Cine Asia have announced the UK DVD and Blu-Ray releases of 'Tai Chi Master' for the 26th April 2010. The film sees action superstars Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh teaming up with celebrated action-director, Yuen Woo-ping, to deliver one of the most kinetic and inventive martial arts adventures of all time.
Synopsis
Two orphans are raised in the legendary Shaolin Temple, and grow to become the greatest fighters of their generation. As a barbaric regime tightens its grip on the empire, each will choose a different path. One, played by Jet Li, will fight for the freedom of his people; the other, played by Chin Siu-ho ('Fist of Legend'), will exercise ruthless ambition on his barbaric rise to power. When a fearless female freedom-fighter (Michelle Yeoh) is captured and condemned to death, the two men will meet on the battlefield for one last life-or-death confrontation.
