Character Features
During the premiere of Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen in September 2010, Donnie Yen was asked by reporters on how different his character was in comparison to the earlier versions of Chen Zhen. Yen replied that there were significant differences, and gave his definition of the character - "Chen Zhen is Bruce Lee". He said that the image of Chen Zhen was crafted by Lee in Fist of Fury (1972), and further explained that certain features of his character were inherited from Lee's, such as the white Mao suit worn by Chen Zhen and the use of nunchaku, but still there were differences in movements and overall character design between his Chen Zhen and Lee's. Since Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen pays tribute to Bruce Lee, Yen decided to retain the white Mao suit and the use of nunchaku, as well as repeating Chen Zhen's famous line, "The Chinese people are not sick men of the east!" (中國人不是東亞病夫).
