My boys love Rocky 3 and 4, I was surprised they say through it but they love the training and fighting. It has some comedy gold too.
Is there an Ip Man 3?
re: Favourite Martial Arts Film
As much as I love Donnie Yen movies and i loved Ip Man 1, i felt the overall plot structure of Ip Man 2 was exactly the same as IM1.
Ip Man goes to different place, has to establish himself as legit and gotz skillz. Local group challenges him, he wins and wins their respect. Foreigner comes in to challenge Ip Man who represents China, Ip Man almost gets beaten before he comes back to win. It worked though. originally yen said no to IM3, but now there's word he will be doing it!
But given the spate of Ip Man movies, wonder if there's any real new story to tell. Anthony Wong Chau-san played older Ip Man, Tony Leung Chiu-wai played middle-aged Ip Man who is already skilled. Donnie's Ip is younger, but also skilled. there was the Dennis To one, younger Ip Man who wasn't as skilled as middle-aged/older Ip Man.

Confession: this is one of Jet's I've not watched yet. sooner or later, i will watch, skipped some of his hollywood movies.
By Ip Man 3 - i think you mean Donnie Yen as Ip Man - if so, no, not yet.
After Donnie's IM 1-2 came out, there was a IM movie starring Dennis To (played one of the students of Sammo Hung in IM 1) - he played young IM. at the time people unofficially called it IM3. That movie had Ip Chun, Ip Man's real-life oldest son, as Leung Bik, iirc, son of Leung Jan (who was one of the famous masters of Wing Chun Kuen from Foshan/Fut San)

Yes that must be the one my son keeps telling me about for Ip Man 3 where he fights 100 people and was when he was younger.

i've been hesitant despite some friends highly reco'ing it to me. cos it's a Miike film, scared he will go gory on it as only he can, not hollywood gore.
but sooner or later, i will watch it.
