Ip Man 4 (or Ip Man 4: The Finale), is a 2019 Hong Kong martial arts movie, the third sequel to Ip Man, the fifth film in the Ip Man film series and the Grand Finale of the mainline films, starring Donnie Yen once again in the title role.Ip Man goes to San Francisco at the invitation of one of his students, Lee Jun-fan "Siu Lung" (now called Bruce Lee), who has upset the local martial arts community and Chinatown leadership - the Chinese Benevolent Association (CBA) - by opening a Wing Chun school that accepts non-Chinese. While there, he attempts to find a school that will accept his recently-expelled son, a matter complicated by his guilt by association with Bruce. They also come to fight for the honor and respect of their martial art once again, this time against a local US military figure, Marine Gunnery Sgt Barton Geddes (Scott Adkins).The film was released on December 20, 2019.Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, Final Trailer. | |

Dirty Coward: Becky was only able to beat up Yonah because she had her boyfriend's gang to back her up, but once Ip Man shows up and effortlessly defeats her boyfriend's gang, she immediately retreats with the gang. | |

Artistic License – Martial Arts | |
Ip Man 4 / int_141f6a73 | comment |
Artistic License – Martial Arts: The film features a faithful recreation of Lee's famous demonstration of his one-inch punch in 1964, with the almost insignificant detail that the strike Lee's actor does in the scene is not an one-inch strike at all, but a punch torqued from the hip at almost the entire arm's length, which is rather the technique's complete opposite in concept and execution. Oddly, the big karateka Lee fights in the street wears a judo gi. You can note it not only on how thick the fabric is, as those are designed to be pulled around without ripping, but also on the color, as blue gis are also much more common in judo than karate, existing basically to tell apart every fighter's bodies and limbs during close grappling exchanges. | |

Ip Man 4 / int_23330a99 | comment |
Immediate Self-Contradiction: When punishing a black soldier, Geddes claims not to be a racist... only for him to use a racial insult on the soldier immediately afterwards. Given that later in the film Geddes has no problem giving openly a long racist lecture, this instance was possibly just a sick joke. | |

Ip Man 4 / int_2c628d38 | comment |
Worf Had the Flu: Ip Man is essentially both sick and injured throughout the film. Not only does he have throat cancer from smoking but he's also sporting an injured wrist for most of the movie through defending Yonah from a gang that Geddes later tries to take advantage of. However, it doesn't slow him down as a fighter much, as he's still able to go for the entire film. It's only after eight years later that Ip Man finally succumbs to the cancer. | |

Rank Scales with Asskicking: Geddes is inevitably the best fighter Ip has to face, even more so than Frater, the designated karate instructor reporting to him. Every board member of the Chinese Benevolent Association is a master of some kung fu style, but Master Wan, as head of the CBA, does better against Geddes than any of his cohorts. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The film concludes the series with Ip Man dying from his throat cancer, but before his death Ip leaves behind a remarkable legacy: He contributed to the Chinese in the United States being accepted, as symbolized by the Marines accepting Chinese Kung Fu teachers into their training regimen and Bruce Lee being allowed to teach non-chinese Kung Fu. Ip's son also reconciles with his father and learns martial arts from him, and with Ip's school remaining steady, Wing Chun will remain a prominent art in Chinese for the years to come. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Despite taking place in San Francisco, much of the movie was filmed in the UK and it shows. All of the white American characters that speak use various English accents. The only actor who uses an American accent is Scott Adkins, who is likely the only actor who has had to use it in the past. | |

The way Bruce taunts the karatekas, by pointing a finger to two of them and turning it into a Bring It, is the same taunt he does in the dojo in Fist of Fury. He also takes on a challenger in a fight clearly intended to evoke the nunchuks vs katana fight in the same film, albeit with a metal rod in place of the katana and the nunchuks wrested from the challenger. | |

Hates Their Parent: Ip Ching blames his father for the death of his mother which earns him a slap from him. However he was able to make up with his father after hearing about his condition. Yonah resents her father for not taking her own interests to heart and his mindset of knowing what's best for his daughter because he is the parent. She makes up with him, however, before the Marines take him into custody. | |

Ip Man 4 / int_6375f746 | comment |
Drill Sergeant Nasty: Gunnery Sgt Barton Geddes portrays quite the negative stereotype of one; he constantly belittles the recruits under him (especially non-white ones), shows very little respect for even his own peers just below his rank and does not hesitate to wake, then assemble his trainees in the middle of the night just to get them to watch him prove his point about their superior martial arts. | |

Artistic License – Military | |
Ip Man 4 / int_6eb4e408 | comment |
Artistic License – Military: Gunnery Sergeant Geddes seemingly wields a lot more power than an ordinary Marine Drill Instructor would. He has quite the final say on whether the local Marine Corps base can or will adopt another form of martial arts into their training program. He also manages to transfer criminal custody of a suspect being detained by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service to the Marine Corps, despite being under two different justice systems (military and federal), although he did have to personally threaten Walters to get him to hand over Master Wan. After his earlier attempts to convince his direct superiors on integrating Chinese martial arts into Marine training fails, a Staff Sergeant (OR-6) Hartman massively goes over his superiors' heads, seemingly straight to a General (OF-9) to propose the idea to him. Not only is this a serious disregard of the chain of command, something as trivial as showing of a different type of martial arts is something most Generals, let alone junior officers, wouldn't bother with compared to other more pressing matters in their respective stations. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain: Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy Frater insults Chinese people living in San Francisco with "yellow bitches". Sergeant Geddes, whose Motive Rant near the film's climax sees him wanting to weed out "inferior cultures" from the Marines. | |

