The fictional character of Chen Zhen – previously made famous by Bruce Lee in Fist of Fury (1972), Jet Li in Fist of Legend (1994) and Donnie Yen in both a 90’s Hong Kong TV show and in Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen (2010), is once again proving that Chinese are not “the sick men of Asia.”
Directed by Scott Ma Zhongxuan (who served as one of the action directors in 2000’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Chen Zhen Legend (or Legend Chen Zhen) stars Li Hao, Cai Xinru, Bell Jin, Waise Lee (A Bullet in the Head) and Huang Ziyao.
According to press releases, Chen Zhen Legend does not rely on cool special effects and flowers and fists, does not use substitutes, and focuses on the charm of traditional Chinese kung fu, in order to achieve a higher visual enjoyment for the audience (via CZX).
