The Daily Grab 34: Steampunk Tai Chi

Stephen Fung merged steampunk, the "Wuxia" genre of Chinese martial arts movies, flairs of homage to Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and a pile of cameos into one of the most fun martial arts movies I've seen in a while. Tai Chi Zero hits Blu-ray on 22 January, with behind the scenes featurette, music videos, and trailers as extras. I'm including multiple grabs after the cut to show how nuts this thing is.

Our hero, "The Freak"

The use of these intros for cameos is great...

...like this one for Andrew (Not Andy) Lau.

Pilgrim-esque pop-up graphics are used occasionally, and are tactically employed to hilarious effect
