Summary: Li's Best
Review: Jet Li is an accomplished martial artist, having won 5 consecutive all-China tournaments earlier in his career. In addition, he has top-quality style and an impressive screen presence. Fortunately, these qualities are being recognized by the film industry -- and this is a major breakthrough for the martial arts genre. The last martial arts hero on the screen was Bruce Lee, who, though admired universally for his exceptional talent, his skills in acting and fight-scene choreography, and his screen presence, was never taken too seriously by Western film-makers (his only break in the industry was Enter The Dragon -- certainly a fantastic movie, but not enough to open the doors for him as they should have been). It looks like the doors may open wide for Jet Li. He may well be the new Bruce Lee, now with all the recognition and glory that his predecessor had been denied.Li's martial arts skills are showcased nicely in Fist of Legend. Li is thrilling to watch -- he's a master of many forms and has great aptitude with a variety of weapons. The plot is a little bit thinner--and the dialog a little cornier--than typical Western action-thrillers (though it does have more subtlety than typical martial arts flicks). The basic storyline of the movie is that Chen Zhen (played by Li) during his stay in Japan as a student, learns of his master's murder. He returns to a Japanese-occupied Shanghai, discovers that the guy who supposedly defeated his master in battle is really a wimp, and tracks down the real plot behind his master's death -- all the while inflaming the Japanese authorities who are determined to bury the investigation. Many awesome brawls must be fought along the way. This movie is probably does the best among all of Li's films in showing Li's martial arts prowess. His recent movie Romeo Must Die is a much more polished Western movie -- better plot, better dialog -- but the martial arts in Romeo Must Die always border on the peculiar (though very entertaining). By contrast, Fist of Legend gives the martial arts fan what he/she is looking for in a martial arts film.

Summary: Fitting tribute to Master Bruce
Review: One of the things I liked most about this move is, even though it's a remake of a classic Bruce Lee film, Jet Li never tries to imitate Bruce's mannerisms or fighting style. Instead he relies on his own charisma and fighting skills to carry the movie, and pulls it off nicely. This is probably the best martial arts film I've ever seen, excepting Bruce Lee's stuff of course. Like a lot of other people I saw him first in Lethal Weapon, then again in Black Mask, but I wasn't really blown away until I rented Fist Of Legend - now I plan to buy every one of his movies I can get my hands on. My favorite scene in the entire movie was in the second (third?) fight scene when he punched the guy in the foot - that was awesome! Talk about making a statement. I also enjoyed being able to pick out the different styles used in the fight scenes. Especially the last fight with the General, with his straightforward, powerful striking style, the whole thing was very well done. By the way, I just saw "Romeo Must Die" this weekend and it was great. Very well produced, with a good plot & lots of great actors, some welcome humor (not at Jet Li's expense, of course) plus the incredible fight scenes we've come to expect. A very impressive debut for Jet Li in his first starring role in the U.S. This guy does it right.

Summary: Disney do what you do best - ANIMATION
Review: To begin with, i just want to say that FOL is one the mostoutstanding movies ever to grace the movie industry - seriously, thisis one top action flick you just can't afford miss ! Now then Disney (why did DISNEY out of [all the] publishers out there) have to publish this master piece? Could some one please give me more insight into this? I mean this is one (if not thee) the finest Jet Li movies, and yet it gets a crap release on DVD... I'm not even going to mention the dubbing & the special features - that's a joke in its own right. The only decent thing about the DVD is the picture quality, its nice and crisp - just goes to show Disney can do something right for a change! Please by all means go see this movie BUT make sure its in the original format it was meant to be seen i.e. no dubbing, with the original music - the movie will be enjoyed much more !

Summary: Bad dubbing, but AWESOME fighting scenes
Review: The dubbing is a little bad, but the fighting scenes more than make up for that. it has more than you can ever ask for in Wu Shu... joint locks... blind folded fighting... using a belt as a whip... very creative fighting. I like seeing technique applied like that. Welcome to Jet Li school.

Summary: Great Jet Li movie, just HORRIBLE dubbing
Review: This DVD has been slaughtered by extremely bad dubbing. The original VHS with subtitles is much better. This has some of the best fight scenes ever done, but's it's painful to watch the whole movie because the dubbed english voices are just plain horrible. I mean at the very least the producers of this DVD could have given a subtitle option.

Summary: One of the greatest Jet Li's Movies ever all
Review: Fist of Legend is undoubtly one of the greatest Jet Li's movies. The movie contains many in depth memorable fighting scenes and also has good story lines. The 1 hour and 40 minutes, from the beginning to the end of the movie, is just an enjoyable ride. People who like Jet Li's movies also should check out "Swordsman 2" and "Tai chi master."

Summary: Jet Li unstoppable force of nature
Review: Being a big hong kong martial arts movies fan when I found out Fist of fury is getting a remake I first laughed at the idea, since who ever was gonna play Bruce Lee's charachter was just gonna look like a cheap imitation, so I avoided hiring out the film. When I bought my DVD player I came across the film again and decided to buy it watched it from beginning to end and was amazed, just when I thought martial arts films couldn't get any better. It was the first time I saw a Jet Li film. The fight seens are very good a 5 star for the film, but the DVD is a major let since its been ditributed by Disney who havent heard of extra features and think scene selection and interactive menus which arent interactive at all are special features. The film deserves a behind the scenes featurette and interviews etc.
