Nakon fenomenalnog Yip Mana iz 2008., i nešto slabijeg, ali još uvijek i više nego vrlo dobrog Yip Mana 2 iz 2010., u kojima je Azijska borilačka i glumačka zvijezda Donnie Yen igrao stvarnu povijesnu ličnost, odlučio je portretirati i jedan veoma popularan fikcijski lik iz Kineske kulture. Radi se o Chen Zhenu, heroju i majstoru borilačkih vještina kojeg su već ranije na filmu igrali i legendrani Bruce Lee u svom najboljem filmu Jing wu men aka Fist of Fury, te Jet Li u remakeu tog filma, Jing wu ying xiong aka Fist of Legend. No, ovo nije prvi puta da Donnie Yen tumači taj lik. On je naime već igrao Chen Zhena u Tv seriji “Fist of Fury” iz 1995. godine. A također valja spomenuti kako je snimljeno još nekoliko Tv serija sa Chen Zhenom kao gl. junakom. Režije ovog filma se prihvatio Andrew Lau, najpoznatiji po Infernal Affairs trilogiji, a koreografiju i režiju akcijskih/borilačkih sekvenci potpisuje sam Yen, dok scenarij pak potpisuje Gordon Chan koji je ujedno napisao i režirao već spomenuti remake “Fist of Legend”. Uz Yena od poznatijih imena/lica u filmu će još nastupati i Qi Shu koju ste imali prilike gledati u filmu The Transporter iz 2002., te Anthony Wong Chau-Sang. Film je do sada bio prikazan na mnogobrojnim festivalima kao što su Venice Film Festival i Toronto International Film Festival, a HK premijera se održala 23. rujna 2010, u Velikoj Britaniji 3. prosinca 2010., a američka premijera će se održati 22. travnja 2011.

While China is traumatized by military cliques during the Warlord Era in the 1920s, Shanghai is the cynosure of all eyes. People see it as both Hell’s Kitchen and Heaven’s Gate. One of the city’s most memorable heroes has to be Chen Zhen, who single-handedly avenges his mentor’s death by killing all the Japanese at a dojo in Hongkou, only to be showered with bullets while making his legendary flying kick. Vanished from the public eye ever since, he has been taken for dead though his body is never found. Seven years later, a wealthy entrepreneur called Koo returns from abroad and makes a grand entrance on the Shanghai social scene by befriending the notorious mafia boss of the city. This mysterious man is none other than Chen Zhen in disguise who dwells in a world of nefarious means in order to infiltrate the criminal empire. He soon discovers a clandestine collusion between the mafia and the Japanese. Disguised as a caped crusader at night, Chen sets out to dismantle with his martial arts skill the evil collusion that plagues the country. One of his foremost missions is to ferret out the assassination list prepared by the Japanese.
