    They really don't make them like this anymore.

    Marvelous action and story - Jet Li movies usually have good plots.
  • May 4, 2007
    Once again, see the Hong Kong Version rather than the cut up American version.

    "Fist of Legend" is what I know this film to be called. Antway, expect to be surprised with Li's abilities and acting. The final fight scene is more hilarious than action-packed. The only thing lacking is the final fight scene's unconvincing special effects makeup.

    My all time favorite Kung-Fu movie hands down. Jet Li just dominates

    This was a good martial arts film. The story is decent but the fight scenes are excellent. Watch this if you like martial art films.
