Mike Tyson: Donnie Yen fractured my finger!

18 May – Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson recently flicked his left forefinger to the media and revealed that Hong Kong’s “Strongest Man in the Universe”, Donnie Yen had injured it while they were filming “Ip Man 3”.

As reported on Oriental Daily News, Tyson, whose left index finger was heavily bandaged during a set visit recently, stated that it was fractured when Donnie accidentally hit it during a combat scene.

“All of you were worried that Donnie will get injured. Nobody cared about me. Now I am injured, still nobody came to console me,” he joked.

Donnie later explained that he accidentally elbowed Tyson’s finger while trying to accommodate the camera.

“I knew that I bumped into him, but I didn’t know it was that serious. He was very professional about it and we even continued filming. It was only later at the hospital that he was told that his finger had fractured. I am truly sorry!” said Donnie.

The actor was also full of praises for the former boxer, saying that they often shared knowledge about fighting during breaks.

OR…I can imagine people in China saying, “Even the great Mike Tyson was injured and defeated when he faced China’s hero!”

More on the finger

Donnie Yen-Mike Tyson showdown on Ip Man 3 set: Guess who won?

HONG KONG – In a fight between Donnie Yen and Mike Tyson, who would win? That question seemed settled on the set of Ip Man 3 the other day, when action star Yen accidentally broke a finger of his new co-star, knockout king Tyson, said Apple Daily.

Tyson had his left index finger in a brace when the newspaper visited the set. Hamming it up as the victim, he was quoted as saying by the report: “You were worried only whether Donnie would be hurt, nobody thought of my safety. Now that I’m hurt, no one is comforting me.”

Yen said he was trying to give the camera a good shot when his elbow struck Tyson’s finger. “I knew I hit him during the shoot, but didn’t think it was serious, and we continued shooting.”

Tyson found out about the fracture when he went to hospital later, said Yen, who added: “I’m really very sorry.”

Yen and the crew all praised the professionalism of Tyson, who has continued to perform his own stunts despite his injury, said the newspaper.

Tyson, 48, has played cameo roles in movies including The Hangover (2009) after hanging up his professional boxing gloves. He is the biggest name in boxing to face off with Yen, 51, in the Ip Man movies.

It remains to be seen if their duels on the big screen will top Yen’s showdowns with martial arts superstars Sammo Hung in SPL: Kill Zone (2005) and Jet Li in Once Upon A Time In China II (1992).

Ip Man 3, the latest instalment in the story of Bruce Lee’s teacher, will open in February next year, according to the movie website IMDb.

"no one is comforting me’ awww, poor Iron Mike. Wonder if he comforted his rape victim. :rolleyes:

more injuries

So far, these sound like minor injuries, stuff Jackie would have used for his ng scenes at the end of the film. Nowadays, they make for good viral marketing I suppose, as long as no one gets seriously injured.

Donnie Yen injures nose while filming fight scene

Donnie Yen injures nose while filming fight scene

10 Jun - It has been two months since “Ip Man 3” started filming, and accidents have been happening frequently.
After Donnie Yen accidentally fractured Mike Tyson’s finger, and he himself injured his hands later on, it was recently revealed that the martial arts actor has been injured yet again, this time on his nose, and by Max Zhang’s blade.
According to Mingpao News, the two stars were filming a scene where Donnie Yen’s Ip Man accepted a challenge made by Max Zhang’s character to fight with Wing Chun’s Eight Catty Blade.
However, the blade was too close to his face while they were doing it, and ended up injuring his nose.
“I felt truly guilty,” said Max, who immediately rushed over to Donnie to help. “But I really admire Donnie. He laughed despite the injury. He is very professional.”
Donnie stated that an injury is part and parcel of working on fight scenes, and that he himself has injured others before.
“It’s only a minor injury this time, and it didn’t bleed that much,” he said.

Donnie’s last?

Action star Donnie Yen says Ip Man 3 is likely to be his last gongfu movie

Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen, famous for playing legendary wing chun grandmaster Ip Man in the blockbuster franchise, says that Ip Man 3 may well be his last gongfu movie.

