It is amazing how Jet Li manages to move like he does. The man is beautiful...and very cool of course. He is always good even if the stories sometimes are not :) This one is though!

Fist of Legend is a loose remake of one of Bruce Lee's most popular Chinese films, Fist of Fury (a.k.a. The Chinese Connection). The plot is basically the same, but some details differ greatly. Fist of Fury had a simple moral: The Japanese are bad. Set during a time when the Chinese were second class citizens in their own country, Bruce Lee's acts of defiance against the Japanese authorities were big crowd pleasers.
Jet Li's version of the story is a different take on the material. The only evil Japanese character in the whole film is Fujita, and Chen Zhen is a victim of discrimination, not from the Japanese, but from the Chinese of Shanghai because he has a Japanese girlfriend. Murder, intrigue, deception and most importantly, some of my most favorite fight sequences in all of the kung-fu movies I've seen. Each fight in the film gets better and better.

I love Jet Li's kick ass films. I have seen this film twice now and there is only one main thing I have to say about it and that is watch it with the subtitles. I seen the subtitled version quite a while ago and thought it was excellent. The action is as you would expect. Plot is never strong in films like this so don't expect too much but I have to say it is better than a few other films similar to this one. Then I heard recently that Channel 4 were showing it early in the morning. I don't sleep that much so this seemed like a pleasant alternative to doing nothing. It was the dubbed version they were showing though. I was gutted when I first realised. The film is just no where near as good with the dubbed voices. It looks odd and it becomes distracting. A highly recommended film if you're into this genre and if you've never really tried a film like this, then this film is a good place to start.

Said by many to be Jet's greatest film. Not for me. But it's Jet at his best doing what only Jet can.
The film's is based on Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury. -

Excellent action scenes from Jet Li in this remake of Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury". The only real disappointment is the lack of the original Chinese audio track in the DVD release.

Awesome. A very good remake of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury. Great martial arts sequences and stunts. The main storyline and theme are still the same, and it was explain even clearer than Fists of Fury.

MCT:November 28, 2007?Fist of Legend? is a Chinese kung-fu movie with Jet Li, and came in the middle of 90?s. Its story continues from where Fearless ended.
The movie has average entertaining value, and several good scenes. -

If possible, see if you can get a hold of the VHS version originally distributed by Tai Seng Video Marketing. This version has no dubbing, but does have deliciously bad English subtitles which offer a different plot and ending from the more widely available version. Some of the best martial arts choreography and cinematography in this or any other century.

Jet Li led remake of Fists of Fury that not only contains some brilliant fight sequences but also a story which you can really sink your teeth into.

This is a nice remake of Fists of Fury!!!
It's great to see Jet Li fight with Bruce Lee's style, and Jet Li's movement is even faster...Instead of Nanchaku,Jet Li used a belt as weapon in the last fight,and the effect is unexpectingly good...
regarding to the story, the main storyline and theme are still the same, and it was explain even clearer than Fists of Fury...
Chen Zhen did not died in the end and ready to fight more Japanese, and he fall in love with a Japanese girl....tats the main difference...
Anyway, this movie is still not as classic as Bruce Lee's version, eventhough they try to improve alot... -

I could not watch the entire film without laughing - not because it was mediocre, but some scenes were totally insane! Apart from the violence and 'Japan vs China' theme, there's a developing of a sweet love story
-
MCT:September 7, 2007I've seen many Jet Li movies, both Asian and American. This is probably the best one. There are no wires in the fightings. No matrix crap, no special effects. Just kickass action with Japanese and Chinese actors. The visuals are actually quite nice even though it's an old movie. The story too isn't dissapointing. There is even a little humor in it.

One of the best action movies of all time. If you only watch one period Jet Li movie then this should be the one.
