Mpaa Rating : R Genre :Drama,Action & Adventure,Art House & International,Mystery & SuspenseLegendary Kung Fu hero Chen Zhen is an iconic cultural mainstay in China and Hong Kong, having spawned both record-breaking feature films and a TV series. Over the years, martial arts legends such as Bruce Lee (FIST OF FURY) and Jet Li (FIST OF LEGEND) have played the popular hero. In LEGEND OF THE FIST: THE RETURN OF CHEN ZHEN, Donnie Yen continues this rich historical legacy, but with a brand new take on the urban legend. In 1920s China, the nation is divided by infighting. Japan has become the most powerful force in Asia, taking over Northern Shanghai. With the city torn in half by international conflict, the popular nightclub "Casablanca" has become a hotbed of spies, mobsters, English officials and the Japanese military- all looking to gain control of the country, with little regard for what happens to its citizens. Into this den of intrigue enters Chen Zhen (Donnie Yen), who has returned to China after fighting alongside the Allied forces in Europe, bringing some dark secrets from his past along with him. During the day, he's known as "Ku", and appears to be just another wealthy playboy. But at night, he takes to the street as a masked warrior, determined to subvert the Japanese invasion while becoming entangled with the sultry Kiki (Played by Shu Qi), who has a dangerous secret of her own. When his past catches up to him, Zhen is faced with near impossible odds- but his skills are formidable, and he's up to the challenge. Combining the best of today's martial arts and superhero action with the classic spy thrillers of the past (and a healthy dollop of film noir on top), LEGEND OF THE FIST is the rare action film that truly gives the audience something they've never seen before. --(c) Variance

New Trailer For Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen

Special Review For Movie Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen
There's too much lustrous-hued loitering and too few martial-arts set pieces. This isn't another disposable B movie, though.David Edelstein-New York Magazine
It's all a big cinematic jumble and, quite frankly, an expensive-looking mess.
Doug Knoop-Seattle Times
Using not one but two world wars as backdrops, Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen is an exhilarating kung fu romp.
Mark Jenkins-NPR
The result is disappointing.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post
It's generally fun to watch Mr. Yen move and not much fun to watch him act, and "Legend of the Fist" is no exception.
Mike Hale-New York Times
Although "Legend of the Fist" is slick, stylish and assured, it is also bloated and hollow, and seemingly without much sense of what actually is working.
Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
Adroit editing, camerawork and staging keep in step with Yen's formidable martial arts mastery, showcasing a talent on par with Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
Jay Antani-Cinema Writer
The movie only really comes to life when there's fighting on screen, which is unfortunate, if not entirely unexpected.
Jeremy Heilman-MovieMartyr.com
... a colorful and largely incoherent mess, less a movie than a collection of cannibalized ideas stitched together into something resembling a plot.
Sean Axmaker-Parallax View
A heady blend of spy thriller, period piece political drama and martial arts action flick that reaffirms star Donnie Yen's quiet, universal charisma.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com
Fight sequences and jingoism propel Andrew Lau's period martial-arts melodrama, a formula that can be irresistible despite one's better judgment.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix
The calm, determined presence of Yen (following in the footsteps of Bruce Lee and Jet Li) pulls it all together, with major help from cinematographer-turned-director Andrew Lau Wai-Keung.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
What appears to be going on behind the scenes is a distinctly anti-Japanese/anti-English nationalistic fervor disguised as historical action slugfest.
Marc Savlov-Austin Chronicle
A film with more ambition than coherence.
Daniel Eagan-Film Journal International
There is a scene in the movie that is so visceral, it will make you forget about the high-flying silliness. That's the Donnie Yen I was waiting to see.
Christopher Smith-Bangor Daily News (Maine)
Too bad the film surrounding the fight scenes is there to be tolerated rather than fully enjoyed.
Ethan Alter-NYC Film Critic
The first ten minutes of the film are basically just Chen Zhen single-handedly defeating the Germans and winning the war, and it's so jaw-droppingly good that it almost makes the rest of the movie feel like a let-down.
Drew McWeeny-HitFix
The fights are too brief and spaced out while the drama is an outright bore
Chris Cabin-Filmcritic.com
The film remains most engaging when it dispatches with narrative excess and focuses on the beautifully orchestrated mayhem.
Rob Humanick-Slant Magazine
It's the action that sells the movie, and thankfully Lau stays old school Hong Kong rather than modern-day Hollywood.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
