Despite being one of the most iconic martial arts movie stars in history, Bruce Lee is unfortunately not in any entries of the Ip Man saga. While it may seem like he should be, Bruce Lee was an actor who never got the chance to portray Ip Man on screen due to his untimely death. Instead, Donnie Yen plays Ip Man in all four movies. It is fitting then that the action-packed saga pays homage to Bruce Lee by featuring each of his real-life children as actors with some even playing characters inspired by Bruce Lee himself.
