@carlsontsang When Master Yip filmed this footage, he was very old and sick, yet he still insisted to record these techniques so people can learn from it after his passing. And 16 days after the filming finished, he passed away. (I just learned this from a newspaper)
By the way, I'm NOT a Wing Chun practitioner, though I like the concepts of JKD.

@seconds2death The movie was a true story, and that would be to cool to just make like that.

@seconds2death No ahah that is just for the movies purposes nothing in the first movie actually happened besides having a son. The rest is scriptwriting.

@seconds2death At the age of 19 japanese invaded china,so that would be impressive if he fought ten men
-
@seconds2death yes he did

No. It never happened. The movie is loosely based on incidents from Ip Man's life. Apparently the Japanese did ask him (a few times) to train their forces, but he declined. The book 'Ip Man, Portrait of a Kung Fu Master' by his (second) son Ip Ching is very brief, but might be one of the best sources for accurate information.

@seconds2death it's theoretically possible to handle that number of opponents with (sifu standard) mastery of the three open hand forms. Did it ever happen? perhaps only the Wing Chun clan knows. I can visualise how it would happen.
did he really beat up 10 black belts at once?? please somebody tell me

@seconds2death Probally, but not at the same time.

Yip Man didn't actually insist on have the footage taken. His students insisted he do it so the knowlegde wouldn't be lost. Every other time anyone had tried or requested he do this, he refused. He only accept to do all the forms on video because he was about to die from cancer.
