SYNOPSIS
Donnie Yen ignites the screen in a return to his iconic role of Ip Man, the real-life Wing Chun Kung
Fu master who mentored Bruce Lee. In this explosive third installment of the blockbuster martial
arts series, when a band of brutal gangsters led by a crooked property developer (Mike Tyson) make
a play to take over the city, Master Ip is forced to take a stand. Fists will fly as some of the
most incredible fight scenes ever filmed, choreographed by the legendary Yuen Woo Ping (THE
MATRIX, KILL BILL), play out on the big screen in this soon-to-be classic of the genre.
PRODUCER RAYMOND WONG ON IP MAN 3’S BRUCE LEE CHARACTER
As a primary investor and the producer of IP MAN 3, Raymond Wong revealed developments on the
matter of a CG-enabled appearance of Bruce Lee on the big screen at a November 27 press conference
for the film in Hong Kong. According to Wong, the producing team had initially planned to use CG
techniques to enhance Danny Chan Kwok-kwan’s re-enactment, in order to “revive” Bruce Lee on the big
screen. Wong also acknowledged the common understanding regarding the Bruce Lee estate: all rights
are generally divided between his surviving brother, Robert Lee, for the work Bruce Lee completed before
his marriage; and the late Linda Lee Cadwell, Bruce Lee’s widow, for the work that Bruce Lee completed
after his marriage. In March 2015, Raymond Wong had successfully purchased the rights to use Bruce
Lee’s likeness from Robert Lee, and had also invited Lee as a consultant to attend the IP MAN 3 press
conference in Shanghai. After the announcement, Wong received word that the Bruce Lee Foundation
(which represents his Ms. Cadwell) would not approve of his project. “Bruce Lee remains to be Master Ip
Man’s most accomplished disciple, and it was my intent and desire to incorporate and present the best
visual representation of Bruce Lee for this installment of the IP MAN films,” Wong said. “However, after
numerous discussions with Linda’s legal counsel, we were unable to change their stance on the matter.
My intentions to have Bruce Lee reappear on the big screen were in hopes of pleasing his fans, but if
Bruce Lee’s “resurrection” should cause his family any discomfort, I would relinquish my original idea.
Instead, I have now chosen to cast Danny Chan Kwok-kwan as Bruce Lee.” Clad in a Bruce Lee-esque
outfit, actor Danny Chan Kwok-kwan expressed his excitement at the opportunity of playing his idol. Chan
especially relished shooting the sequence in which Ip Man (Donnie Yen) tested his young disciple. Chan
looks forward to viewing the resulting scene on the big screen, as the sequence has been cleverly
designed and executed by the film’s action director, Yuen Woo Ping.
PLOT SYNOPSIS
At the end of the 1950's, Ip Man has gradually settled into a stable life. Through his son’s school, Ip Man
gets to know another parent, Cheung Tin-chi, who happens to be a fellow Wing Chun practitioner.
Through their infrequent contact, the two fathers develop an interesting relationship. When gangsters lead
by Ma-king Sang unexpectedly try to take over properties in the neighborhood, Ip Man seeks justice and
decides to lead his students to guard the neighborhood. Soon Ip Man's conflict with the gangsters
becomes heated and he discovers that the boss behind the takeover is foreign land developer Frank
(Mike Tyson). Because Frank colludes with an English police superintendent, local police inspector Fat
Ball’s hands are tied. Undeterred, Ip Man stays to guard the neighborhood.
As a threat to the community, Sang abducts a group of elementary school students including both Ip Man
and Tin-chi's sons. Luckily, Ip Man arrives in time, and with Tin-chi's help, the “Wing Chun duo” saves the
children successfully. As the gangsters' misdeeds are exposed to media, the takeover of the
neighborhood ends. Unfortunately, tragedy hits Ip Man's family and suddenly he realizes that even though
he saved the neighborhood, he has neglected his own family in doing so. Trying to correct the situation, Ip
Man devotes all of his time to his wife and child, leaving other matters behind; troubles, however, do not
leave him alone. Frank sends the Muay Thai Champion to attack Ip Man, disrupting his time with his
family, threatening their safety and forcing Ip Man to confront Frank.
