Sammo Hung. Biao Yuen. - The Gangs all here.
Watching this film made me realize something, that the "dragon brothers" are so much like the Three Stooges in terms of physical comedy. They are their equal in hilariousness. They make me laugh like no other when the three of them are all together. - DirectorHark TsuiStarsJet LiRosamund KwanBiao YuenLegendary martial arts hero Wong Fei-Hung fights against foreign forces' plundering of China.

TRIVIA:
According to the commentary on the Region 1 DVD, this movie started out as a proposed new film to star Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. Jackie would have played Wong, (which he'd previously played in Drunken Master), Sammo would have played Butcher Wing (as he did in Lin Shi Rong), and Yuen would be Lueng Foon (who played the role in Lin Shi Rong). This idea fell through and only Yuen Biao made it into the finished film. - DirectorWilson YipStarsDonnie YenLynn XiongJin ZhangWhen a band of brutal gangsters led by a crooked property developer make a play to take over a local school, Master Ip is forced to take a stand.So I finally got around to watching this and I wasnt disappointed. It had everything that made Ip Man such an entertaining martial arts movie. Still not quite up there with the original IMO, but a definite improvement over 2, production wise anyway. The final fight scene, the fight scene with Ip man and Mike Tyson and Young Bruce Lee meeting Ip Man again were all A moments.
- DirectorWilson YipStarsDonnie YenXiaoming HuangSammo Kam-Bo HungCentering on Ip Man's migration to Hong Kong in 1949 as he attempts to propagate his discipline of Wing Chun martial arts.ALMOST as good as the first, not quite as awesome but still awesome none the less.
Plus Donnie Yen Vs Sammo Hung go for Round II! (they went head on in a little flick prior to this called Kill Zone.) - DirectorLee Jeong-beomStarsWon BinKim Sae-ronKim Tae-hoonA quiet pawnshop keeper with a violent past takes on a drug-and-organ trafficking ring in hope of saving the child who is his only friend.Tae-Sik Cha makes Jason Bourne look like an sissy-boy.

As there are others wanting the gold, lots of kung fu fighting and comedy follows.Pluto Jackie Chan does Indiana Jones!
- DirectorSammo Kam-Bo HungStarsKa-Yan LeungChia-Yung LiuBiao YuenTwo brothers and small time crooks Yipao and Taipao convince a martial arts expert to take them on as students, completely oblivious to his sordid past.Tubi Biao Yuen is extremely underrated. The most acrobatic man in Martial Arts cinema needs more praise and exposure than he gets. See this film and hopefully you'll agree with me.
Seriously though, once you get to the training sequences the things he pulls off gets insane. - DirectorWilson YipStarsDonnie YenScott AdkinsDanny Kwok-Kwan ChanThe Kung Fu master travels to the U.S. where his student has upset the local martial arts community by opening a Wing Chun school.And with that, the Ip Man series comes to a close on a high note.

TRIVIA:
