Fist of Legend

It’s one of the best martial arts movies I’ve seen in quite a while

I'm sure some people have made the connection already but I think I'd just point it out now and say that Fist of Legend is pretty much a fictitious sequel to the turn of events that occur in Fearless, the story about Huo Yuanjia and how his death turned up as a explosive dilemma in Chinese culture during that time and this movie runs about the same era... if not the SAME story. Where I'm getting at is that the story of Fist of Legend is that a martial arts student, Chen Zen, of the Jingwu Federation finds out their master has been killed in a comptetition... Jingwu was founded by Huo Yuanjia himself and when Chen Zen fights the Japanese man who fought supposedly fought Chen's master, he even says he'll fight the Sensei with the Huo fist, his master's fist. HUO YUANJIA's style. There are some strange connections that lead up by connecting the two movies but if you make the distinctions clear enough to understand, they do match up, which was pretty neat. Other evidence that follows up that Fist of Legend is a presumable sequel is when Chen Zen goes to pay respects to his dead master, there at the temple is the picture of Huo Yuanjia. Seriously. Alright aside from tid-bitting self-produced facts and such, Fist of Legend is a movie that's timeless to Jet-Li's other performances. I only wish I could find an english subtitled version of this movie or something because the dubbing does NOT serve it justice! I won't knock its rating down just for dubbing, that'd be a shame to do because everything else about the movie is fantastic. Action sequencing is profoundly neat, that mediocre type of filming chinese movies seem to use for a broad majority of their films is actually quite good in this one, not quality, but by execution and performances really get you in to know each character and who they stand as. I can't think of a reason why anyone wouldn't get this movie if they're a big kung fu movie buff, action movie lover or Jet-Li fanatic, or someone who just wants some unique exposure to these realms. Fist of Legend is definitely a reamarkable piece of work and entertainment.

hard to find Jet Li movie and I love it

amazing... jet li at his prime !!! jet li is amazing... the other martial artists are also truly phenomenal. the "english" version is very good... the "chinese" version is interesting because there is lots of "japanese" too. this film goes with "fearless" and both movies and stories are great!!!

They definitely don't make movies like they used to... that includes martial arts flicks as well. But for a brief period of time they were extremely good. That was when Jet Li was at his best. Now the movies have too much special effects which takes away from the the plot, drama, humor, etc. The reason why we used to run in the house & anxiously wait in front of the TV for those Saturday afternoon classics @ 3 o'clock. Jet Li was the last to bridge that gap between that era & the new martial arts generation. Don't get me wrong, I think Donnie Yen has definitely taken the torch passed on by Jet Li. Fist of Legend for those who don't know was a remake of Bruce Lee's classic Fist of Fury. Not too many people can pull off a such an ambitious project. The thing about this movie that makes it special is the humor mixed with incredible martial arts, and I don't mean that Jackie Chan type of humor. Jet Li pulls off not only a worthy remake, but a classic in its own rite. Check out most if not all of his earlier films from the 90' s to fully appreciate what a classic this truly is.

Awesome fights and an excellent china vs. japan story

Good movie.

Technically, "Fist" is a remake of Bruce Lee's "Chinese Connection", but most specifically in its fight scenes-- the themes of racism and its self-destructiveness are greatly expanded and more complexly presented in the Li version. But those fight scenes! The setups and even some of the action are virtually identical, creating the opportunity to directly compare the two superstars' interpretations of on-screen action. Here, a LOT of credit has to be given to Lee, who really originated the application of dance-oriented techniques such as personal pace, rhythm, and flow to put his unique stamp on the action. Li, on the other hand, had the inspired choreography of Yuen Woo Ping ("The Matrix" martial arts director) to rely on. Both men deliver spectacular results on-screen, but if one is to rely on Bruce's dictum that "emotional content" is everything when delivering a punch, then Jet actually comes out ahead in the comparison: there are times when Bruce appears to be in danger or faltering during a battle, but that combination of fury and disdain he exudes makes all his opponents seem inferior and bound to lose; Jet, meanwhile, seems much more likely to fall, until his "emotional content" rises to the occasion. Bruce wins with the "Shock and Awe" approach, Jet wins with stealth and inventiveness, but the real winner is the audience who gets to experience both of these incredibly gifted performers in their primes.

First i am a jet Li fan and i have quite a few of is movies as far as i am concern he is one of the best when it comes to martial art movies...

本作をHD画質で観るならコレでしょうか オススメは広東語バージョンです。 日本国内既発のバージョンと同じなので違和感無しです。 倉田さん本人の吹き替えが入ってますよ

Thank u very much movies

This is an awesome movie with Jet Li and probably one of the best. I love the setting, style and characters, all of them! The movie is basically a remake of Bruce Li's Chinese Connection and follows the same popular version of a master of Jing Woo school getting poisoned. His student returns to China from Japan to uncover the truth and bring revenge on the ones who killed his master