Trouble continues as Tin-chi openly challenges Ip Man's authority and tries to make a name for himself by
claiming to be 'authentic Wing Chun.' Aggressively challenging Ip Man into a fight, Ip Man must choose
between career and family, but with the encouragement from and arrangement by his wife, for himself and
his family, Ip Man agrees to fight with Tin-Chi. Through this fight, he teaches Tin-chi that, life belongs to
oneself but not only to oneself. Fame won’t last. What one has done in his life will surely affect the life of
his descendants and many others. Like Ip Man, his life belongs to himself, to Wing-sing, to his sons and
more significantly, to the eternal martial arts.
KNOW YOUR WING CHUN
Practiced by Ip Man in the film (and in real life), Wing Chun is initially derided by other masters as only
being “suitable for girls.” They change their tune quickly, however, after seeing the ferociousness with
which Ip Man effortlessly defeats opponents.
Accounts on the origin of Wing Chun differ, but the most common version names southern Shaolin nun
Ng Mui as its founder. While visiting Foshan in Guangdong in the late Qing dynasty, Ng Mui came across
Yim Wing-chun, the beautiful daughter of a tofu vender who was often harassed by local gangsters. To
help her defend herself, Ng Mui then taught her select moves that were suitable for girls. Being a talented
learner, Yim Wing-chun soon gained a grasp on the essence of the moves. She developed a series of
moves for practice and named them “Wing Chun.”
Developed as a method of self-defense for women, Wing Chun is a practical school of boxing
characterized by its tall and narrow stance, relaxed softness, and directness of action in contrast with the
low and wide stance and high-impact moves of other schools. Toward the end of the reign of Emperor
Jiaquin, Master Yim married Leung Bok-sau and taught him all she had learned. Leung eventually taught
Wing Chun to Wong Wah-bo and Leung Yi-tai on a boat in exchange for the manual of the six and a half
point pole, which has since become an essential weapon used by Wing Chun practitioners.
According to the historical documents of Foshan, Wong Wah-bo passed his Wing Chun skills to Leung
Chun, a respected local doctor with a very good reputation, extensive social network, and a passion for
martial arts. Despite his wide exposure in martial arts, he was hardly satisfied with his skills until he
learned Wing Chun from Wong.
Recognizing the superb tactics and mastery of power and stance in Wing Chun, Leung put his heart into it
and mastered the Siu Nim Tau, Chum Kiu (Seeking Bridge) and Bil Jee (Darting Fingers) forms, as well
as wooden dummy boxing, the six and a half point pole, and eight slashing knives. He also put Wing
Chun to practical use and gave local bullies and gangsters a hard time. Wing Chun became well-known in
Lingnan as a result, while Leung acquired fame as the King of Wing Chun. However, being a
philanthropist, Leung spent most of his time on his medical practice instead of Wing Chun teaching, and
only Chan and Leung Bik learned Wing Chun from him. Although the legend was known by many, it was
only practiced by a few and was therefore regarded as a mystery.
Living in Chan village in Foshan, Chan Wah-shun worked as a money changer in his youth and was
known as Money Changer Wah. He frequently visited Leung’s clinic for work and eventually became
Leung’s pupil and learned the essence of his art. After the death of Leung, more and more people
approached Wah for guidance on Wing Chun. Wah then quit his work as a money changer and
concentrated on Wing Chun teaching. He was the first Wing Chun master to establish his own wushu
school.
Apart from boxing sequences and individual moves, Chi Sau (hand-sticking) is another important element
of Wing Chun that requires extensive training to master. One-on-one coaching is required and Wah was
obliged to keep only a few pupils and charge expensive rates. Therefore, most of his pupils were boys
from rich families and Wing Chun acquired a reputation as boxing for rich boys. Among Wah's pupils were
Ng Chung-sok, Ho Hon-lui, Lui Yu-chai, his own son Chan Yu-gum, and Ip Man - his last pupil, who would
eventually turn Wing Chun into one of the most popular Chinese martial arts.
