Anthony Wong Chau Sun for the Guoyi Entertainment and Emperor Motion Picture joint production IP MAN -- THE FINAL FIGHT (IP MAN JUNG GIK YUT JIK) lost weight and trained in Wing Chun. In the film he dueled with Eric Tsang Chi Wai who played the white crane style successor as they battled both in wits and skills. He joked, "Chi Wai this time is great! I never would have guessed that he would be 60 before his action star luck would arrive. From now on whoever wants to make THE MAGNIFICENT BUTCHER he is the only choice, he still has a long time to fight! This time every fight scene is with an expert, Xiong Xinxin, (Ken) Low Wai Kwong, the fights were both pleasant and fun for me. (Are you afraid that viewers would compare you to Donnie Yen Chi Tan's or Tony Leung Chiu Wai's Ip Man?) Would they compare who is more handsome between me and Leung Chiu Wai? The style is complete! I don't know what is left to compare or what can be compared!"

Chau Sun also had nothing but praise for Gillian Chung Yun Tung and Timmy Hung Tin Ming. He said, "Ah Gil's personality is very lovable and very willing to share. Her acting isn't selfish as she wants the entire movie to be good; Tin Ming works very hard, after the movie release people will definitely praise him. As the songstress Jenny, Zhou Chuchu is very smart. She captures the soul of the out of province songstress of the era. In addition the screen writers and the director handle the relationship between Ip Man and Jenny very well. The quiet romance is very mild mannered, not as crass as the people who kiss all over the street now!"

Director Herman Yau Lai To said, "In comparison to THE LEGEND IS BORN -- IP MAN (IP MAN CHIN JUEN), the ambition this time is even greater. The plum flower stump, lion dance with all the climbing up and down, every scene is very hard to shoot. I have to thank Chau Sun, Chi Wai and the entire team's hard work. Everyone made this film with a lot of passion. I feel Ip Man still has many stories that viewers want to see and are worth making. As for any further sequel, it would depend on Master Sin Kwok Lam and the film company's intentions!"
