Review of Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen (2010) by Jim G — 22 Jul 2011
A 60% rating for the English dubbed HK Kung Fu movie "Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen". The urban legend (in China) of Chen Zhen has a rich history in the movies played by Bruce Lee and Jet Li in earlier movies (Lee and Li are two of my favorites).
Rich production values bring this movie alive though set in China (Shanghai) in the 1920's. In respect to the American classic movie Casablanca, the key setting is the night club Casablanca including a couple of scenes lifted from the American classic (the French and Germans singing their national anthem; in this case a Japanese song is "sung down" by a Chinese song).
Well acted, amazing fight scenes specially the finale battle. The dubbing was acceptable. I do recommend this movie.
