Chen Zhen, a Chinese engineering student in Kyoto, who braves the insults and abuse of his Japanese fellow students for his local love Mitsuko Yamada, daughter of the director, returns in 1937 to his native Shangai, under Japanese protectorate - in fact, military occupation - after reading about the death of his Kung Fu master Hou Ting An in a fight against the Japanese champion Ryuichi Akutagawa. While overcoming suspicion and ambition within the Kung Fu school, Chen exhumes his master to prove Hou's defeat was the result of poisoning. Both nationalities make the case a test of honor, so Chinese and Japanese pride are at stake when it culminates in Chen's final epic duel against the ruthless, undefeated Japanese general Fujita.

I see why this movie is a classic! The fighting scenes are simply amazing and would make the movie worth it alone. If anyone liked Ip Man 1, this is the movie for them. I thought the plot was interesting, and more nuanced than other movies: we see Japanese characters opposed to the war against China, and of course, the forbidden romance between a Chinese and a Japanese. I also found it interesting that Jet Li’s character, who studied in Japan, incorporates techniques from boxing and other martial arts. He embodies both innovation and respect for tradition. A real treat for kung fu fans!
