| Historical Fact | Film Portrayal | |----------------|----------------| | Ip Man was a wealthy merchant’s son, rarely impoverished. | Depicted as struggling but dignified under Japanese occupation. | | He never fought ten Japanese black belts simultaneously. | Iconic “ten vs. one” scene in Ip Man (2008). | | His relationship with Bruce Lee was brief and late in life. | Made central to Ip Man 3 and Ip Man 4. | | He died peacefully in Hong Kong. | Dramatized with cancer and foreign antagonists. |

Yen has stated that at 56, he could not physically do Ip Man 4 again. The collection captures him at his peak (2008-2015) and his graceful decline (2019). The fight in the Marine Corps office against Scott Adkins is a masterclass in pacing—old, sick Ip Man using strategy over speed.
