Character Posters for the Martial Arts Steampunk Film TAI CHI HERO
Here's a few character posters for the awesome looking steampunk style martial arts film Tai Chi Hero, which is the sequel to Tai Chi Zero. The films were shot back-to-back, and they look like a ton of fun. I still have yet to see the first one, but I'm excited about finally being able to watch both of them when the opportunity presents itself. Check out the 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.
Tai Chi Hero opens on April 26th. I've also included the trailer for the movie as well.
