[[AC:The 2008 Film]]
* Cheung Wing-Sing ''NOT'' taking any shit from the bandits challenging her husband in their home, telling them all to shut up, and after reasonably being annoyed by Ip Man indulging in fighting and not spending time with their son, giving him the green light to kick their leader's ass on the promise that they don't break her dishes.
* Ip Man training the workers as a self-defense class to face against the bandits.
* The fight where Ip Man goes up against ten of the Japanese Karate black belts. This is the first time you see him fighting without concern for the health or safety of the other guy, and holy crap, does it show.
** This fight starts off with Ip Man catching a dude out of the air, slamming him on the ground, and stepping directly on his head.
** At least three times he takes someone down with nothing more than [[RapidFireFisticuffs a series of rapid punches]] that leave them twitching on the ground (and, in the last case, bleeding from their nose and mouth and probably with significant head trauma). And by rapid, we mean about five or six punches in the span of a second, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown for several seconds, all hitting with full force.]]
** By the end of it, the last fighter standing against Ip Man is clearly in panic barely holding his ground and with not even a hint of an idea on how to approach his opponent. Three guesses on how this ends and the first two doesn't count.
** Even better, it was established in an earlier scene with his son that he hasn't been practicing that much since the Japanese takeover. This means that he was essentially 'rusty' (for lack of a better word) during his fight with the ten black belts, and he ''still'' kicked their asses like no one's business.
* During the final fight in the first movie with General Miura, Ip Man managed to corner his opponent to a pillar. The next scene can be described as the ultimate text book ass kicking, wing chun style, where the flashback scene of Ip training with the wooden dummy is cut in between him going to town with the General's ass. Cue the combo meter racking up really quickly as Ip shows the General what wing chun combos are about.
** To really cement how much of a CurbStompBattle this is, Miura manages to land exactly [[spoiler: ''two'']] clean hits on Ip during the entire fight. Of course, he is also the only one in the film who manages to [[spoiler: hit Ip ''at all''.]]
* Li Zhao [[spoiler:killing Sato by [[KarmicDeath aiming his own gun at his neck]].]]

* The Round Table Fight:
** When Ip Man casually ascends onto the table, the other masters dismiss him as lacking style and unintimidating. He proceeds to prove them wrong.
** Ip Man handily defeats both Master Law and Master Cheng before facing Master Hung.
** Master Cheng actually puts up an impressive fight, showing incredible dexterity and being able to briefly restrain and disorient Ip Man at one point. When Cheng does lose, [[GracefulLoser he loses gracefully]].
** Ip Man vs. Master Hung:
*** Hung ascends by ''flipping a chair onto another chair, jumping onto it, and onto the table.''
*** The sheer ferocity with which the two fight. Seeing this, it's hard to tell that [[spoiler:Master Hung has asthma.]]
*** The RapidFireFisticuffs struggle.
*** The final casualty is the table they stand on. It is neatly broken into two semicircles. Each half is inverted, and then reused as a platform.
* The final fight between Ip Man and Twister.
** He's an evil SOB but let's give The Twister his due. Defeating Master Hung and then giving Ip Man the fight of his life, despite using only his fists ''and'' wearing boxing gloves earns him some major badass cred. In fact, during the fight he sho s some impressive footwork do dodge some of Ip's kicks, block some of Ip's attacks with blocks unrelated to boxing, and shrugs off a barrage of punches to the back of his head, a move which is banned in most martial art competitions.
** The very final bout between Ip Man and Twister, after Ip Man is knocked down yet again, recalls [[HeroicSecondWind Hung's motivations for fighting]] and [[spoiler: gets back up to curbstomp Twister]]. Despite struggling throughout most of the fight and being unfairly forced to modify his fighting style in the last round, Ip Man [[spoiler: uses his head and figures out ''how'' to fight Twister: attacking his arms, or more specifically his biceps. He then hands Twister a [[CurbStompBattle completely one-sided fight]], beating him to a pulp and not letting him get a single hit in. Plus there's also him targetti g Twister's ears and using a couple of Master Jung's moves]]. Good thing Ip Man's a nice guy...

* When Ip Man and Master Hung fight, the casualty is the table they stand on. It is neatly broken into two semicircles. Each half is inverted, and then reused as a platform.
* The final fight between Ip Man and Twister, especially when Ip Man is knocked down yet again, recalls [[HeroicSecondWind Hung's motivations for fighting]] and [[spoiler: gets back up to curbstomp Twister.]]
** He's an evil SOB but let's give The Twister his due. Defeating Master Hung and then giving Ip Man the fight of his life, despite using only his fists ''and'' wearing boxing gloves earns him some major {{badass}} cred.

* Ip Man's three one on one set-piece fights are excellent metaphors for the stripping away of Ip Man's head-in-the-clouds attitude through the course of the movie. Ip Man's first fight with Master Liu is not serious at all, and almost a silly game. Master Liu and Ip Man are friends, both take care not to harm the other, and they call off points against each other. Ip Man's wife doesn't approve - it's a silly game and someone could get hurt. His second fight with Master Jin is more serious, as Jin loses his temper and starts trying to hurt Ip Man; Ip Man doesn't like this at all, and isn't used to this. His wife by now is telling him to stop mucking around and ''end'' the fight when everything in the house is being destroyed. Finally, with General Miura, he's gone through a lot, and he's finally realised that his martial arts aren't a game any more - they're personal defence and a deadly art. He's seen what treating it all as a stupid game gets you - a dingy dojo where a man will die for a sack of rice. This fits with his own martial art - Wing Chun is a self-defence martial art and is designed to end the fight as quickly and as brutally as possible. Now, he just unleashes it all - and teaches General Miura a lesson about the need to be practical with your life, just as he has been taught by the years of the occupation. Of course, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown General Miura's lesson has been condensed into two minutes.]]
* The fight where Ip Man goes up against ten of the Japanese Karate black belts. This is the first time you see him fighting without concern for the health or safety of the other guy, and holy crap, does it show.

** Even better, it was established in an earlier scene with his son that he hasn't been practicing that much since the Japanese takeover. This means that he was essentially 'rusty' (for lack of a better word) during his fight with the ten black belts, and he ''still'' kicked their asses like no one's business.

* The fight where Ip Man goes up against ten of the Japanese Karate black belts. This is the first time you see him fighting without concern for the health or safety of the other guy, and holy SHIT does it show. This troper felt both awestruck and a little sick to his stomach watching, especially as he noticed that Ip Man wasn't just incapacitating these people, he was crippling them potentially for life. Hip dislocation/fracture, anybody? The exact thought passing through my mind... "This is what someone who knows what they're doing can do to someone when they want to... damn good thing martial artists are trained not to do that."
** This fight starts off with Ip Man catching a dude out of the air, slamming him on the ground, and stepping directly on his head. Very much a "fuck" moment.

* During the final fight in the first movie with General Miura, Ip Man managed to corner his opponent to a pillar. The next scene can be described as the ultimate text book ass kicking, wing chun style, where the flashback scene of Ip training with the wooden dummy is cut in between him going to town with the General's ass. Cue the combo meter racking up really quickly as Ip shows the General what wing chun combos are about.
