Verbatim Box Synopsis
"Tai-Chi Master" stars Donny Yen, a new young martial arts star with brilliant athleticism and technical skill.
A young man eludes the killer who murdered his father and brother, meets an eccentric showman / master of Tai-Chi and his fighting 250lbs wife, in the end faces the enemies out to kill him in a series of showdown fights.
The action's thrilling some-times while it's hilarious too. Stunts are choreographed in the style of an Indiana Jones adventure.
This new film is a must for the kung fu lover and action-movie fan.