The actor admits that he is uncertain if he can deliver another character as iconic as Ip Man, a role which catapulted him to A-list status seven years ago.

He tells Life: “I don’t know if I can find another character in a gongfu movie which can satisfy the artistic desire as well as the audience’s expectations.”

According to online reports, the actor had previously announced his intent to step down from the franchise last March (2015) at a press conference in Shanghai. He was in town last week (Aug 15 2015) for the opening of Swiss watchmaker Hublot’s largest pop-up store in the world, at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza.

He says: “Ip Man is so rooted in the fans’ hearts and I believe I’ve played that role quite successfully. I’m not sure if it will be a wise decision for me to search for another (gongfu) role.”

But he is not the first martial arts star to say he is giving up the genre.

Hollywood action maestros Jet Li and Jackie Chan have made similar sentiments in interviews over the years, only to return to what they do best.

In 2006, Li was quoted as saying wuxia epic Fearless would be his last martial arts film. He later went on to star in martial arts film The Forbidden Kingdom alongside Chan in 2008, followed by another wuxia epic Flying Swords Of Dragon Gate in 2011.

Chan, on the other hand, announced his decision to retire from action movies in 2012, while promoting fight flick CZ12. The martial arts expert clarified his comments later on, saying he would be retiring from specifically “big” action movies and would perform less-demanding stunts. He is set to begin filming on action-adventure movie, Kung Fu Yoga, next month (September).

Dressed casually in a T-shirt and jeans, Yen seems right at home during the interview at the Grand Hyatt Singapore. Speaking in English with an American accent, he exudes the same imperturbable calm as the placid and good-tempered Ip Man he plays on the big screen.

While other Hong Kong actors such as Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Anthony Wong and Dennis To have taken on the same role in the last few years, it is clear that none have come close to being as memorable as Yen.

After all, the gongfu-trained former stuntman, who was voted the best Ip Man by Straits Times readers in a 2013 poll, is the first to play the titular character in the hugely popular action flick Ip Man (2008). The film grossed more than US$21 million worldwide and the sequel Ip Man 2, was released in 2010.

Even at the age of 52, Yen is not running out of steam. He is slated to appear in two more blockbuster franchises - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II, the anticipated sequel to Lee Ang’s 2000 Oscar-winning film, and the recently announced Rogue One: A Star Wars Story from Lucasfilm.

When asked how he feels towards criticism that gongfu stars cannot act, he says: “That kind of myth was a long time ago. Obviously I don’t believe it and I have proven otherwise.”

In fact, he believes that “everyone” can act “to some degree”, unless one is “not a human”.

“When you play a character, you are sharing your own personal past experiences in life. Unless you are totally unsentimental or not a human, you would know how to express the emotion needed for a good acting performance.”

Having said that, he still has a desire to stretch his limits as an actor. He was initially uninterested in reprising his role in Ip Man 3 as he felt the need to explore “other possibilities”.

He says: “I am very fortunate to have played a character majority of the audience has embraced. But I wanted to continue to grow as an artist and did not want to be stuck only playing Ip Man.”

After the commercially-successful Ip Man 2 in 2010, he followed up with varied roles in comedy All’s Well, Ends Well (2011), cop action movie Special ID (2013) and fantasy flick The Monkey King last year.

On why he changed his mind about Ip Man 3, he says: “Ultimately, I thought a lot of fans would love to see me play Ip Man again. If Wilson Yip could come up with an angle for me to be challenged, then I would play the role.”

He hopes audiences will experience “the same type of excitement” for the third instalment as they did for the first two, not from watching the thrilling action scenes, but from the additional emotional dimension he will be bringing to the character this time.

“For the audience to be attracted to a character, that character has to have something they can relate to and that was the challenge always at the back of my mind. How do I make this character more sophisticated and interesting?”

While he may be leaving gongfu movies for good after Ip Man 3, he is quick to add that it is not because they pack less of a punch in the entertainment industry.

