This whole Ip Man movie series is weird. There's Ip Man 1 and Ip Man 2 directed by Wilson Yip. There was initially supposed to be a third one to detail his relationship with Bruce Lee, but some of the players have said they don't want to make a 3rd, though Yip does.
Then there is
Grandmaster,
Ip Man: the Final Fight and
Ip Man: Birth of the Legend, all of which are biopics by two different directors. Really weird, because all of these came out within a few years of each other (from like 2008-2013).
On top of all of that, there is overlap in the actors between the franchises, but they play different characters in the different franchises.
Anyway I think I'll probably watch Birth of the Legend, because I'm curious about his life prior to when we meet him in Ip Man 1.
Edit: I could be totally wrong about the summary above, but I got curious and that's what about 10 minutes of researching on the internet yielded.
