Colin Frater is the secondary antagonist of the 2019 film, Ip Man 4: The Finale, the fourth and final installment in the Ip Man film series. He is a US Marine Corps karate instructor & a 4th-dan black belt in Kyokutan Karate.
He was portrayed by actor and martial artist Chris Collins.
Biography[]
Colin first appears sitting in a karate tournament in which Bruce Lee is participating in. He tells his fellow fighter that Bruce's fighting demonstration is a fixed match & is a phony.
Later, he is seen training a Black Marine Corps Troop (in which the troop surrenders & the gunny berates him) until Hartman Wu, a Staff Sergeant in the United States Marines & student of Bruce Lee, attempts to convince the Gunnery Sergeant to incorporate Chinese martial arts into their hand-to-hand combat training. Geddes agrees to do so if Hartman can beat Colin in a fight, but Colin easily manages to best Hartman.
Hartman later manages to convince the Commanding Officer to do the same and is instructed to film the Mid-Autumn Festival for research, which upsets Geddes. Geddes shows up by interrupting a training session & he privately tells Frater about what Hartman did. Geddes then instructs him to challenge all of the Chinese martial artists at the Festival. He does so by easily besting 3 grandmasters until Ip Man interferes & easily bests him. His students then carry him off the stage.
He was last seen in the Marine Corps Hospital with a broken rib with Geddes storming off seeking vengeance.
It's unknown what happened to Collin afterwards, but it's safe to assume he got fired & dishonorably discharged, just like Geddes.
Personality[]
Frater taunting Master Law, whom he easily managed to defeat.
Frater, like his superior, share the same overly proud & openly racist behaviors against the Chinese-Americans living in San Francisco & like the Gunny; he too believes that Karate is superior to Chinese martial arts, & when asked to go to Chinatown & openly challenge all of the Chinese martial artists there, he is happy to oblige.
He is extremely confident & proud of his Karate skills, repeatedly taunting Chinese martial artists with racial & xenophobic slurs. Having bested Hartman & even three Chinese martial arts masters, he arrogantly challenges Ip Man to a fight, only to be badly beaten & defeated with relative ease.
Powers and Abilities[]
Karate mastery: Frater is very strong & proficient in karate. His combat skills are so advanced & powerful that he manage to defeat Master Law, Master Chiu, & Master Chiang. He also manage to fight Master Ip landing a few blows & knocking Ip off his feet, although he was easily bested by Ip Man after he swept Frater off his feet.
Trivia[]
- Despite both having villainous roles, Sensei Garmadon is more responsible compared to Sensei Frater when it comes to training pupils. Either way, he is the synonym of Sensei Yang.
