There is some wire work, but the fights are awesome. Also, there are parts where the moves are not all Wing Chun, but I guess it need to be flashy for film.
There is one scene that I heard the real Yip Man did. He broke a gun with his hands. Anyways, it is a good movie and worth checking out for the fight scenes alone. .

Yeah, this movie is utterly historically inaccurate. It's such a nice story about his family but didn't the real Yip Man
abandon his family when he fled to Hong Kong?
Gotta love these movies where everybody including the Japanese generals turn out to be martial arts masters.