Ip joined Wah’s wushu school at the age of seven. Then an old man, Wah was very fond of the boy and
taught him with great devotion. After the death of Wah, Ng Chung-sok, his first pupil, took very good care
of Ip and continued to guide him in his practice. After three years of hard work, Ip had learned the
essence of Wah's skills. Relocating to Hong Kong to pursue his studies, Ip, then 16 years old, met Leung
Bik, the second son of Leung Chun. Ip then studied under Leung Bik for three years. It proved a great
opportunity for him, and Ip saw great advancement in his skills. Upon his return to Foshan, Ip supported
the cause of justice with his expertise in martial arts and once again brought great fame to the art of Wing
Chun. However, with the invasion of the Japanese, Ip fled with his family and did not have a chance to
teach.
After the Sino-Japanese War, Ip revisited Hong Kong and settled down to teach Wing Chun. After
painstaking scouting, he found a teaching job at a restaurant employees union on Tai Nam street in Sham
Shui Po with the recommendation of his friend Li Man, and took up a career in teaching. Well-educated in
western science and reason, Ip taught Wing Chun in a scientific manner, stressing the importance of
logic, line, and angle of attack, control of force, and psychology, among other things. He also abandoned
the traditional way of teaching and encouraged learners to look further than specific moves and instead
try to grasp the essence, and strike as their hearts pleased. Ip taught differently according to the abilities
of each pupil, ensuring each of them learned efficiently and developed their own talents.
The art of Wing Chun flourished with Ip’s new way of teaching. Unlike many other teachers, Ip
encouraged his pupils to engage in combat with outsiders in order to understand their own weaknesses.
This helped spread the name of Wing Chun throughout the city and attracted many talented young people
to Ip’s school. The late kung fu superstar, Bruce Lee, who introduced Chinese martial arts to the world,
was one of them. Ip spent a lifetime teaching Wing Chun and many of his pupils enjoyed great success,
gaining enormous fame for the art of Wing Chun in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. With his
invaluable contribution to the development of Wing Chun, Ip came to be regarded as one of the greatest
masters by Wing Chun practitioners.
From a method of self-defense for women, Wing Chun developed into a powerful practical combat martial
art over several decades, and from its origin in Foshan, it has established fame and a keen following in
different corners of the world. Highly regarded around the world, it is now the most popular form of
Chinese wushu among foreigners. There is an agreed account on its origin and development: founded by
Yim Wing-chun, the art took roots in the hands of Leung Chun and blossomed under Ip Man.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS
Wilson Yip (DIRECTOR)
A film buff at an early age, Yip went to the cinema whenever he could and often wrote reviews on the
back of ticket stubs. He entered the movie business in the 1980s, starting out as a "gofer" and worked his
way up to Assistant Director, where he worked on over 20 films – learning and absorbing the art of
filmmaking.
In 2005, Yip directed the highly admired SPL: SHA PO LANG (AKA KILL ZONE), starring Simon Yam and
Donnie Yen. He later re-teamed with Yen in 2006 for an adaptation of a Hong Kong manga, DRAGON
TIGER GATE. In 2007, he directed FLASH POINT, another martial-arts crime/drama in the same vein as
SPL, starring Donnie Yen, Louis Koo, and Collin Chou.
In 2008, Yip directed his most critically acclaimed film, IP MAN. The box office hit featured fight
choreography by Sammo Hung and immediately shot to number one on its opening week in Hong Kong,
earning over HK$2.8 million. After seven weeks of theatrical release in Hong Kong, IP MAN grossed
HK$25 million domestically, ranking as the 8th highest-grossing film for 2008. Following its success, the
film was nominated for 12 Hong Kong Film Awards, winning Best Film and Best Action Choreography.
