Ip Man 5

Donnie Yen & Jackie Chan

In the epic return of martial arts cinema, Ip Man 5 unites two legends—Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan—for the first time in the franchise’s history. Set in 1970s Hong Kong, the story follows Master Ip as he attempts to preserve traditional Wing Chun amidst rising political tension and the rise of brutal underground fighting rings. When a mysterious syndicate threatens the legacy of Chinese martial arts, Ip Man reluctantly joins forces with a retired kung fu master (Jackie Chan), now a humble opera teacher, to train a new generation of fighters.

As the villains escalate their campaign of destruction, the bond between old rivals turns into a brotherhood forged by honor and survival. The action choreography is electric—blending Wing Chun precision with Jackie Chan’s acrobatic flair. Their on-screen chemistry is magnetic, combining grace, emotion, and powerful storytelling.

With breathtaking duels, emotionally resonant moments, and a tribute to the cultural roots of kung fu, Ip Man 5 is a powerful conclusion to the saga, delivering nostalgia and innovation in equal measure.
