Continuation of the Ip Man martial arts series. Following director Yau's The Legend is Born (2010) which chonicled Ip Man's youth, The Final Fight picks up the grandmaster of Wing Chun's later years in 1950s Hong Kong. What begins as a simple challenge soon reluctantly draws the legend into the dark and dangerous underworld of the Triads.
"Begins with an elderly Ip Man (Anthony Wong) returning from a visit by his most famous student, Bruce Lee, recently back from Hollywood, where he has become an international star. In flashback, we are transported back to the early 1950s, where the Foshan native is teaching wing chun to a close knit group of students... While his students tend to his daily needs, Ip becomes smitten by a sultry young club singer (Zhu Chouchou), for whom the feeling is mutual. However, violence inevitably intervenes and forces Ip Man out of retirement. First, he must square off against the master of a rival school (Eric Tsang), but the film builds to the clash of the title, against infamous Walled City gangster, Dragon (Hung Yan Yan)." (TwitchFilm)

"Delivers a detailed account of the hero’s middle-to-later years that is never boring. What the pic lacks in stylistic sparks compared with other renditions, it makes up for in sinewy action and traditional values."

Screen Daily"Enjoyable enough, this colorfully local, nostalgia-tinged tale focuses on the Hong Kong years of an older, gentlemanly kung fu master."
