With each new school, the master will pay their respects to Ip Man and to challenge him to a duel. In this bio-pic, Ip Man, one of the earliest Wing Chun martial arts exponents credited to have propagated its popularity, gets portrayed as the best of the best in 1930s Fo Shan, China, where the bustling city has its own Martial Arts Street where countless of martial arts schools have set up shop to fuel the craze of kung fu training. And thank goodness for Donnie Yen still being around to pick up from where the genre left off, and presenting a memorable role which he truly owned, with Ip Man being the first cinematic rendition of the Wing Chun martial arts grandmaster. While Li lays claim to three of such roles in the iconic Wong Fei Hung (in the Tsui Hark movies), Fong Sai Yuk and Huo Yuan Jia in Fearless, after which he felt he had to hang up his martial arts roles because he thought that he had communicated all that he wanted about martial arts through these films.
Only the interviews are worth watching.Īudio Format: DTS:X/DTS-HD Master Audio 7.It's been some time since we last saw a biopic on one of the Chinese's martial arts folk heroes, with Jet Li's Fearless being the last memorable one to hit the big screen. There’s a two-part making-of that clocks in at barely over three minutes, interviews with Yen, Tyson, Yen and Tyson together on press day, and the director, Wilson Yip, which add up to nearly 30 minutes altogether, a two-minute behind-the-scenes featurette, and three theatrical trailers. The extras on Ip Man 3 feel like afterthoughts, though they are all in HD.
Those additional channels don’t add much in this instance. While the mix is certainly exciting in the sense that the fight sequences are aggressively mixed with deep low end and lots of discrete panning through the room of body blows and other Foley effects, it didn’t really necessitate being a DTS:X track. This release gets a Cantonese DTS:X audio track with English subtitles (English, French, and Spanish DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 tracks are also included). Detail is sharp and extends well into the backgrounds. Other problems like video noise and edge enhancement are nonissues. It is a generally pleasing transfer with excellent color and contrast, but there are some issues with banding that may be inherent to the digital source.

Ip Man 3 is an HD production shot on the Arri Alexa XT Plus that arrives on Blu-ray in an AVC 1080p encode from Well Go USA. Despite the campy performance and Tyson’s dubious Cantonese, the ultimate showdown between Yen and Tyson is pure, campy, over-the-top grindhouse action. This time they truly are spectacular, with action director Yuen Yoo Ping (The Matrix, Kill Bill) bringing the stunts. The film doesn’t flow smoothly, but with Ip Man, the best bits are always in the awesome action sequences. The last act of the film has Ip Man and his wife dealing with personal tragedy while Ip Man is also issued a challenge by another wing chun master (Zhang Jin) who wants to claim Ip Man’s title of grand master. In the first two acts of the film, Ip Man (Yen) is drawn into a brutal conflict when underhanded property developer Frank (Tyson) sends his goons to pressure a local school into selling their property. As with the previous films, international star Donnie Yen returns to the role as wing chun legend Ip Man, and the film also, questionably, brings Mike Tyson on board as a ruthless and violent American real estate developer. Director Wilson Yip returns to helm the third and ostensibly final installment in the Ip Man saga with Ip Man 3.
