Ip-Man 4: The Finale was released in cinemas on December 25th, 2019. In the end, Ip Man 4: The Finale simply feels more like a mid-chapter episode, rather than a true finale.

Typically nippy fight choreography by Yuen Woo-ping adds spice, while a punch-up which begins in a lift proves a slick highlight to an otherwise uneven film. Any overarching sense of legacy is almost absent until the closing moments, which truly feels like a wasted opportunity. There’s a West Side Story liveliness to some early scenes, after which the patchy story plods messily towards a projected showdown with Cheung Tin-chi (played by Zhang Jin, who had an eye-catching role in Wong Kar-wai’s The Grandmaster), who challenges Ip to prove which of them is the true master of Wing Chun.

Donnie Yen returns as Ip Man, with whom we pick up in Hong Kong, 1959. Sadly, the necessary technology does not exist to breathe life into Mike Tyson’s performance as lumbering thug Frank, who speaks two languages but is coherent in neither. The first, THE LEGEND IS BORN: IP MAN, was a prequel to the Donnie Yen trilogy, whereas THE FINAL FIGHT is a natural successor. While it may not have the quantity of fight scenes with Donnie Yen the first two had, the ones that. IP MAN: THE FINAL FIGHT is the second of two biopic movies made by former Category III director Herman Yau. Lee’s estate protested, and the plan was dropped, the incidental role being filled instead by Danny Chan. This is the last film in the trilogy of the IP Man saga.

T his third instalment in the quasi-biographical series ruffled feathers during pre-production when it was announced that a CGI simulacrum would be employed to bring Bruce Lee back from the dead to play himself. Ip Man 3 isnt the most tightly plotted biopic a kung fu fan could ask for, but the fight scenes are fun to watch - and at times, the drama is even genuinely poignant.
