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.
