YMMV / Ip Man 3

Go To

  • Ass Pull: Ip Man's skill to avoid strikes by hearing them comes from nowhere in the exact moment he needs it. Not only it comes unseen, but it was never implied that such ability could be possible in the film's setting.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Frank (Mike Tyson's character), among other reasons for being so far the only opponent in the series who is not bested by Ip Man.
  • Funny Moments: During Ip and Frank's fight, Ip appears to realize he can't trade blows with Frank due to the latter's greater strength. To avoid this, he gets into an extremely low stance, making it almost impossible for Frank to hit him. Frank's response? Walk forward and try to kick Ip in the chest. Frank even takes a moment to look amused at the stance before forcing Ip Man to stand up with his kick.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Many people watch Ip Man 3 just to see Donnie Yen fighting Mike Tyson.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Ma King-sang is merely a selfish jerk when he mouths off to his former master and tries to justify leading a gang, and is truly a bastard when he tries to have the school burned down (fortunately no one was inside) in order to secure the property for his boss. Where he truly crosses the line was kidnapping the children and threatening to SELL THEM INTO SLAVERY to force Ip Man to cooperate.
  • Tear Jerker: Wing Sing's cancer revelation and her deteriorating condition. She succumbs to it and dies in the end.