Bond Villain Stupidity | |
Ip Man 4 / int_7570a10c | comment |
Bond Villain Stupidity: Geddes manages to land a massive throw on Ip Man and kick him a few times, leaving him temporarily out of commission... and then, instead of capitalizing on the advantage as he did against Wan, he steps back and starts taunting Ip with racist slurs, giving him time to recover and a reason to be fired up afterwards. When they re-engage, the tide turns predictably against Geddes, who this time does try to capitalize on another knockdown - only that it is useless now because Ip has a new strategy and is energized by the taunts. This eventually makes Geddes lose the fight. | |

Kick Them While They Are Down | |
Ip Man 4 / int_7ab81664 | comment |
Kick Them While They Are Down: All by Geddes. In the beginning Geddes insults a downed marine that was being held-locked from Frater by saying he hates "cowardly coloreds" while denying that he is a racist. Geddes goes well beyond excess to make a demonstration out of Chairman Wan after he loses their bout, hospitalizing him with a shattered kneecap and a broken arm. When Geddes had Ip Man on the floor during the fight, he insults him by calling a little yellow chink. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: As well-intentioned as he was in standing up for his culture, Hartman going over Geddes's head to push kung fu into the Marine curriculum is what caused most of the the film's problems and spurs Geddes to first send Frater to make trouble in Chinatown, and later to enter the fray himself when that wasn't enough. | |

Ip Man 4 / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: Geddes' main assets, aside from his athleticism, are his great toughness and ability to recover. This is demonstrated in his duel with Wan, as the Chinese master knocks Geddes down six times with apparent ease, yet is ultimately unable to inflict any real damage on the American, who constantly springs up with more attacks of his own. Ip Man later bypasses this with the help of eye rakes and low blows, a kind of attack no amount of toughness can make you easily shrug off. | |

Weak, but Skilled: When Masters Chiu, Chiang and Wan fight their younger, stronger opponents, they are able to fight more or less evenly and even land multiple blows by using their experience and speed to their advantage, but when they try to meet the Americans' blows strength to strength, they are quickly overpowered. Even Ip Man, who can inflict more hits than any other kung fu master, has to either get in a large volume of strikes or several crippling ones like one-inch punches or groin and throat strikes to incapacitate the larger marines rather than through pure strength alone. | |

Evil Virtues: Geddes is an irrational racist, but whenever he gets in a martial arts fight, his determination rivals that of your average Stock Shōnen Hero. He gets thrown down not less than six times by Wan, whom by this point makes it look like Geddes is absolutely no match for him, yet the American keeps getting up every time and pressing action, and it almost feels earned when the tide starts eventually turning to his favor. | |

Homage: The way Bruce taunts the karatekas, by pointing a finger to two of them and turning it into a Bring It, is the same taunt he does in the dojo in Fist of Fury. He also takes on a challenger in a fight clearly intended to evoke the nunchuks vs katana fight in the same film, albeit with a metal rod in place of the katana and the nunchuks wrested from the challenger. His retort to the challenger's posturing in the same scene ("The door won't fight back") also evokes the famous line "boards don't hit back" from Enter the Dragon. | |

Language Barrier: In the beginning, one of Bruce Lee's students named Billy travels from San Francisco to China and visits Ip Man's dojo to deliver an invitation to attend a tournament Lee is participating in. The problem is that Billy only speaks English and Ip Man's students only speak Chinese, so this eventually leads to a misunderstanding and a fight. It isn't until Ip Man, who can speak English, shows up that the misunderstanding is cleared up. | |

Curb Stomp Cushion: Bruce Lee handily defeats his challengers, but the last one manages to slightly injure his arm and get in a shoulder throw on him. Though Geddes brutalizes and eventually knocks out Master Wan, the tai chi master manages to throw Geddes several times, is shown to be the more skilled fighter between the 2 with Geddes not getting any hits in when he was fresh, and generally gives tai chi a respectable treatment in the process. | |

Shout-Out: Possibly with Barton Geddes, a western hand-to-hand instructor who uses a Japanese martial art like karate. This echoes Edward Barton-Wright, a little known western hand-to-hand instructor who was one of the main popularizers of Japanese judo and jujutsu in Europe (and created the style known as Bartitsu), which would make Geddes a sort of anachronistic Evil Counterpart to him. | |

Gunnery Sergeant Geddes seemingly wields a lot more power than an ordinary Marine Drill Instructor would. He has quite the final say on whether the local Marine Corps base can or will adopt another form of martial arts into their training program. He also manages to transfer criminal custody of a suspect being detained by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service to the Marine Corps, despite being under two different justice systems (military and federal), although he did have to personally threaten Walters to get him to hand over Master Wan. | |

Would Hit a Girl: Becky's boyfriend and his gang don't hesitate to hit Yonah several times and even attempt to crush her with a gate before Ip Man intervenes. Colin Frater does not hesitate to fight the female Chinese Master Chiang, and makes it clear that he won't show her mercy. | |

Ip Man 4 / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Barton Geddes is blatantly racist and brutal even to defeated enemies, and doesn't get so much as a Pet the Dog moment or other non-martial redeeming quality to offset this. | |
