THE GRANDMASTER is a Chinese film, with English subtitles, based on the life of martial arts expert Ip Man.
- Violence
Several long fight martial arts fight scenes, featuring numerous blows and kicks, as well as occasional stronger detail such as a man's leg snapping and a woman coughing up blood after a fight. One of the martial artists uses a cutthroat razor as a weapon, but there is no detail of wounds inflicted with this. One of the strongest moments features a man kneeling on the ground and being executed with a gun, with a spurt of blood from the back of his head.
There is also one use of strong language ('f**cker') in the subtitles, and a scene of a woman smoking an opium pipe.
