Movie Reviews of Tai Chi Master
Movie Review: Jacky Wu and Yu Hai are back!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've seen Tai Chi 2 you know who Jacky Wu and Yu Hai are. Oddly enough, Tai Chi 2 didn't seem to have an originating film. Where the 2 came from I don't know.
Tai Chi Master is a compilation of a TV series starring both great martial artists. Yu Hai gets to show off his Tai Chi while Jacky Wu is a natural and learns Yu Hai's martial arts from watching. He gains such a high level of martial art skill that he realizes the philosophical aspects of the art and becomes wise for his age. A true Tai Chi master.
In this film Jacky Wu and Yu Hai aren't connected in any way, but their roles are so similar it will feel like the first movie that goes along with Tai Chi 2, even though the characters and plot are completely different.
Being able to see Jacky Wu and Yu Hai in action again is worth the money alone. As far as I know this is Jacky Wu's second film. Yu Hai, as you know, has a decent list of films... an established figure in martial arts movies. It's a shame he isn't in more films as good as he is. Watching him move is like watching art in motion.
I give this film 5 stars because Jacky Wu and Yu Hai are two of my favorite martial arts actors. Seeing them again is like coming home.
Movie Review: The Tai Chi Master

From the legendary action director of THE MATRIX trilogy, KILL BILL 1 and 2, and CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, Yuen Wo Ping, comes this epic kung fu adventure starring Jacky Wu (TAI CHI FIST, THE LEGEND OF ZU)! Wu is Yang, am ambitious martial artist who leaves home to learn Tai Chi. But Chan, the Tai Chi master, refuses to teach Yang because he is not a member of the Chan's family. With the help of Chan's dauighter, however, Yang was able to learn to learn Chan's Tai Chi secretly. When Chan is kidnapped by the ruthless Lord Tun (Billy Chow from Jet Li's FIST OF LEGEND), Yang must use his newly learned Tai Chi kung fu to defeat his formidable opponent, but not before he fights Lord Tun's seven kung fu masters first.Movie Review: What more can a fan want?
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has definitely moved into my top 10 movies of all time. A lot of people complain about the photography and how the movie is shot, but I love it. It makes the movie seen very real.
The acting is awesome, not too many corny actors and jokes no one really gets. I was blown away by the acting and the humor of the movie. The fight scenes in this movie take on a whole new high. The movie does a great job with giving you background education on Tai Chi.
I definitely love this more than the Jet Li version which is still good as well. If you are thinking about this movie think no longer and just get it, it is that good, so good I decided to give it my 1st review on Amazon.
Movie Review: The Best Mainland Series Now Available
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all this isn't the Jet Li version of the same title. It's actually the edited version of the "Master of Tai Chi" TV series that showed in Asia in 1997. With fight scenes done by the Yuen Clan, it's better than every effort they've ever done (that says a bunch, too). No doubt it's the best examples of Tai Chi ever seen on screen. I watched the whole 25 episode series in Chinese only (without understanding) and it was still highly enjoyable. Now it's finally availible in English and easier to find, even though cut down to two hours. Even for non Tai Chi fans, still here are the most intricate fight scenes ever put on film, as well as a great storyline without dragging too much.Movie Review: Top Notch MARTIAL ART Choreographing!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tai Chi Master, note this is not the theatrical version with JET LI and Michelle Yeoh. This tv/movie has some amazing choreographing that rivals most of the martial arts on film. One thing that I liked was it had less 'wire fu' than the traditional yuen wo ping movies. The condensed tv program paces very quickly into the action and doesn't stop. Besides the amazing Tai Chi that Jacky Wu displays, he goes into battle with all kinds of masters from various styles including a drunken master (reminds me of how kung fu video games stages are). A must for martial art movie fans!!!! Tai Chi II is also sweet!!!!