Moving forward, Yip directed the sequel IP MAN 2, produced by Raymond Wong. The film is currently the
highest-grossing Hong Kong film to be released in the country, beating a five-year record held by KUNG
FU HUSTLE.
Raymond Wong (PRODUCER)
Raymond Wong is a Hong Kong actor, film director, producer, screenwriter, and presenter. He is one of
the most successful producers in Hong Kong cinema, having been one of the comedians to establish
Cinema City Studios in 1980.
Wong formed the renowned Cinema City Co., Ltd. with Karl Maka and Dean Shek. The production
company became an industry phenomenon, producing films such as A BETTER TOMORROW, ACES
GO PLACES, PRISON ON FIRE, and ALL ABOUT AH-LONG. Actors such as Chow Yun-fat, Leslie
Cheung, and Ti Lung - along with filmmakers John Woo, Ringo Lam, and Tsui Hark were some of the
people who rose to fame under the Cinema City label. In 1991, the trio broke up with both Maka and Shek
ending their interests in the film industry.
Wong eventually formed Mandarin Films Distribution Co. Ltd. later that year, while continuing to establish
himself as a successful film producer. Mandarin went on to produce films such as THE BRIDE WITH
WHITE HAIR, DRAGON TIGER GATE, FLASH POINT, IP MAN, and IP MAN 2 with Wong often serving
as an executive producer for the films produced.
Yuen Woo-Ping (ACTION DIRECTOR)
Yuen Woo-ping is a Chinese martial arts choreographer and film director, renowned as one of the most
successful and influential figures in the world of Hong Kong action cinema.
He achieved his first directing credit in 1978 on the seminal SNAKE IN THE EAGLE'S SHADOW, starring
Jackie Chan, followed quickly by DRUNKEN MASTER. The films were smash hits, launching Jackie Chan
as a major film star, turning Seasonal Films into a major independent production company, and starting a
trend towards comedy in martial arts films that continues to the present day.
Yuen went on to work with such figures as Sammo Hung in Magnificent Butcher (1979), Yuen Biao in
Dreadnaught (1981), Donnie Yen in Iron Monkey (1993), and Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh in Tai Chi Master
(1993), and Wing Chun (1994).
Yuen's works, particularly his action choreography on FIST OF LEGEND (1994), attracted the attention of
the Wachowskis, who hired him as the martial arts choreographer on THE MATRIX (1999). The success
of this collaboration, plus his action choreography on the following year's hit CROUCHING TIGER,
HIDDEN DRAGON, made him a highly sought after figure in Hollywood. He went on to work on the
MATRIX sequels and KILL BILL (2003).
More recent action choreography duties in Hong Kong cinema have included KUNG FU HUSTLE (2004),
starring Stephen Chow, and FEARLESS (2006), starring Jet Li.
Yuen also choreographed the action sequences in THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM (2008), a Hollywood
martial arts–adventure film, which was the first film to star together two of the best-known names in the
martial arts film genre, Jackie Chan and Jet Li. He worked as a fight choreography consultant on NINJA
ASSASSIN (2009).
In late 2010, Yuen released his first film as director since 1996, TRUE LEGEND, starring Vincent Zhao
and Jay Chou. He is one of the inductees on the Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong. Yuen is also a son of
Yuen Siu-tien, a renowned martial arts film actor.
ABOUT THE CAST
DONNIE YEN (Ip Man)
Martial arts movie icon Donnie Yen exploded onto the Hong Kong cinema scene when he starred in
director Yuen Woo-ping’s martial arts comedy ‘Drunken Tai Chi’. Yen, the son of legendary Boston based
kung fu instructor Bow Sim-mark, was tailor-made for the jade screen, having trained under his mother
since early childhood.
As a naturally rebellious youth, the teenaged Donnie went on to study a wide variety of martial arts. From
an early age, he was driven to seek the best knowledge that both east and west had to offer. This
background allowed him a unique perspective and skill set when it came time for him to make his mark on
world cinema.
