Seriously, though, I've never yelled "Goddamn" out loud during a movie until I saw him snap that one guy's leg in half.

He had a starving family and starving neighbors. Like, wasn't that equally stupid and more morally dubious than when Cody refused his share of the money for rescuing Ellen in STREETS OF FIRE? Where does it rank on the scale of heartbreaking hardheadedness in the history of BADASS CINEMA's leading non-compensation-taking badasses?

I can't believe you didn't mention the brutality of the beatings Ip Man deals out in the later parts of the movie. He might be a real considerate guy most of the time, but he does not care so much about the feelings of the Japanese assholes he punches in the face and chest 147 times each. I like that he doesn't really want to hurt anybody, but once he decides that he has to, he gets it over with as decisively as possible. These are some of the most thorough ass-kickings I've ever witnessed. Nobody gets up after Ip Man lays hands on him. It's also awesome that people are always, at least in the DVD I have, referring to him as Uncle Man. I want there to be a superhero called Uncleman who will always hook you up with beer, porn, or the keys to his Trans Am in your time of need. Just watched this. Awesome flick.

Vern you should check out Donnie Yen/ Wilson Yip's Flashpoint as well. (I found it to be amazingly badass). Ip Man was completely superb.
