Ip Man: Legend is Born Blu-ray & DVD (Funimation)
RELEASE DATE: December 13, 2011
Ip Man: Legend is Born (aka The Legend is Born – Ip Man) is based on the teenage life of Wing Chun master Ip Man. Even though the film was openly marketed as a prequel (and sometimes as Ip Man 3) to the Donnie Yen/Wilson Yip movies, Ip Man: Legend is Born is not officially attached to those titles. Directed by Herman Yau (Untold Story) and starring Dennis To, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Fan Siu-wong and Ip Chun, real life son of Ip Man.
this is a pretty good entry to the ip man series and features excellent performances by sammo hung and yuen biao and dennis to is pretty good for a new comer and being a previous wing chun practitioner and champion brings a good quality to the character of ip man and the story is even more thrilling with the idea of nationalism invasion and the mild love story all mixed in one that makes this ip man entertaining not perfect in every sense but nonetheless entertain
