Though they’ve been overshadowed by heroes of the super variety lately, folk heroes and their nearly mythic exploits are like Shakespeare: there’s always room for reinterpretation and reinvention. This is certainly a cooler, sexier Wong Fei Hung—one with oiled up pecs and rippling abs—but Chow and screenwriter Christine To are careful with just how modern they get.
