With little means of providing for themselves, Ip Man and the remaining members of the city must find a way to survive.But when a vicious killer starts targeting martial arts masters, the instructor offers to help the police in return for his freedom.Trouble arises when a corrupt property developer and his thugs terrorize the school where Ip Mans son goes to.
Ip Man and his disciples have to help the police guard the school day and night. On the other hand, Ip Man has to deal with his wifes terminal sickness, and at the same time faces a challenge from another Wing Chun fighter who ambitiously seeks to claim the Wing Chun Grandmaster title. Lees instructor was Wong Shun Leung, himself a student of Yip Man. A letter from Lee to Wong expressed, Even though I am (technically) a student of Yip Man, in reality, I learned my Kung-fu from you. Wong was well-known for his participation in illegal underground martial arts competitions (beimo), where he was rumored to be undefeated. Wong retired from participating in these fights after accidentally blinding an opponent. Over the course of his lifetime, Yip probably had several students, some staying for a few months, others for longer, and other for maybe a few weeks. This explains the existence of people who claim lineage from Yip Man. See more. All three films chronicle the life of legendary grandmaster Yip Man (also known as Ip Man); who is famous for introducing the martial art Wing Chun, to China (and the world). This installment was once again directed by Wilson Yip (who also helmed both other movies); and it was written by Edmond Wong, Tai-Li Chan and Lai-yin Leung (Wong and Chan also co-wrote the first two flicks). Donnie Yen also returns to play the title role (for the third time). The movie also features Jin Zhang, Lynn Hung, Mike Tyson and Kwok-Kwan Chan (as Bruce Lee). Ip Man 3 With English Subtitles Series THE LEGENDChan also played Lee in the 2008 TV series THE LEGEND OF BRUCE LEE, and a 2010 film (of the same name). The story, this time, deals with a ruthless American property developer, named Frank (Tyson); whos trying to gain control of a Hong Kong school, in 1959, that Ip Mans son attends. He also must deal with his wife (Hung) becoming ill, with stomach cancer, and a new Wing Chun grandmaster challenger (Zhang). A young martial arts student, named Bruce Lee (Chan), also wants Ip to train him. The movie has some pretty impressive martial arts fight scenes; I also especially enjoyed the battle between Donnie Yen and Mike Tyson. Tyson actually makes a good menacing villain; considering he didnt have to say much (that was a very wise move, of the filmmakers). Other than the action, the movie doesnt have a lot to offer; I dont feel like I actually learned much about Ip Man, and the story is kind of a mess.
