Behind every great man there lies a teacher, and this was certainly true of Bruce Lee, who claimed as his
mentor a martial arts expert named Ip Man (1893-1972). A genius of Wushu (or the Chinese martial arts
school), Ip Man grew up in a China nearly ripped to pieces by racial hatred, nationalistic strife, and
warfare. He rose like a phoenix above these ashes, however, courtesy of his participation in matches
against various Wushu masters and kung fu warriors -- ultimately training martial arts icons such as
Lee. This biopic from director Wilson Yip dramatizes Ip's life story.

The earlier DVDR releases by DoR2 and then propered by VoMiT were from the R3 retail DVDs.

Removed were the English and Mandarin audio tracks, and an incomplete English sub track (keeping the complete
English sub track). I didn't like the subtitle font so the subs were redone. Removed were trailers and
previews. Kept were:

* MAKING OF DOCU (18:32@2095)
* DELETED SCENES:
* CHUN'S VISIT (0:57@2200)
* NORTHERN ACCENT (1:34@1592)
* GET THE TRAITOR (0:48@4825)
