** Despite what the film implies, UsefulNotes/{{Karate}} was not as patriotic or culturally representative to Japan as UsefulNotes/WingChun was to China at the time of the setting, and in fact was considered somewhat of a foreign curiosity due to its Okinawan origin. Instead, it would have been more accurate to portray the Japanese soldiers as practitioners of UsefulNotes/{{Judo}} or jujutsu, which were the "official" martial arts of the Japanese imperial military. However, as fans of UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts will know, the resultant fighting scenes would have been vastly different from the final product and would have not resembled your classic martial arts flick, so it can be taken as AcceptableBreaksFromReality in order to allow for more conventional, kick-to-kick fighting scenes.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: General Miura throws down with three guys in his first appearance and takes them down without much fuss. Ultimately he is the only one who actually manages to land some real hits on Ip Man.
* BackstabBackfire: See InTheBack.
