I have seen the first 3 Donny Yen 'Ip Man' movies, enjoyed them very much. But Yen's public statement (March 2010, see below) about not making any more 'Ip Man' films after 'Ip Man 2' just rings hollow. Seems maybe it's all about the money? I'll wait until it's out on DVD or a streaming service to see the 'finale'.
"Amid a surge of Ip Man–related film projects in production, Donnie Yen told the Chinese media in March 2010 that after Ip Man 2, he will no longer play the Wing Chun master. He stated, "I would never ever touch any films related to Ip Man. This will be my final film on the subject. Whenever something becomes a success, everyone would jump on the bandwagon, this is very frightening. Did you know how many Ip Man films are in production? Under such condition, we would not progress, it'd only lead to over-saturation of the subject matter."
