He taught peace. But this time, his fists must speak again.

In this epic martial arts finale, Grandmaster Ip Man (Donnie Yen) finds himself drawn into one final conflict—one that stretches from Hong Kong to the heart of America’s underground fight scene. What begins as a mission to protect his legacy becomes a test of honor, identity, and the enduring spirit of kung fu.

When an international fight syndicate begins exploiting Chinese martial artists, Ip Man is called out of seclusion. Alongside old ally Master Liu (Jackie Chan), a graceful yet fierce opera-fighter, he confronts the brutal world of illegal combat. Standing in their way are two formidable foes: Colt McGraw (Dwayne Johnson), a former Marine turned ruthless promoter, and Damien Shaw (Scott Adkins), a hardened warrior seeking vengeance after past defeat.

Ip Man 5 blends masterful fight choreography with emotional resonance. The film explores generational legacy, the commercialization of martial arts, and the quiet strength found in humility.

With Wilson Yip’s signature precision, this final chapter offers breathtaking battles, spiritual introspection, and unexpected moments of grace. Jackie Chan’s elegance, Adkins’ intensity, and Johnson’s towering presence make this a global clash of philosophies and power.

Rating: 8.7/10 – A powerful, emotional conclusion to a legendary saga. Donnie Yen delivers one of his most restrained yet compelling performances, while the ensemble cast elevates the film into a worldwide martial arts event. It’s not just a fight — it’s a farewell.

“Kung fu isn’t for violence. It’s for peace. But peace must be defended.”