“No matter what culture, all the movies in the world have martial arts elements in them. Look at all the Hollywood blockbuster films, like the Avengers, when they are in combat” he says. “Martial arts is no longer an Asian thing and it is becoming a necessity for all action movies.”

Fans can perhaps look forward to catching glimpses of his fighting skills when he heads off to the galactic landscape in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

He is said to be playing a Chinese Jedi in the first of a spin-off movie series from the Star Wars saga, alongside actors such as Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker and fellow Chinese actor Jiang Wen. The first cast photo was released last week (Aug 15).

The actor is understandably excited about his newest role.

He says: “It’s a good learning experience for me to be in such a big franchise. The very first sci-fi movie I saw when I was a teenager was Star Wars and I never thought that I would be co-starring in one many years later.”

As many of his previous films contain relatively violent fight scenes, he says: “It’s about time I can take my kids to watch my movie. Star Wars is a family movie and I think kids will love it.”

He is married to former beauty queen Cecilia Wang and they have an 11-year-old daughter and eight-year-old son. He also has a 20-year-old son from his first marriage.

With Rogue One: A Star Wars Story set for release only at the end of next year (Dec 2016), audiences can catch him for now as the wing chun master he is best known for.

Ip Man 3 opens here on Christmas Eve (Dec 24).

One of the highlights of the movie will be the explosive duels between Yen and heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who is in the cast. This is especially so after news of Yen accidentally breaking Tyson’s finger on set emerged in May.

The star, who was reportedly trying to give the camera a good shot when his elbow struck Tyson’s finger, is quick to play down the incident.

He says: “Accidents do happen and it was purely an accident. It’s movie-making, it wasn’t a boxing match or a combat match. I think Mike and I will provide a very exciting fight.”

Yea, if I was cast in Star Wars, I would just live off those royalties and going to Cons for the rest of my life…:wink:

IP MAN 3: New Images Of Donnie Yen, Mike Tyson, But No CGI Bruce Lee Yet
James Marsh, Asian Editor

New character images have surfaced from Wilson Yip and Donnie Yen’s inevitable third collaboration, Ip Man 3, which will pit the wing chun master against an American property developer, portrayed by former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, as well as finally focus on his relationship with his greatest pupil, Bruce Lee.

After failing to find an actor worthy enough to portray Lee onscreen, the film’s producers Pegasus Motion Pictures have taken the rather ballsy step of creating a completely CGI version of the iconic martial artist to appear alongside Yen. This move has been challenged by Bruce Lee Enterprises, but producers insist that Lee’s brother Robert - a consultant on the film - owns the star’s intellectual property rights. As yet, however, we are still waiting to see an image of the all new CG Lee.

Ip Man 3, which also features rising star Max Zhang (The Grandmaster, SPL 2) is currently set for release in Hong Kong on 25 December 2015.






The Digital Dragon issue is very intriguing as it may well set a precedent. Also, it makes our 2000 March ‘Digital Dragon’ issue somewhat prophetic, even though that was 15 years ago when the second paragraph opened with the header “WHAT IS DVD?” Man, The Times They Are A-Changin’…

[QUOTE=Jimbo;1282622]Pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. Bruce Lee was a man, but now he’s been turned into a mere product. I heard something about even his former students are no longer allowed to use the name ‘Bruce Lee’ when they mention their late teacher, or else they can be sued. It’s only a matter of time before nobody can say or write the name without facing litigation from Linda. I wonder if she’ll start suing everybody who is also coincidentally named Bruce Lee.

It’s more than ridiculous, actually. It’s crossed the line into despicable.[/QUOTE]

Bruce Lee ! Jeet Kune Do. Jun Fan. Now if I am lucky enough to be sued I may get the chance to meet Bruce Lee’s widow and daughter.

edit: If people are using her husbands name or likeness for financial gain then she should either get a cut or refuse usage. She got screwed plenty for many years. If some guy learned from Bruce Lee then he should have the right to say and advertise that provided it is true. If people teach Jun Fan then they should be allowed to use it. For them to have to join and organization or pay dues is simply wrong but that would also mean they are excluded from those events and that is right. Trust me, there is no one getting rich teaching Bruce Lee material. Movies and merchandise, YES ! Still to this day he makes bucks.

