Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Great movie ...
Review: ... ruined by bad dubbing. Unfortunately there is there is nothing in the Amazon listing or even on the DVD case indicating that this is dubbed. A nasty trick to play on buyers who prefer the original language.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: very good
Review: a good movi

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not even worth bothering with
Review: After I saw Fong Sai Yuk, I thought that it came very close to being the best Jet Li movie ever, challenged only by Swordsman 2 and Tai Chi Master. The Legend can hardly be viewed as the same film as Fong Sai Yuk. The picture quality is excellent, just as it was for the Twin Warriors/Tai Chi Master release.

Yet the same major problem with Twin Warriors is present here, and it is so much worse.

Firstly there are some edits. Some of these are small and there is no logical reason why it should have been cut. Some cuts are major that spanned minutes of the original movie.

The second is the main reason I would give this movie zero stars if that were possible. NO ORIGINAL LANGUAGE TRACK. This sin is unforgivable. To compound this error, the English actors don't know what they are doing. They seem to be confused and sound serious in the comedic moments, and vise versa. I fail to see how the publisher could justify this, especially when the original track exists, all they would have to do is put it on the DVD.

Overall there is no reason to buy this movie, especially when the Chinese version is region free and subtitled in English. Do a little searching ..to find it (zshops or auctions work well). Please do not support this.. of a good movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining
Review: As a mama's boy, Jet is always getting himself out of trouble. Not this time. He entered a martials arts contest and ended up with a wife. However, his father's rebel activities disrupt his plans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best martial arts comedies of all time.
Review: As with most li lan jay (jet li) films the fight coreography is of the highest quality. The film starts off depicting the ferociously devastating techniques of the main villain.In the opening scene the villain captures an incoming punch; by bending it down at the wrist and pushing the wrist back forcibly, the opponents forarm bone becomes forced out of its socket thus protruding passed the elbow in a painful looking dislocation. The villain then proceeds to completely rip off another opponents face before riding away. While the skill of both Fong Sai Yuk and that of the villain are quite impressive, the interesting part of this movie is that his mom was an even more accomplished martial artist than Sai Yuk. With a funny and colorful story line packed with action Fong Sai Yuk & part 2 join The Tai Chi Master, Fist of Legend, The Once opon A Time In China Series and Drunken Master II as one of the more entertaining martial arts movies around.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: DVD RELEASE BY DIMENSION IS BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
Review: English dubbing is good with 5.1 Dolby. Sound effects editting is mediocre. Why can't they just leave the original sounds alone? I am huge fan of Jet and occasionally enjoy English dubbing on any martial arts movie. But this DVD version is a total turnoff! I highly recommend seeing the original version which is titled Fong Sai Yuk. You will not be disappointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great from start to finish
Review: Funny as all get out with the action to match. Starts light hearted, but when Sai-Yuk suffers a tragedy, you feel the rage and vengeance spilling forth from Jet Li. Great bad guy, and the mother is side splittingly funny. Great film. ....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great fighting scenes with mom (the lady is bad)
Review: Great comedy and action flick. Fell in love with Jet Li after seeing this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: [KICKS]!
Review: Great movie, get slow in the middle, but some of the fights are the best I've seen Jet do. Not as good as Fist of Legend or OuatiC, but then again, is anything?

Rating: 5 stars
