Overview

In legendary Chen Village, everyone is a martial arts master, using their powerful Chen Style Tai Chi in all aspects of their lives. Lu Chan has arrived to train, but the villagers are forbidden to teach Chen Style to outsiders, and do their best to discourage him by challenging him to a series of fights. Everyone, from strong men to young children, defeats him using their Tai Chi moves. But when a man from the village's past returns with a frightening steampowered machine and plans to build a railroad through the village at any costs, the villagers realize they may have no choice but to put their faith in Lu Chan... who has a secret power of his own.

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A stylized martial arts fantasy that blends steampunk excess with earnest training montages, mixing spectacular choreography with deadpan humor as an outsider earns his place in a village of masters.