Boo!

:confused::confused::confused: Wilson Yip can come up with someone to play Ip Man but unlike all the other Bruce Lee spinoff movies in the past can’t just pick one of the long lineup of Bruce lee Wannabee’s? Elivis has left the room for good this time. Cheezy. The Industry could find an actor to portray Confucius in a recent release but no actors are worthy enough to play B_ _ _ _ L_ _? Go figure.

… In Brand New Action Flick
10/1/2015 10:01 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF

Mike Tyson’s boxing days are over, but he’s proving his fists still have fury … starring in a new Kung-Fu flick alongside some of the biggest names in martial arts movie history.

The trailer just dropped for “Ip Man 3” … the follow up to Ip Man 1 and 2 … and it shows Mike calling punks out to see whose hands are the most lighting fast between a boxer and a Kung-Fu master.

Mike’s in some GREAT company … the movie stars Donnie Yen as Ip Man (The guy that trained Bruce Lee!!) and Sammo Hung, who between them have starred in over 239 movies … most of which are the flying-kick-to-the-face variety.

Check out the trailer … you get to see a little vintage Mike workin’ the speed bag (he’s still got it) but if you wanna see him throw down with the big boys on-screen … you might need to buy a ticket.

We can’t wait.

‘Ip Man 3’ Actor Mike Tyson Believes His Fighting Background Gave Him an Edge

The third installment of the “Ip Man” series premiered Wednesday in Los Angeles at the Pacific Theaters at the Grove. While the movie bowed in Hong Kong over the holidays, both Donnie Yen (Ip Man) and Mike Tyson (Frank) attended the Los Angeles debut of “Ip Man 3,” with much appreciation from fans.

Before the screening, Well Go SVP Jason Pfardrescher led the audience in a classic “Ip Man” chant, complete with a brief Kung Fu move. Both Yen and Tyson introduced the film, eliciting applause from the audience.

“Ip Man 3” follows the iconic character Ip Man — the real-life Wing Chun Kung Fu master who mentored Bruce Lee — as he defends his son’s school when a band of gangsters led by crook Frank attempt to take over the city.

Although “Ip Man 3” has an abundance of Wing Chun Kung Fu, Yen explains he is an actor first, and a martial arts professional second. “I mean at the end of the day, acting is acting, right? The most important [aspect] is just playing the character,” Yen said. “I think there’s an advantage of being a martial arts actor, because not only do you have to craft your acting skills, but you’ve also got to know enough of martial arts.”

Yen’s mother was his first martial arts instructor, and he’s thankful for what his mother instilled in him. “I think from a martial arts background, my mom gave me a very strong foundation,” Yen said. “Of course, I thank my mom for giving me that kind of family background.”

Tyson retired from fighting in 2005, but has returned to the spotlight through acting. After appearing in pieces such as “The Hangover,” “Entourage” and his one-man show on Broadway, “Mike Tyson: The Undisputed Truth,” Tyson explained his fighting background has helped his new ventures. “I’m used to being under pressure,” Tyson said. “I’m pretty composed. I believe that gave me an edge.”

Tyson and Yen duke it out in the film, each using his own skill. “If those two have to go head-to-head, that’s going to be a fight,” co-host of “American Ninja Warrior,” Akbar Gbaja-Biamila said. “That’s going to get me out of my seat. That’s too much action for one movie.”

Some of Tyson’s friends attended the premiere to support the new actor. Boxer Danny Musico was 14 years old when he first met Tyson at a training facility in Upstate New York, and he explained his utter excitement for Tyson’s success and appreciation for the martial arts in “Ip Man 3.” “That’s what I actually really love about this movie,” Musico said. “It’s them doing their own fight scenes. A lot of it is they just keep the cameras going when they’re doing it. You wouldn’t know if it’s supposed to be or not supposed to be. It’s just them naturally being fighters.”
