If you loved Ip Man, try SPL: Kill Zone

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. SPL: Kill Zone has roughly 11.5× fewer votes than Ip Man — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Wilson Yip, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ip Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What SPL: Kill Zone is

Hong Kong. Rain slicked streets. A child's drawing. Detective Chan hunts triad boss Po, a cold-blooded killer who executes witnesses. Soon, martial-arts master Ma arrives, ready to replace the obsessed, veteran cop. Wilson Yip's brutal action film delivers bone-crunching fights.
