Summary: Amazing Martial Arts Movie
Review: A lot of people have complaints about the DVD version in thatthe dubbing took away lot of the important dialog. I, for one, havenot seen the VHS version but definately intend to. As far as picture and sound quality go, the DVD version was amazing.

When i first saw the movie i was so blown away by the fighting sequences i didnt have time to pay attention to slight details as to whether his fist were closed or open because of the style he was fighting in, but you know what? WHO CARES! be astounded by the actual fights! The movie had a good plot, and the transition from scene to scene was smooth. It was'nt slow and didnt waste a lot of time on certain scenes like a lot of movies do. Every minute of this movie was very entertaining. Nearly every scene had a fight sequence which made the movie even better.

All in all it was a very good movie, and even though there are slight differences between the VHS and DVD versions i recommend watching both because Fist of Legend is an amazing martial arts movie.

Summary: Great entertainment, Great Jet Li
Review: Despite what others think of this movie, it is very excellent. Too often you get people who want to watch these types of movies as if they were some sort of instructional vidoe, like Tae Bo or Buns of Steel. I mean, come on, get real. This movie is entertainment, pure and simple. It's got a decent plot, excellent fight scenes that were well choreographed (another good job by ping). The music was fine, ambient enough that if you don't like it, you could ignore (though I enjoyed it for what it was). As for Jet Li's acting, it was fine, and in my opinion it gave the impression that while yes, he was hot tempered and all that, he was ultimately in control of himself, something perhaps he gained while being away at school. So, this movie is defintely worth watching if you're in the mood to be entertained, and enjoy well choreographed fighting scenes. A must have for any Jet Li fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: To the contrary of Popular Opinion, the Dubbing is EXCELLENT
Review: Fist of Legend is now on my list as ONE of the BEST MARTIAL ART MOVIES OF ALL. I actually like the English Dubbing, I have seen it it the original Cantonese/Japanese, and the story does seem be a little a better in the original. The new soundtrack is also quite good, especially when you've got a good Audio System hooked up to your DVD. The REALLY good thing about the English Dubb is that you can show people, like friends or familly who do not appreciate reading subtitles and listening to the "Funny Sounding Chinese Language." Don't you hate it when people refuse to watch a GREAT MOVIE just because it's not in English? The DVD is WORTH YOUR MONEY!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Jet Li's Best film ruined by English dub!
Review: I've been waiting for the DVD version of "Fist of Legend" for a long time and was disapointed after finally receiving it. This was not the first time I've seen this excellent film. I own the video tape, VCD, and LaserDisc versions of the movie and enjoy watching it over and over. A lot is lost in the translations in the English-Only DVD version and the new soundtrack ruins everything further. With DVD's ability for multiple language tracks, it is apparent that someone got the idea to cut corners to dump this hacked film on the Western audience for a fast buck. My advice... Get the ORIGINAL video, VCD or LD of this great movie if you can find it. You can always rewind back to read the subtitles you missed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ridiculous movie
Review: ok there are many things to complain abt this movie. i'll start off w/the character chen zhen...like one of the reviewers who posted earlier...chen zhen is a patriotic hot-tempered individual w/an unorthodox fighting style. jet li played this role too cooly which takes the patriotism of chen zhen out. there was a lack of emotion from jet which chen zhen is very emotional and tempered by just abt anything. jet li was worse than dead in this role.

second...the fighting...my god was that suppose to be jeet kune do or something similar to an unorthodox fighting style? HHHHHHELLLLL NO! jet li was jumping barely one inch off the ground when bruce lee jumped like three inches, and he jumped around as if he was gay or pregnant *shudder*...i still can't get that image out of my mind. and whats with the fist like that...chen zhen would have held his hands as loose as possible so as not to let his opponent know of his next move...whats w/jet li holding it up to his face like that? what is this "streetfighter" or something?

third the music...very weak. there was nothing that stirred up emotion, nothing that arouses ppl's attention, it wasnt even fast paced dammit! and it doesnt matter whether its dubbed or not, i saw both versions, and they both lack substance.

before seeing fist of legend, i saw the chinese connection from bruce, and "fist of fury" from donnie yen, a tv series. and i must say both versions are much better than fist of legend. in "fist of fury" the tv series, donnie yen's goal was to relive the bruce lee classic and his portrayal of chen zhen was emotional, heart-felt, and he was a rebel and hot-tempered, playing it the way bruce lee did and it was great...he even used the nunchunks and those scenes were beyond amazing...i wouldn't waste my time w/fist of legend and i'm sorry that i did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Woo
Review: This is the best chinese fighting movie i've seen. the dubbing is excellent, and the action... WOW!
