Donnie Yen talks about fighting in Fist of Legend

A few days ago Donnie Yen wrote in his blog on sina.com.cn that creating a unique and new fight choreography for the action movie “Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen” is not an easy task due to the large number similar films. Thoughts about constructing fight scenes and creating movements were constantly spinning in his head. As a result, he even suffered from insomnia while filming.

Nunchaku and jumping kicks were mandatory in the Japanese dojo. In a bold move, he blended Jeet Kune Do and MMA to create creative yet practical fighting elements, hoping to pay homage to Bruce Lee. There is no such thing as an impossible task, you just need determination and willpower. This inspired Donnie Yen before, during and after filming.

After losing weight for Ip Man, he again had to quickly gain weight and take care of muscle growth. To keep himself in good physical shape, he had to wake up an hour earlier than usual and do a warm-up. Can a 46-year-old's health compare to a 31-year-old's? Maybe Donnie Yen is happy to say that he succeeded.

Speaking of acting, Donnie Yen had to completely forget about the humble, intelligent and well-mannered demeanor of a great master in order to play the role of a complex character with different personalities: a wily and unrestrained nightclub owner by day, a fair hero in a black mask at night, and at the same time remain the same person. he really is - an ardent revolutionary.

    Yes, otherwise all his films are only about fights, of course he does it super well, this is his trump card, but it would be interesting to see his other abilities in acting

    Donny would be better off now trying to act in regular films, about life, love, in scenes from everyday life, I think it would be great to see him in a different light

    Well, if we talk about pirates with one-voice songs, then they come out approximately after a couple of weeks of the first premiere.

    Well, this will premiere in the world on October 1, but I’m afraid it won’t appear in Russia soon!
