LEGEND OF THE FIST: THE RETURN OF CHEN ZHEN
Playing out of competition on the Opening Day of the Venice Film Festival, to mark the 70th Anniversary of Bruce Lee's birth, LEGEND OF THE FIST: THE RETURN OF CHEN ZHEN is a martial arts spectacular. In 1972, it was Bruce Lee. In 1994, it was Jet Li. In 2011, international superstar DONNIE YEN (Hero, Kill Zone) takes up the heroic mantle of martial arts legend Chen Zhen. Directed by Andrew Lau (the Infernal Affairs trilogy) and featuring some of the most breathtaking martial arts fighting ever caught on camera, LEGEND OF THE FIST is an unmissable slice of epic action. During the war, Chen Zhen was a hero. In the tempestuous years that followed, he became a legend. Shanghai of the 1920s is an exciting but ruthless place to be, as the Japanese enforce their expansionist ideals on the beleaguered country by any means necessary. One man decides to take a stand against injustice by becoming a masked avenger and using all of his explosive martial arts skills to dismantle the evil that is besetting his beloved country.
