So did the Chinese really fought on French soil against the Germans in WW1?

Kato, my name.

The Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen is rather disappointing, maybe previous efforts on Chen Zhen have been cult classics. The 2010 version suffers from bouts of schizophrenia. It isn't sure what it wants to be. A superhero film or a martial arts period piece or really just a spy thriller? It could have developed into a cult superhero film, which was what I was hoping, especially with all the superhuman amazing fighting abilities of Chen Zhen. Character development is also weak. Donnie Yen's Chen Zhen is just a lean mean fighting machine, but you don't feel his loyalty to his country or his devotion to his master as well as Bruce Lee did in Fist of Fury and Jet Li in Fist of Legend. The former highlighted the plight of the bruised Chinese pride while the latter gave the Japanese a little more human touch.
