I really enjoyed IP Man 2 for the one dimensional portrayal of the British antagonists. Disclaimer: I’m from the colonies.

Are the "Ip Man" films supposed to be based on this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ip_Man ?

The few clips I have seen seem to have no relation to the life of the historical figure whatsoever. It is so disappointing when they make a film with a real historical figure and then distort their story out of all recognition (e.g. "Dragon" for Bruce Lee and "Imitation game" for Alan Turing).

Yes.

The films are mostly entertainment only - only the facts have been changed.

The movies are hilariously sinocentric, but enjoyable for what they are. Much the same as plenty of US movies being sickeningly rah-rah the USA.
