* HappyEndingOverride: In the previous film, Ip Man may have defeated Twister and brought back a lot of national pride for his people. But seeing as Hong Kong wouldn't be free from British colonial rule until 1997, more mundane people in this film like "Fatso" still have to deal with British authorities being condescending towards them, making them go through bureaucratic red tape, and not giving any priority to their pleas to seriously investigate criminals like Frank.

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: When the filmmakers announced their intention to use a [[FakeShemp CGI recreation]] of a young Bruce Lee as a character in the film, a [[http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2015/04/bruce-lee-estate-suing-ip-man-3-producers-to-prevent-cgi-recreation.html lawsuit]] was filed against the studio by Lee's estate. The character still shows up, but is played by an actual actor instead of CGI, with little fanfare in his initial scene (going for a more introductory feel as opposed to bombastic and epic), and not appearing exactly like the traditional depiction of Bruce Lee, instead being depicted as a jovial and friendly, if slightly arrogant young man, which is more realistic considering the character's age.

HalfwayPlotSwitch: The film's first half is a straight-up action flick that's a [[SelfParody borderline-parody of itself]], with Ip taking on gangsters in a [[SavingTheOrphanage save the school plot]]. The second half is a (comparatively) serious drama about Ip dealing with his wife's cancer and likely death, and having to choose between what is most important in life -- his family or martial arts.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Tin Ngo-san: we are told that he is the most famous martial artist in Hong Kong (next to Ip Man, of course), is friends with all of the other martial arts masters and runs the tea shop where they all hang out, despite us having never met him before in the previous films. This is especially noticeable as it was a plot point in the previous film that Ip Man had to challenge the Hong Kong masters, and it wouldn't make sense for someone so highly regarded to have been absent from the match.
