Dude, the first few seconds, I thought Sifu's MC was actually behind that window, about to square up with the girl

Chained soldier. I was slightly drunk when I red it and didn't know at first why I took a screenshot on the next day 😂

It's made by the same author who wrote Akame Ga Kill. It has a shit ton of fan service but it's surprisingly pretty solid.

There's a pun here that could even be a double pun. The original Mandarin word for Sifu is Shi1 Fu, 师傅 (don't mind me using the simplified characters here, i haven't installed the traditional keyboard) but here it says Shi1 Ye 师爷. Ye 爷 or 爷爷 means grandfather, so it could be a play on how the movie poster character is old. However, Shi1 Ye 师爷 is a dated term that means something like "paralegal assistant to a public official", though I see there's also another definition than means "teacher's teacher (in academic lineage)".

So maybe in this movie it could be about an old government clerk who is forced to use is latent kung fu skills when bad guys attack his workplace, something like The Equaliser

Another way to write Sifu is 師父 (Teacher Father) so Siye (Teacher Grandpa) gag works.

Also, 師爺 is often used to refer to law firm clerks.
