Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen: Film Review

10:05 PM PDT 10/14/2010 by Natasha Senjanovic

"Legend of the Fist" is good fun, a popcorn movie of epic proportions for kung-fu fans.

VENICE -- Although one expects more from producer Gordon Chan and director Andrew Lau of the Infernal Affairs trilogy -- which Martin Scorsese remade into The Departed -- Legend of the Fist still is good fun, a popcorn movie of epic proportions for kung fu fans.
The film feels tailored to Western palates -- sure there's violence, but it's toned down by Hong Kong standards, and even the fighting is cut back.
