Donnie Yen versus Mike Tyson? Yes, please! In the third installment of this popular franchise, Yen reprises his role as the real-life kung fu master best known for having trained a young Bruce Lee (as seen here in the first of many fight scenes choreographed by the legendary Yuen Woo-ping). In this edition, which was nominated for eight Hong Kong Film Awards, Ip is settling into life as a family man, but he’s soon called to protect Hong Kong from a ruthless American businessman (with surprisingly strong boxing skills) who is trying to make a land grab. Yen brings his customary grace and gravitas to the title role, while director Wilson Yip suffuses the film with rich period detail. (Dir.: Wilson Yip, Hong Kong, 2015, 105 min., DCP, Cantonese with English subtitles)
