Man, that the famous master first began openly teaching the Wing Chun martial art.
  • Ip Chun, son of Ip Man, provided consultation on biography and fight choreography.

  • During a fight scene, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi (who played the Japanese warlord) received four consecutive blows and suffered a mild concussion.
  • It is said that during the rehearsal of one of the fight scenes, Donnie Yen received a glancing blow with an axe on set. In addition, a masseur was constantly on standby on set, as Yen had problems with his right shoulder due to an old injury.
  • Donnie Yen is a master of various martial arts styles, including Wing Chun, which he studied under Ip Chun, the eldest son of Ip Man.
  • The first film about Ip Man was made, although the idea of filming a biographical film about him had been around for three decades. It was originally intended that Donnie Yen would play the role of Ip Man in the first biopic, and work on the film was supposed to begin in 1997. Stephen Chow was to play the role of the adult Bruce Lee. Work on this film was halted after the first day of shooting.
  • On the 86th minute of the film, Ip Man gives Yuan an iron box and leaves while he opens it. The next shot shows Yuan opening the box again.
