Check out the trailer for The Grandmaster Of Kung Fu, starring Dennis To as the legendary real life martial artist Huo Yuanjia. You may know of Huo Yuanjia as the master of the Chin Woo Athletic Association, the character Chen Zhen (played by Bruce Lee in Fist Of Fury / The Chinese Connection and Jet Li played in Fist Of Legend) attended when Huo died under mysterious circumstances. Jet Li went on to play Huo Yuanjia in... Huo Yuanjia (2006), also known as Fearless. This time Dennis To is playing him, and it looks like (based on what's seen in the trailer), he's doing him justice. Here's the synopsis:
Near the end of the Qing Dynasty, a renowned Chinese martial artist engages in a life-or-death battle with a feared Japanese military commander in order to prevent Japan’s ultimate goal of seizing martial arts stronghold Tianjin.
The Grandmaster Of Kung Fu is streaming now (as of November 4, 2022) on the HI-YAH! streaming service! Hopefully this gets a Blu-Ray release as well, because I really want to watch this one!
