In a brief flashback scene dating way back at one hundred years ago, we learn that Chen-style martial arts was made legendary by the 10th Grandmaster (Patrick Tse, in a heavy makeup) who had many students from all over the regions. He also reminds everyone why their Chen-style martial arts cannot be taught to outsiders like Yang Luchan. Zaiyang doesn't particularly agrees with her decision to marry Yang Luchan just because he saves her life in the previous movie. During the wedding ceremony, Yuniang's elder brother Zaiyang (Feng Shaofeng) and his wife (Nikki Hsieh) make their sudden appearance. Picking up where the last movie left off, we learn that Yang Luchan (Jayden Yuan) is now preparing to marry Yuniang (Angelababy). Even though TAI CHI HERO has lowered down its geek culture references and focusing more on character-driven drama, this disappointing sequel remains lackluster from start till the end. The biggest question is: does this second installment improves considerably? Well, the answer is a big "NO". So here we are again - an immediate sequel titled as TAI CHI HERO which is shot back-to-back with the first movie. Instead it's a huge disappointment in all level. The highly-anticipated TAI CHI ZERO - a classic martial-art movie with a steampunk twist, was supposed to be a turning point in the well-worn genre.
