But the dramatic meat is Master Ip and his family. That plot leads to some great fights, the Mike Tyson fight but also the scene in the elevator is some of the best action in the entire series. Ip Man 3 is when things start to become a bit "cartoonish." While anchoring the film in the late 1950s era where property values, development, and gentrification were pushing lower-income and working-class individuals out of their homes, this film also stars Mike Tyson as the strong arm gangster developer willing to do anything to steal property out from under the locals. In many ways, it rehashes events of the first film but does so in an exciting way that makes it worth a watch.

And this time out it dawned on me how much like Rocky 2 this movie is… and then Rocky IV. My most recent viewing was much more rewarding as I found his story of trying to raise a family and deal with economic hardship much more personally relatable.
My first time out with this film I enjoyed it, the fight choreography only gets better with each film, but I didn't love it. Not only is he having to try and build his school during a depressed economy, but he faces backlash from other martial arts instructors who don't want him teaching Wing Chun. But new students don't always mean a steady paycheck. Poor without means and struggling to make ends meet, we see Master Ip desperately trying to raise his family while starting his school again. Ip Man 2 shifts focus to 1949 Hong Kong and the British control of the region. We the audience learn about these key events through his eyes, whether or not he lived them is irrelevant. Historical accuracy is a bit loose, some basic research punches holes in key events, but that's not really the point of this film - or the sequels. It remains a heck of a film with a big scope and set the template for the sequels to follow.
Of the four films, this one is the most dramatically pleasing with thoroughly explored character arcs with some amazing martial arts cinematography thrown in for good measure. But then his world is shattered with the start of WWII and the Japanese occupation of China and his refusal to train Japanese soldiers in Wing Chun.
The first time we meet Donnie Yen in Ip Man, he's young, rich, and established as a teacher respected in the community.

Instead, Wilson Yip and his various writers throughout the series based each film partly on historical facts about the man but also used his character as a lens through which to observe a turbulent world. And while Master Ip is most famous for this particular student, the series wisely didn't bench its entire focus on the eventual meeting and/or training of Bruce Lee. Only in Ip Man 3 and Ip Man 4 The Finale was Bruce ever personified and with appreciable vigor by Danny Kwok-Kwan Chan. The first film establishes that relationship in a photo montage epilogue in such a way to suggest there weren't originally going to be any sequels. Because the Lee family is notoriously protective of Bruce's likeness (except for crappy CGI whiskey commercials) the franchise - and the numerous other Master Ip films that came in the first decade of 2000 were all subject to approval - or simply skirted around that historical fact. When the Ip Man franchise began in 2008, it was amid a flurry of other films about Wing Chun Grandmaster Ip Man and his relationship with martial arts mega-star Bruce Lee.
