Summary: why not include the original audio?
Review: 1 star for the dvd, 4 stars for the original film. i really enjoyed this film when i saw it in the theatre in its original form. the action is great and jet li is just so fast in this one. then i quite excitedly received the dvd as a gift; excited, that is, until i realized that it didn't contain the original audio. i really don't like dubbing, that ruined it for me. i also realize that i may be in the minority on this, so i can understand wanting to include a dubbed track, but why not include both? i can't even watch this great film now.

i couldn't even bring myself to watch the dvd, but if they did a reasonable job, i would definitely recommend this to people who don't mind dubbing. hopefully, though, they'll release a "special edition" or something with subtitles, but i'm not holding my breath.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "as good as it gets"
Review: lets see jet li returns home to china to find his master has been poisiend and killed(huh!) somebody(s) gonna get their tales wooped.this is LI'S best, just hand to hand martial arts fighting literly in ever scene.and i mean the good stuff thanks to LI and his incredibele ability and also to the greatest fight choriographer in the business WOO-PING YUEN(iron monkey,matrix etc.)i don't believe i'll ever see any anything any better.

the only the out there even close to this(this meaning a martials arts film with realistic fighting and not wire work all the way through)is chan's LEGEND OF THE DRUKEN MASTER.
FIST OF LEGEND should go down as a legend,if not the greatest.please make a special edition that includes chinese language with enlish subtitles.the dubbing is kinda poor to the point were its almost funny.GO BUY THIS FILM

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best
Review: Well, everything has been said about this movie. The best jet movie, the best hand-to-hand combat scenes and the best martial arts movie ever made (along with drunken master 2 I would say). Incredible fights vs Chin Siu Ho, Yusuaki Kurata (eyes blindfolded !) and a brutal 7-minutes showdown vs Billy Chau. The kind of the movie that one should own to rewind some moves and eventually, watch the fights in slow-motion only. IT's a hell of a martial experience.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must Have
Review: This is by far Jet Li's best movie......Right behind Twin Warriors.

Fist of Legend has it all....Good plot good dubbing GREAT action...VERY little wire fu here. The belt is the best...watch it and see what I mean.

Twin Warriors is by far the coolest of the cool of all wushsu flicks.

Pretty cool plot, fair to good dubbing but the action...oh the action....incredible. It is anime come to life. The wire work at times is a little sloppy but the camera angles and use of wires mimics any good anime flick.

This is by and far Jet's best flick. Great cast. If you follow Jet's movies you will recognize alot of the other actors is this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: One of the best Martial Arts movies I have ever seen. Jet Li displays his talent and demonstrates why he is one of the best martial artists today. The fight scenes are well done and each last a good 5 minutes each. The best part is that there is more then one major fight scene, which evolves Li. Most of the time there is the huge battle between the hero and villain at the end. This is not the case with this movie. Rent it Buy it, but if you are a fan of martial arts WATCH this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME !!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: chinese connection revisited
Review: Jet Li's homage to the Bruce Lee classic Chinese Connection. The plot is Jet finds out his sifu has suddenly died and goes home to pay his respects and eventually revenge on the perpetrators. Some minor differences between the plot lines of the movies and the closeups in Fists of Legend are great. Nice fight scenses. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Advanced Kung Fu Film
Review: Fist Of Legend is a very well made Jet Li Wu Shu Film

and can be enjoyed by people that enjoyed the original Bruce Lee version of the film

my advice is for any person who likes any type of martial arts

Buy This Film

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great movie, HORRENDOUS DUBBING!
Review: First let me say that this is one of the best martial arts movie Ive seen. However, the dubbing made this movie really really bad. Ive seen the Chinese version DVD and the American one. Almost half the original dialogue has been changed. Most of the time, it's not even what the characters said in the chinese version. It's like they made a bunch of white people sit in a room to watch the chinese version, and afterwards, they let them make up the english dialogue whatever way they want. Another reviewer said a lot of the deep martial art meaning has been lost and that is so true. Sometimes, they even get the chinese writing wrong.. For those who have seen the movie, the one sign that they said was 'acceptance' is actually 'tolerance'. The sign that the general held and said was 'jin wu school is closed down' actually meant 'sick men of china'. it's little things like that they annoys me. Of course, if you don't care what the director originally wanted you to see, this wouldn't be a problem. Dubbing killed this movie..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome movie
Review: Jet Li's best performance, his kung fu shows skill that isn't faked.
