FILM 1176: IP MAN
TRIVIA: Although not mentioned in
the film Grandmaster Yip Man was actually employed as a police officer during
the Japanese invasion.
Although it's the first film
centering around Yip Man, the idea of doing a Yip Man biopic have been
conceived for as long as 30 years. Donnie Yen
was actually slated to play Yip Man in the supposed first biopic that was about
to go into production in 1997. The film would've also featured Stephen Chow playing an
adult Bruce Lee. However, only
one day of shooting took place before the project was canceled.
