Fist Of Legend (DVD)

The film is a remake of the Bruce Lee classic, Fist of Fury and is one of those remakes that equals, if not betters, the original. It is for me, Jet Li's best.

Great film let down by poor dubbing

Advantages: Great kung fu, good story, best Jet Li film
Disadvantages: English dubbing on the DVD

...of the Bruce Lee classic, Fist of Fury and is one of those remakes that equals, if not betters, the original. It is for me, Jet Li's best. He is perhaps best known in the West for his appearance in Lethal Weapon 4 and his starring role in Romeo Must Die. These are not however, his only blockbusters. He is VERY well known and held in equally high regard in Hong Kong and Asian cinema.

Fist of Legend (FoL) is set in Japan and China, during ...
...a disciple of a great martial arts master, the Chinese 'Fist of Legend' from Shanghai, but is studying in Japan at his master's request, so that he might learn about the Japanese as they really are, and not from the rumours and hearsay of the oppressed Chinese citizens.

From practically the very beginning, there is fantastic martial arts action. Jet Li's martial arts are the genuine article. He has won many national tournaments in ... more

Lightening quick martial arts

Advantages: Amazing fight scenes and choreography, superb martial arts and story
Disadvantages: English Subtitles

Fist of Legend is a 90's remake of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury. Jet Li plays the main role, and displays his world beating Wing Chun style in a succession of excellently choreographed fight scenes. The film starts out as it means to go on, with Jet Li taking on a group of racist Japanese martial artists who believe the Chinese should not be taught in their schools. A fight scene results, with Jet Li defeating the group of Japanese in a stunning manor. ...
...the Matrix was inspired by Fist of Legend. The fight scenes are in a similar style to the MAtrix, but instead of using Hollywood actors and special effects, Jet Li demonstrates his incredible Kung Fu skills. Aswell as the action, the story is also very good. Set in Shanghai at the turn of the century, Jet Li's character is out to avenge the death of his master, who was defeated unfairly in a contest after being poisoned. I would severely recommend ...

Fist Of Legend

Advantages: Very fast Kung Fu, interesting plot, Jet Li
Disadvantages: Laughable dubbing

Set in the year 1937 in Japan/China this modern remake of Bruce Lee's 'Fist Of Fury', starts out as it means to go on. It begins with Chen Zen (Jet Li) attending school in Japan, where he is attacked in class by the Japanese for being Chinese. This is one of the main plot lines in the film, the presence of Japanese troops in China, and the rivalry between the two. The first fight scene alone is enough to convince anyone who is interested in Kung ...
...amazing speed, and fighting not to hurt the opponants, but to stop them, dislocating joints for example so they can't fight. Throughout the film, there are different fight scenes, some 1-on-1, some 1 on many, some many on many, and each one is brilliantly choreographed. The fights with Li in especially, as he is so quick and as the film shows, unbeatable, each scene makes you smile and gasp in wonder, sometimes even laughing at the subtle jokes ...

Jet Li...A true martial artist at his best!

Advantages: A staggering performance and innate story!
Disadvantages: fight scenes slightly unrealistic but not over the top

Fist of legend is a remake of Bruce Lee's 'Fist of fury'. However this movie not only changes my perception on remakes it makes me want to watch remakes as opposed to originals. At first I was rather skeptical about this Jet Li movie...nevertheless,from the words lights camera action: there was alot of action. The genres swerve between historical aspects with reference to Japan and China during the 1930s (although historical inaccuracies occur as ...
...and Juliet' and the movie even reflected the genre of revenge analogous to that in William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'. The fight scenes are brilliant and so fast you might even have to play a scene again to see what actually happened. Jet Li shows why he is amongst the likes of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. However Jet Li not only demonstrates his boxing (fist) skills : he shows us trademark innovative Kung Fu mixed with Karate and the 'way of the samurai'. ...

A Modern Classic

Advantages: Fantastic Kung Fu action
Disadvantages: None!

Director Gordon Chan's 'Fist Of Legend' like all good remakes doesn't just do a rehash of the original - The storyline is expanded - Adding more ideas which weren't fully explored in Bruce Lee's 'Fist of Fury'. For a start this isn't you're typical China v Japan storyline - There are good and bad characters from both sides. The movie starts in Japan where Chen Zen (Jet Li) a China Man hears news of his master's death in Shanghai, Chen is a student ...
...in Shanghai - Chen immedietly leaves his Japanese sweetheart and heads for Shanghai. Leading to action and even mystery when we dicover that Chen's master was poisoned before his fight with a Japanese master. Chin Siu Ho co-stars as the the dead master's son who becomes the new master of his father's martial arts school - But friction develops when the students are amazed by Chen Zen and learn new fighting methods from him. These are just a few elements ...
