Yuan Xiao Chao

Yang Lu Chan (Yuan Xiao Chao) is a bumbling wanderer with a strange affliction that once threatened his life. In order to solve the problem, he traveled to a small village full of martial artists in an attempt to learn their secret form of kung fu. They initially refused as they have promised never to teach an outsider. But after he helped them fight off Fang Zi Jing (Eddie Peng) and his wicked plans to build a railway through their village, the residents decided to take him in – provided he married Chen Yu Niang (Angelababy).

Regardless, the villagers still consider Yang Lu Chan to be something of a buffoon – particularly Chen Yu Niang, who insists that he call her “master!” But when Fang Zi Jing returns with a powerful military force, replete with heavily armed soldiers, a flying machine, and cannons backing him up, the village is once again under threat. The villagers realize that they need heroes to step up to the plate and fight back...or risk seeing their settlement wiped off the map forever. Do Yang Lu Chan and his master/wife Chen Yu Niang have what it takes to thwart this wicked scheme?

This film is the sequel to “Tai Chi Zero,” which featured many of the same characters and actors and was released in 2012.

“Tai Chi Hero” is a 2012 Chinese movie that was directed by Stephen Fung.

Tai Chi Hero

🥋Martial Artists Team 🥋

Yang Lu Chan (Yuan Xiao Chao) is a wandering oddball with a very strange talent that is also his curse: He has a small horn on his forehead that, if struck, grows and turns him into an unstoppable fighter capable of defeating an entire army. Unfortunately, each time this happens to him, he grows closer to death. This perilous situation means that a few more strikes to the horn could leave him dead. He decides that he needs to learn a powerful martial art that will let him safeguard his life.

His quest leads him to a small sleepy village whose residents all know a powerful secret form of kung fu. But the village has vowed never to teach their skills to an outsider. The whole settlement, including the village elder’s daughter Yu Niang (Angelababy), wants to send Yang Lu Chan away. But just as they think they have got rid of him, Yu Niang’s former lover Fang Zi Jing (Eddie Peng) arrives with a sidekick in a steam-power mechanical contraption. This fiendish duo plans to use this machine to build a railway that will pass straight through the middle of the city. The villagers decide to fight back – and Yang Lu Chan pledges to help!
