Leading man Yen was in Singapore in early December to promote the movie. He unveiled the Ip Man Pavilion exhibition at Our Tampines Hub and also attended the gala premiere of the film on Dec 10.
The pavilion is open to the public until Jan 6 and features several iconic scenes from the previous three films. These include Ip Man’s living room with the wooden dummy and furniture, and the big round table from the sparring scene in Ip Man 2.
In this final instalment, the Wing Chun master moves to the US in order to look for a suitable school for his son Ip Chan. There, he faces opposition and discrimination from several fronts, including from a tai chi master called Wan.
