Jackie Chan serves as executive producer of Wushu – The Young Generation, starring a group of young martial artists with the potential to be the next generation of Asian action stars. Director Antony Szeto (fantasy animation Dragonblade) helms this action-packed tale of martial arts students who must face a variety of challenges as they prepare to graduate. Leading the pack of newcomers are the talented duo of Wang Wen Jie and Liu Feng Chao, both of whom accompanied Jackie Chan to the Cannes Film Festival to help promote the film. Besides Chan, the pair get an assist from another martial arts legend, Sammo Hung, who plays an honorable wushu instructor and father to one of the boys.

Wushu teacher Li Hui (Sammo Hung) is looking to shepherd his two sons Li Yi (Wang Wen Jie) and Li Er (Wang Ya Chao) through school and into manhood. Li Yi is tipped to win a hotly-contested wushu competition, but he insists on performing his late mother’s signature move, which is so difficult that it could cost him the gold medal. His friends have their own trials to face, but darkness intrudes when former wushu prodigy He Le (Tie Nan) attempts to kidnap some of the wushu students, and Li Er is among the abducted. Along with Li Yi and student Yang Yaowu (Liu Feng Chao), Li Hui tracks down the villains to a secluded estate, where the teacher and his students must harness their formidable wushu training in order to save their friends and bring He Le to justice.

When he finds her new hiding place, however, he is warned away by her new manager, Man-deuk (Kim Suk-hoon) who has connections in the city’s underworld. One day, while still despondent without Seol-ji in his life, he accidentally knocks over and kills the boss of the Jjak-gwi gang. Before he knows it, because of his fighting skills Chun-doong becomes the replacement boss. Soon, there is a gathering of the region’s gang bosses at the bar where Seol-ji now works.
