Action Star Tiger Hu Chen Gets A Kung Fu Initiation In The New International Trailer For MAN OF TAI CHI
No holds barred action, no referre and pure combat are what fans can expect in the storyline based on today’s much more definitive, beautiful, action packed trailer for Keanu Reeves‘ directorial debut, Man Of Tai Chi. You see Reeves and lead actor Tiger Hu Chen in his breakout English role as a Tai Chi master taking on the deadliest of underground fighters. Also, perhaps one of the bigger selling points of this trailer is that fans finally get to briefly see PT Merantau’s own Iko Uwais of The Raid-fame, in action.
SYNOPSIS:
In the midst of Beijing’s urban bustle, ambitious young ‘Tiger’ Chen Lin-Hu (Tiger Chen) works as a lowly courier; but after work, he is a young martial arts star, rising through the ranks representing the Ling Kong Tai Chi tradition.
He has crafted the stealthy, peaceful movements of Tai Chi and sculpted them to suit martial arts’ competitive fighting world. Jumping to another central city of pandemonium and chaos, Donaka Mark (Keanu Reeves) is evading the police in Hong Kong while running an underground fight club where cold hard cash is made by defeating one’s opponent in a no-holds barred fight privately broadcast to wealthy patrons.
Looking for a new ‘star’, Donaka tries to lure Tiger with the promise of easy money. Entrance into this world brings out the darkest side of Chen Lin-Hu, but he needs the cash. His skill saves him in the ring but can he fight and maintain his integrity and good nature?
