Legend of the Fist: Return of Chen Zhen
- Playing the hero first portrayed by Bruce Lee in Fist of Fury, Donnie Yen reprises his own performance as Chen Zhen in this breakneck kung fu thriller set in Shanghai during its occupation by the Japanese in World War II. Seven years after his supposed death, legendary fighter Chen Zhen resurfaces in the city in disguise. He immediately begins settling old scores -- with both the Japanese and the Chinese mafia who've been cooperating with them.

There's too much lustrous-hued loitering and too few martial-arts set pieces. This isn't another disposable B movie, though. full review
David Edelstein, New York MagazineUsing not one but two world wars as backdrops, Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen is an exhilarating kung fu romp. full review
Mark Jenkins, NPRThe result is disappointing. full review
V.A. Musetto, New York PostIt's generally fun to watch Mr. Yen move and not much fun to watch him act, and "Legend of the Fist" is no exception. full review
Mike Hale, New York TimesAlthough "Legend of the Fist" is slick, stylish and assured, it is also bloated and hollow, and seemingly without much sense of what actually is working. full review
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles TimesAnyone who's seen a martial-arts picture expects a certain amount of thumb-twiddling between the big numbers, but director Andrew Lau's handling of exposition is markedly poor. full review
