Netflix - IP Man Movies

Anyone watched the four IP Man movies on Netflix? Just finished watching these four movies about the Kung Fu Master IP, and thought it was really good. What an amazing man, teacher and fighter he was. I believe it's supposed to be a factual movie about his life, but many of the scenes had to be exaggerated.
IP Man was also Bruce Lee's Kung Fu Master, but Bruce Lee is mostly only shown in the 4th and final movie. Where Bruce Lee was very cocky and agressive, Master IP had a humble, less vocal demeanor and was likely the best Kung Fu master and fighter ever if the movie is mostly true.
The first movie is in Chinese with English subtitles, and movies 2 through 4 can be watched dubbed in English if you prefer.

I got into a fight with Ip Man once. It's a long story and I don't feel like going into all of it. Let's just say that there was a girl involved and plenty of alcohol as well. We both ended up getting tossed out of the bar, but anybody there that night will tell you that I kicked Ip Man's arse.

I like the movies but you have to understand there is underlying communist propaganda in the films. Its very Chinese Nationalist portrayal of events and propaganda really ramps up in 2, 3 and 4. Still, I think they're very enjoyable.

Who do you think his toughest opponent was throughout the series?

My vote goes to IP Man versus Cheung Tin-Chi (at the end of IP Man 3)
This fight was a battle between the two best Wing Chun masters (both in very top form), switching off between punches, kicks and weapons throughout their lengthy fight. The fight had many very technical lightening fast exchanges between Cheung Tin-chi's supreme skills and IP Man's adapting form. This fight also introduced IP Man's legendary devastating one-inch punch.
Both fighters were continually just barely avoiding instant death throughout the fight.