Yen’s debut film immediately established him as a viable leading man, and he has remained a major
figure in Chinese action cinema to this day.
Born in Canton but raised in Boston, Yen has always been unique among martial arts stars in that his
persona balances both the martial virtues of his mother and the scholarly and musical ones of his father,
Klysler. Aside from his training in the various combative systems, Yen is also a gifted pianist, and critics
have noted the musical phrasing and tempo of his performances and action set pieces.
Donnie went on to star in a series of acclaimed contemporary action dramas in which he began to pioneer
his special blend of rapid fire kicking, Western boxing and grappling moves. Films like ‘In the Line of Duty
4’ and ‘Tiger Cage 1 & 2’ saw the start of Yen’s ascent as an influential action film-maker, equally adept in
front of and behind the camera.
The return of period kung fu films to Hong Kong cinema allowed Donnie to develop another aspect of his
screen persona. He displayed superlative classical Chinese martial arts moves in director/producer Tsui
Hark’s ‘Once Upon A Time In China 2’ and ‘Dragon Inn’. These films brought Yen his first real attention as
a thespian; he was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
Donnie’s talents took him beyond acting and action choreography, and he made his directorial debut with
‘Legend of the Wolf’, a stylish period action drama. Yen followed this with a very different directorial
venture, ‘Ballistic Kiss’, an urban thriller that has become a cult classic.
The western market got their first sight of this rising star from the east when Yen’s film ‘Iron Monkey’
received a wide US theatrical release. In the wake of this success, Donnie relocated to Hollywood,
working on several high profile international hits. He both acted in and action directed ‘Highlander:
Endgame’ and ‘Blade 2’, and co-starred with Jackie Chan in ‘Shanghai Knights’.
Despite the success of these projects, Yen still felt that his talents and vision were under utilized in
Hollywood. His ambition was to break new ground in martial arts cinema. He returned to Hong Kong,
where his confidence was borne out, as this shift of focus took his career to a whole new level.
Donnie co-starred in director Zhang Yimou’s epic wu xia master work ‘Hero’. Yen’s duel with Jet Li
brought his performance to the emerging Mainland Chinese theatrical audience, and paved the way for
Donnie to become the country’s biggest action star. The film received a wide US theatrical release from
Miramax, and remains one of the most successful foreign language titles ever distributed in the America
market.
The first stage in Donnie’s plan to revitalize Hong Kong martial arts cinema saw him action direct ‘The
Twins Effect’. His work won him Best Choreography at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and his subsequent
films have seen him win this same category at virtually every major Asian awards ceremony.
Donnie has proved himself an extraordinarily versatile film-maker, crafting the best cinematic
interpretation of Mixed Martial Arts fighting in hits like ‘SPL: Kill Zone’ and ‘Flashpoint’ and recreating
classic Chinese kung fu forms in such fan favourites as ‘Lost Bladesman’, ‘14 Blades’ and ‘Bodyguards
and Assassins’.
Away from the cameras, Yen entered into the most rewarding partnership of his life when he married
former beauty queen Cissy Wang. The couple now has two children, a girl and boy, Jasmine and James.
Yen’s own life journey seems to have led inevitably to his greatest success, the hugely popular and
acclaimed ‘Ip Man’. By the time this project came around, Donnie was himself a happy family man with a
background as both a scholar and martial artist, just like the patriarch of the Wing Chun kung fu clan that
he played on-screen. Yen became synonymous with the title character, and the movie is perceived as
being the most influential kung fu film of its decade. ‘Ip Man’ took Yen’s leading man status to new
heights, and its sequel was even more successful.
Donnie partnered with director Peter Chan to make ‘Wu Xia’ (aka ‘Dragon’), a dark, elegant period martial
arts murder mystery. The film premiered to great acclaim at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, and
subsequently received a North American theatrical release from The Weinstein Company.
