Summary: A turbo-charged remake of the Bruce Lee classic
Review: While the basic storyline is unchanged, this modern remake of the Bruce Lee classic Chinese Connection (aka Fist of Fury) takes all the elements to the max. The fights are much more "realistic" - fast and furious. Jet Li is in his element here (little more needs to be said of somebody who is good enough to be the national martial arts champion 5 times in a nation of 1 billion people). I especially liked it that the bad guy Jet Li fights in the finale is far more brutal and menacing than the mustachioed warrior Bruce fights at the end of the Chinese Connection. Anybody who enjoys modern martial art movies should have The Iron Monkey, Once Upon A Time in China II, and this one in their collection.

Summary: Jet Lis Best
Review: This was an amazing good movie, for being a remake. Jet Li does what he do best: Fighting. lots of it. Too bad they dubbed things wrong, but as a martial arts movie its the best ive seen. One more good thing is that Jet Li starred in this movie because he wanted to do one more beliveable and without wirework. (Instead of once upon a time in china, where he can fly sometimes.)

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST MARTIAL ARTISTS OF ALL TIME!!!
Review: First,I must say that there will never be another Bruce Lee.He had qualities everyone should strive for.While Jacky Chan has always been a top action/martial arts star,people are starting to see Jet Li's awesome abilities as well.I saw this movie just the other day on t.v.,and was floored by Jet's fighting.I rushed out the next day and bought the d.v.d.I admit I never have seen Jet Li until his American debut as the villian in Lethel Weapon 4.I was impressed with his screen presence and martial arts abillity.I loved Kiss Of The Dragon and The One,but Fist Of Legend has to be his best film. Now,I'm going to see all of his movies,past and present.

Summary: Why Dubbed? Why Dubbed?
Review: Dubbing has ruined this movie. I will definately return it. All of the good lines have been changed from the subtities and they are all for the worst. Also all of the intensity in the sound is lost as well. You are better off getting the VHS with subtitles.

Summary: Fist of Legend
Review: The original Fist of Legend scored a perfect 5 stars, but this new released version doesn't deserve anything because of its dodgy dubbing, 10 mins of footage edited out and re-done music soundtrack which I'm afraid doesn't cut the mustard.
Watch the real thing by buying cheaper bootleg DVD's or downloading it off the net for free.

Summary: Jet Li's best film
Review: Who better to pay homeage to the Master Bruce Lee than Jet Li. He rises to the challenge and delivers the action with grace and style like only he can do it. The last fight scene between himself and Billy Chow will leave you mesmerized. This is a movie for your collection and you will want to watch it over and over again

Summary: for the record
Review: This is a great movie. Watch it! I'd like to make a correction to the Amazon editorial review. This movie (Fist of Legend) is based on the Bruce Lee movie "Chinese Connection". However, "Chinese Connection" is NOT the same movie as "Fist of Fury"... They are actually two completely different Bruce Lee movies.

Summary: Dimension [Stinks]
Review: First off, let me say this movie rocks! I am giving this movie one star because Dimension changed it from the original. If you can get a copy of the original (it's not easy. I had a friend ship me one from Hong Kong), you'd realize when Dimension dubbed over the audio with english, they made big changes from the original. This has the overall effect of changing the plot and the ending (they cut footage and changed the ending). The DVD does add huge improvements to the quality of the picture (if all you want is to watch the fighting then get the DVD), but it's not worth the lamer plot (Imagine if Morpeous and Neo were always angry at each other when you switched the language setting over to Spanish). Just so you guys know...

Summary: Not Bruce Lee, but the next best thing.
Review: I know, I know, it's almost blasphemous to say that this movie even gets close to topping the greatness of Bruce Lee's orginal Chinese Connection, but I have to say it does! I rented this movie once on a whim a couple of years ago when a friend of mine and I were having a martial arts movie night, and what I witnessed on that DVD was pure, raw, kung-fu and karate action! The Fist of Legend is a sort of unofficial remake of(you guessed it) the Chinese Connection. This movie really shows off the talent of the young martial artist, Jet Li, whose movies in the United States have done him no justice and, in my opinion, nearly blemished his career. Take all that "Romeo Must Die" and "The One" crap, toss it out the window, and watch this movie with a fresh look on Jet Li, and you will understand what I'm talking about. No one can deny that Bruce Lee executed the Chinese Connection perfectly, however The Fist of Legend falls short of that only by a hair.
Jet portrays a college student in Japan named Chen Zen who gets word that his master in China has died. He drops his studies and hops over to China for his master's funeral, but when he arrives he smells corruption lurking behind the strange and untimely death, which was after a martial arts duel against a karate dojo-master of lesser talent. Things begin to heat up when Chen Zen discovers that his shambled kung-fu school is only the tip of the iceberg, and the military is involved with his master's slaying. Billy Chau plays a military general bent on squandering Chen Zen's attempts at unearthing the truth, and it's an all out battle-royale! The movie consists of several explosive and lengthy action sequences that leave you thirsting for more. The final battle between Jet Li and Billy Chau is a hardcore deathmatch that lasts nearly ten minutes long! Phenomenal is the only word I can use to describe this high-flying martial arts frenzy by Yuen Woo Ping, and although it doesn't top the Bruce Lee version, it may be the next best thing. Die-hard martial arts fans need not bother with renting this movie prior to viewing, for you will not be disappointed! Purchase your copy of The Fist of Legend today and experience what others are raving about!

Summary: A Very Good Martial Arts Movie
Review: The movie is set during the Japanese occupation of China and it revolves around Chen Zen, a Chinese Kung Fu student who was in Japan studying. At school he meets a girl, Mitsuko and they develope feelings for each other. But before he can follow his feelings he must avenge the death of his master in China. He realizes during his quest that his former Kung Fu school is in ruins and his hopes of being with Mitsuko might be dashed because he must protect his school... They are happy but fate drives Chen Zen back to what he must do, avenge his master and save his school. Can he do it? Will love win out? Will his brother betray him? Many questions evolve as the movie goes on. Of great interest were the varying fighting styles that drove this movie. The fight scenes were outstanding. Making this an instant martial arts classic.
