Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Huo Yuanjia is a genuine folk hero in China, with over 30 film and TV adaptations since 1972. This version emphasizes his political awakening, not just his fists.
Vincent Zhao famously played Huo Yuanjia once before in 2001's 'The Legend of Fong Sai-Yuk'—this is his return to the role nearly 20 years later, now playing the mentor instead of the student.