Yen went on to play the title character in ‘The Monkey King,’ a hugely popular reimagining of the Chinese
classic. Starring opposite screen legend Chow Yun-fat, Yen also choreographed the action for the film,
which smashed box office records in Mainland China. Donnie was subsequently called on to revisit the
greatest worldwide franchise in the history of Asian action cinema…
‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: The Green Destiny’ was shot primarily on location in New Zealand,
with Yen in the lead role. The world class creative team included legendary kung fu film director Yuen
Woo-ping, acclaimed Hollywood film-makers Peter Berg and Morten Tyldum (as producers), ‘X-Men’
series Director of Photography Tom Sigel as well as the Oscar-winning production, costume and FX
designers from the ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Hobbit’ film series.
In 2015, Yen will be seen in the hotly anticipated ‘Ip Man 3D’. He is also developing a series of films for
his own companies, Super Hero Films and Bullet Films, including the epic crime drama ‘Dragon
City’. Presently he is on the set of the highly anticipated 2016 next film in the Star Wars Franchise ‘Star
Wars Anthology: Rogue One.’
With his ground-breaking work on and off camera, Donnie continues to entertain worldwide audiences
with the range and depth of his talents.
MIKE TYSON (Frank)
Mike Tyson is a larger-than-life legend-- both in and out of the ring. Tenacious, talented, and thrilling to
watch, Tyson embodies the grit and electrifying excitement of the sport. With nicknames such as “Iron”
Mike, Kid Dynamite, and The Baddest Man on the Planet, it’s no surprise that Tyson’s legacy is the stuff
of a legend. Tyson was one of the most feared boxers in the ring, and one look at his resume proves he is
one of boxing’s greats: Aside from having been the undisputed heavyweight champion, Tyson holds the
record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles. He was the first
heavyweight boxer to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles simultaneously. In 2011 Tyson was inducted into
the Boxing Hall of Fame and in 2013 he was inaugurated into the Las Vegas Hall of Fame.
Tyson’s enduring mass appeal owes not only to his incomparable athleticism, but to his huge personality
and unrivaled showmanship. His ability to work a crowd extends far beyond the ring- Tyson’s career in
entertainment spans everything from blockbuster movies (The Hangover and The Hangover 2), to
documentaries. Most recently, Mike worked with director Bert Marcus on hotly-anticipated documentary,
Champs that examines like lives in and out of the ring of the boxing greats.
Tyson is also making a major name for himself in television. He not only starred in his own docu-series on
FOX Sports 1, “Being Mike Tyson” in the Fall of 2013—his most recent project, a Warner Brothers
animated series, “Mike Tyson Mysteries” which airs on Adult Swim, was just picked up for a second
season after its hugely successful debut.
Beyond film and television, the world of theater has also Tyson with open arms and monumental success:
Over the past three years, he has been touring nationally and internationally with his critically acclaimed
Broadway one-man show “Mike Tyson: UNDISPUTED TRUTH,” which also aired as an HBO special.
After a successful run at the MGM Grand’s Hollywood Theater, the show debuted on Broadway under
famed director Spike Lee on July 31st, 2012. Undisputed Truth is the raw, no-holds barred life story of the
legend himself - as it has never been told before. In the show, Tyson unveils never-before-told stories,
peeling back layers of tragedy and public turmoil while unfolding his tale of triumph and survival. In an upclose-and-personal setting featuring images, music and video, Tyson shares the stories of his life and
experiences as a professional athlete and controversies in and out of the ring. Theatrical, intimate, and
unprecedented, this show will reveal the man behind the myth. Tyson is currently retired from boxing and
is based in Las Vegas- the city that he helped electrify on so many fight-nights over the past two decades.
Mike's memoir "Undisputed Truth was released in the fall of 2013 nationally and internationally. It quickly
became a New York Times bestseller. Undisputed Truth was released in paperback October 28, 2014.
Tyson is currently working on a new book about lessons he learned from his mentor Cus D'Amato.
A devoted husband and loving father, Tyson resides in Las Vegas with his wife Kiki and their children.
