Summary: true classic.....
Review: im in high school...and i saw this movie when i was like 10 or 9....when it first came out..There are no exact word to describe the OUATIC series....they are all classics(maybe not the last one, Once upton a time in china/america). and this is the one that started it all. Jet Li plays ong Fei Hong, chinese folktale hero in 19th century...China was just opened for Foreigners so therefore there are French, American, and Germans at the Time. There are some great fights in this movie including wong fei hung vs master ? forgot his name, in the factory.
rumor has it that scene has inspired some scenes in The Musketeer(the recent one with chinese fight chreographer in it)....there are also some corny comedic performances as well...this movie...you should buy, 2nd......maybe u should see it before buyin it...3rd...cant realy say....4th one....not out in U.S but very good.....

Summary: Awesome fight scenes make this a must have for kung fu fans
Review: The first in a series of films about China's legendary Wong Fei Hong, played by Jet Li. Directed by Tsui Hark (China's Steven Spielberg), movie has excellent fight scenes. An essential movie for any kung fu fan.

Summary: Great movie. Bad dubbing. BAD BAD DUBBING.
Review: I've seen this movie dubbed before, but I don't think it was quite this bad. If it's possible to find a version with subtitles, go with that! Also, I just read in another review that this version is probably missing about 30 minutes of footage. As for the movie itself, it's amazing. Jet Li is gracefully fierce. The choreography is so good, it has been copied a million times by now. There's action, humor, and a (romantic) charm that never makes you want to vomit. THANK GOD. There's NO need for that in a kung fu movie.

Summary: One of the best
Review: First time I saw this movie (more years back than I'd like to think about!), I was floored! I grew up watching Kung Fu theater every Friday night 11PM, so I was always into HK movies. Back then Jackie Chan was my man, but this movie blew me away. The visual style of Tsui Hark teamed with the first coherent story I'd found in a HK flick was quite a surprise. Of course, it didn't hurt that Jet Li was cast as the famous Wong Fei Hong (my first introduction the the man). To this day the final fight scene still has new viewers of this movie reduced to wide eyed stares and grunts of disbelief. One note about that final fight though, it's my understanding that Jet Li broke his leg before the scene and that Xin Xin Xiong actually did all the tricky scenes on the ladders. If you look really close, you'll notice that during this scene, Jet Li's face is only shown a few times. Oh well....still a classic in my book.

Summary: Don't watch the dubbed version
Review: Feeling lazy and not wanting to read subtitles, I opted for the dubbed version when I watched this. At first I found it odd that this was a "special feature" and not just an audio track, but I later found out why. When the movie was over, I noticed that the time elapsed didn't match up with the time listed on the box. Turns out the dubbed version had over 30 minutes cut from it. I started watching the Mandarin version to see if I really missed anything, and found that a large part of the opening sequence that sets up a lot of the movie was within those lost 30 minutes. The movie itself was wonderful, and I fully intend to rewatch the full version. I just thought I should warn others before they make the same mistake I did.

Summary: Great audio commentary
Review: As far as audio commentary goes, Ric Meyers does a great job; very interesting and informative, and also quite funny at times. Even if you've seen the film a few times, time flies when you turn on the commentary (he doesn't stop talking for more than five seconds!). Recomended for that reason, but also it's a good film. I'd love to see this kind of thing on all the old Jackie Chan movies though...

Summary: Not Fist of Legend, but one of Jet Li's best!
Review: I actually like the story of this film better than the one in Fist of Legend because the atmosphere is much more majestic and fantasy like. Jet Li plays a very charismatic Wong Fei Hung. This is also sort of a historical film, so if you are not interest in period films than shows a bit about the past, this might not be the movie for you. The fight scenes are terrific with only one drawback: a lot of wires. Unlike Fist of Legend, the fighting is less hardcore and more elegent. The fight scenes in Fist of Legend are much more intricate and longer. Still, the fight in the rain scene is cool as heck, and the last ladder fight scene is eye candy to say the least.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is truly an excellent movie. It has excellent fights scenes good plot. Jet Li and Yuen Wo ping in their prime. i suggest this to anybody wether interested in kung fu or not. i honestly don't know what movie the people who gave this movie 1 or 2 stars were watching but it definitely wasn't this one. i also recomed Iron Monkey for more yuen wo ping wire work and insight into Wong fei hung's childhood.

Summary: Once Upon a Time in China
Review: I can not believe that anyone who saw this movie actually liked it. This is hands down one of the worst martial arts movie of all time and these words are coming from a HUGE Jet Li fan. You can watch this movie a dozen times and not name one fight scene, and thats because there is no solid lagitamate fight scene in the whole movie. This movie is extremely boring and a disgrace. If you want to see a fantastic Jet Li movie check out Fist of Legend sastisfaction garunteed.
