The final fight is a standout too. Yes, former boxer Mike Tyson, here in a rare non-comedic role, and a rare role in which he isn't playing some version of Mike Tyson.Critic Reviews for Yip Man 2. They're unambiguously evil: all greased hair, loud clothes and sneering attitude, and they aren't above menacing small children in their attempts to take over a school whose location makes it irresistible to bad guys, including boss and "foreign devil" (as he's repeatedly called) Frank, played by Mike Tyson.

Yip Man 2 Final Fight Movie That Already
It's hard not to share Yen's strong yet apparently wavering belief that this series has run its course, and that it would be a mistake to make another sequel to a movie that already feels more than a little tired. Ip Man 3 mostly delivers the goods, but it doesn't do much to justify its existence beyond a handful of memorable fight scenes. The fight scenes are cleanly and forcefully filmed and elegantly choreographed, and director Wilson Yip doles them out sparingly enough that each fight scene registers strongly, as does a fairly ridiculous but fun bit part from Danny Chan, the actor playing the young Bruce Lee.Ip Man 3 loses much of its urgency in its third act, after the good guys triumph over the bullies terrorizing their community and the focus shifts to Man tending to his wife and contemplating a challenge from a boastful and cocky contender who also practises Wing Chun. The character is defined by a potent combination of power and control, most notably in a standout fight scene where he takes on an attacker in an elevator, with the tricky added variable of Ip Man needing to protect his dying wife at the same time, and in a very enclosed space.The plot of the film is pretty silly, but it functions largely as a fight-delivery system, and on that level it's relatively successful. But following the rich cinematic tradition of violence-hating men who nevertheless end up brutalizing dozens of bad guys, he becomes an explosive force when threatened.
