Fist of Legend

Summary: Fighting scenes
Review: The story-line is tipical of kung fu fighting movies, but it has a good plot, and Li shows hes great devotion to his master as a true martial artist. The choreography on the fighting scenes are so sharp and realistic, especially on close combat. why is it a little higher in price then the usual DVD's? I recommend this one to be put in your video collection, even more if your are a martial artist. Roque Urena

Summary: Great martial arts film
Review: In a genre not known for quality (Black Mask, Romeo Must die), Fist Of Legend stands out as possibly the best Martial Arts film ever made. Though the annoying wire stunts, which take away from the actors skills, are prevalent, the great story (based on the Bruce Lee film 'The Chinese Connection') more than makes up for any flaws this movie may have. Some of the fight scenes are ,in fact, awesome (the fight between Li and a Japanese master must be seen). Jet Li is, well, Jet Li - Great Wu-Shu skill and alot of brooding. If you are just getting into Hong Kong movies, let Fist Of Legend be your introduction.

Summary: Jet Li rocks
Review: Man this is the best movie i have ever seen. I would watch this over the matrix any day. This movie has some of the best fight scenes I have ever seen my personal favorite is the one when Jet Li puts on a blind fold. I'm looking forward to seeing Jet in the Matrix sequels.

Summary: Excellent non-fly by the string fighting
Review: Jet Li has starred an excellent movie

Since I bought this film for the fighting, i was not too worried with plot, or staging. But yet, after the first "dislocating" fight scene, i saw a plot develop, that, far from excellent, it was still absorbing. And the set was very well put together, from the old streets of Shanghai to the japanese compound.

Anyhow, it doesnt lack excellent fight scenes. The fight by the grave was really great fun.What i loved, in most of the fighting (especially the last scene), was the efectiveness of the fighting, and the lack of flying (such as in twin warriors).

Absolutely a must see for any fight movie lover

Summary: About Fist of Legend
Review: The original subtitled version of Fist of Legend staring Jet Li is outstanding. This is the film I am giving 5 stars. The story, character archetypes and varied martial art techniques make this an instant classic. As a matter of fact the story accurately portays a variety of Japanese and Chinese philosophies of training, modes of conduct and even the cultural friction of the time. However, the Dimension voiced over version completely changes the story and even portrays an old Japanese master as a bully instead of a man with an enlightend viewpoint. This actully causes a conflict in the film breaking its continuity and making a scene seem illogical. The digitally remastered picture quality is awesome but I would have preferred paying $40 for a video tape with subtitles than $25 for a DVD that is not true to the writers and artists. Watch this with subtitles if possible and you will see the 5 star rating. Watch it without subtitles and you will see a 31/2 star rating. Either one is well worth viewing.

Summary: Ultimate Hong Kong Martial Arts Film
Review: Jet Li is an awesome action star, and I'm glad that he is finally getting some recognition here in the U.S. This movie is great if only for the action scenes. The story is okay and the acting acceptable, but it is the fighting that is truly remarkable. Like most Li movies, expect lots of very acrobatic fights. The first time I watched the movie, I would restart some of the fight scenes over and over in awe. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who wants to see tons of action.

Review: If you like action packed movies, this one is filled with it. Jet Li is outstanding. The fight scenes are just great. It's a combination of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. This is a must see movie for all martial arts fans out there.

Review: Jet Li has changed his fighting style in this film. Instead of Wu Shu, he is using more of an American Kickboxing martial arts. What you get is some of the most incredible fight scenes ever to be seen. He may not be as graceful but it's still smooth and intense as ever!

Summary: Jet Li a Martial Arts God!
Review: Jet Li stars in one of his best roles to date in this remake of the classic Bruce Lee film "Fists of Fury". The fights in this film are only matched by those in "The Matrix".

The story in this film, set in the 1930's, has Jet Li as a young chinese man returning from back to his native land after hearing of his adopted father's death. Learning that the death was in fact a murder Jet Li must now defend the martial arts school from both a rival school and a ruthless Japanese General whomis trying to start a war.

While this is one of the best martial arts films ever made it is also a very good drama. This film is best viewed in a dubbed format. No martail arts fan is going to want to miss the almost seven minute long fight scene at the end of the film. Warning this film does contain some scenes of strong martial arts violence. But if you let you kids see films "Mortal Kombat" then there should be no proble with this this film. Suggested viewing age is 13 and up.

Summary: The Best Ever
Review: Having watched quite a few martial arts films, including many of Jet Li's, I can honestly say that this is not only my favorite, but that I have not found another to compare. The fights are astounding, and really is there another purpose in watching one of these movies? Nah, so since the fights are so cool, the movie is so cool. Woo-Ping did an amazing job on this one, and Jet Li's skills shine through. See it if you have any love of martial arts!
