I’ll keep this as brief as possible so as not to spoil anything for those of you who may not have seen Tai Chi 0 yet; this being the second part of a very unique, live action, series. Tai Chi Hero is... (Skip the red text if you don’t want to know)...



Synopsis...
“Lu Chan (Jayden Yuan) is still trying to find his place in Chen Village, the legendary town where everyone is a martial arts master…and Chen-style Tai Chi is forbidden to outsiders. But since he helped save the town from a frightening steam-powered machine, Yuniang (Angelababy), beautiful daughter of Grandmaster Chen (Tony Leung Ka-Fai), agrees to marry Lu Chan and bring him into the family.  It’s only a formality, though – she is the teacher, and he is the student – and that suits Lu Chan just fine, as the mutant horn on his head gives him incredible kung-fu power, but leaves him dumber each time, and closer to death.

Chen Village still stands in the shadow of danger. A prodigal brother returns, Lu Chan’s presence invokes a curse on the town, and Yuniang’s scorned fiancée has an appetite for revenge, as well as some new partners in crime.

The second in a trilogy from the creators of Ip Man and Detective Dee, and featuring action directed by the legendary Sammo Hung, TAI CHI HERO is a full-on, steampunk-infused, video game-influenced kung fu throwdown that will knock you out of your seat.”

Now clearly these are not films that will easily suit every type of viewer; but if you like your films a little on the strange side, or with the kind of story you only tend to get in anime  maybe you should give this a try. If not make sure you watch Detective Dee: Mystery of the Phantom Flame. That film is defiantly worth your time and has more 'mass market' appeal.
