Directed by Gordon Chan

Synopsis

To avenge his masters death, He'll fight like never before!

Chen Zhen, a Chinese engineering student in Kyoto, who braves the insults and abuse of his Japanse fellow students for his local love Mitsuko Yamada, daughter of the director, returns in 1937 to his native Shangai, under Japanse protectorate -in fact military occupation- after reading about the death of his kung-fu master Hou Ting-An in a fight against the Japanese champion Ryuichi Akutagawa.

    Jet Li is so fast, he makes fast people look... not fast.

  • Review by BeardofTsu ★★★★½ 2

    Fist of Fury remake starring Jet Li and choreography by Yuen Woo-ping? Fuck yes! So easy to forget just how fast Jet Li is but you are quickly reminded here with scene after scene of lighting fast choreography and minimal wire play with some quite spectacular fight scenes. Most of which are usually one on one fights between two evenly skilled opponents. Just when you think you have seen the best fight another comes and blows the last out of the water. Maybe Jet Li's best film and a true masterpiece of martial arts cinema. It's a simple enough story of good guys vs very bad guys with Jet Li being more understanding of the Japanese than in the original.…

  • Review by Gregor Kreyca ★★★★★ 7

    A great remake of Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury, Jet Li’s best movie and quite simply one of the best Kung-Fu movies ever made. Along with Jackie Chan’s Drunken Master II from the same year, it also ranks among my personal favorites. It has a simple but effective story. Plenty of outstanding group and one-on-one fights, a terrific supporting cast including Chin Siu-ho, Billy Chow and Yasuaki Kurata. The duels with these three are my favorite ones and the highlights of the movie for me. There is also a surprisingly complex and at times even sympathetic depiction of the Japanese. I liked that.

    In short, this movie just works and delivers on every level. It is fast-paced, well-scripted, shot and…

    [Subway Cinema’s SUNDAYS ON FIRE: SECRET HONG KONG 35MM FEATURE]

    Perhaps the platonic ideal of a Kung Fu movie? Thoughtful, beautifully choreographed and performed, with a stellar lineup of fighters. Fist of Legend is always in conversation with Bruce Lee’s harsher, angrier Fist of Fury, forming a synthesis between that groundbreaking work and the more philosophical pieces of Liu Chia-Liang. A masterpiece.

    Seen this many times before and given my thoughts, but never a real print on the big screen before, what a treat, especially with a packed, appreciative crowd. And an English dub I’d never heard before, a good one, not that Weinstein trash dub.

    Fuck it, I’m doing something I very rarely do, I’m upgrading this to a full five stars.

  • Review by King #adoptdontshop ★★★½

    Asian cinema on fire!

    Fist of Legend is where young Jet Li proves he’s a star. With each quick hard knuckled slap or an injury inducing high-kick, Li honored martial arts icon Bruce Lee with an accomplished and stylish remake of Fist of Fury. This 1994 action movie is overabundant in action sequences (comprising more than half of the film’s runtime) - all of which are cleanly choreographed and performed with gusto. Even non-kung fu fans could find a scene tobe fully engrossed by. The plot smoothly flowed as well; remove the action elements and Fist Of Legend is still endowed with an engaging story of mild yet important romantic angles and a historical tale of culture and occupation. Plus…

  • Review by More_Badass ★★★½ 2

    Fist of Fury remade by the director of The Medallion, starring Jet Li with choreography by Yuen Woo-Ping? Sounds cool.

    I like Jet Li a lot; he’s a genre legend for a reason. But he’s not the showman and presence that Bruce Lee was, thus Fist of Legend couldn’t quite capture what made First of Fury so thrilling. Don’t get me wrong, Li is solid in the role and the fights are - as expected from Woo-Ping - insanely fluid, lightning fast, peppered with brutal beats, and escalate wonderfully. The large focus on one-v-one bouts recalls the stark bruising finale of The Young Master and, better still, honors the chess game of attacks and feints that Lee brought to the…

  • Review by Justin LaLiberty ★★★★ 2

    Fist of Fury for the 90s, replacing the more zen (and less brutal) violence of Bruce Lee with an ultra-fast, bone breaking, Jet Li as choreographed by Yuen Woo-Ping -- shouldn't come as any surprise that this still contains some of the best fight scenes ever committed to film but, what's most apparent in its original cut (compared to the excessively trimmed and altered Dimension edit for the US) is how much more emotionally resonant it is than Fist of Fury (which is a banger in its own right, but for different reasons)

  • Review by gregs1999 ★★★ 3

    A cross between an Akira Kurosawa film and Hong Kong action. The action was definitely the most entertaining part.

    Martial Arts Movie Tournament: Jackie Chan VS Jet Li VS Donnie Yen!

    Jet Li 3/10

    If you ask bunch of people whats their favorite Bruce Lee movie, most of them will (probably) say ENTER THE DRAGON! And while I think that ENTER THE DRAGON is indeed a good movie, even a martial arts classic, and without a question, probably Bruce Lee's most famous movie...I don't think that's also his best movie. At least not "in my book". My personale Bruce Lee favorite is FIST OF FURY. Its such a powerful movie, very gritty and intense, with some of the best fight sequences Lee ever done. I would even say that FIST OF FURY is a movie ahead of its time!…

  • Review by Sean Gilman ★★★★★ 2

    I’ve seen [Fist of Legend] a bunch of times, but I do believe that initial VHS viewing was of the film in its original Hong Kong cut. Each subsequent time I’ve seen it, the film has been Miramaxed: new English-language friendly opening and closing credits, a completely new and Orientalist score (busy, annoying), and subtitles that completely change the meaning of the film. Some of these changes persisted as the Weinsteins released the movie on their Dragon Dynasty home video label, and the new BluRay, by an outfit called RoninFlix, retains a number of them as well (namely the score and the credits), though thankfully the subtitles have been corrected with a new translation from the original Cantonese.

  • Review by Sam ★★★½ 2

    Very remeniscent of Fist of Fury.

    How have I been sleeping on Jet Li for so long??

  • Review by Jay D 's Watching ★★★★

    "Aren't we fighting?"
    "Only animals fight."

    Remember that scene in Lethal Weapon 4 where Mel Gibson is shocked at how Jet Li is able to take his gun away from him and dissemble it while he's holding it? This film is sort of like that, only put me in Gibson's place, and instead of taking a gun apart, Jet Li takes people apart for an hour and a half. Some of the fight footage is aided by being sped up, but even when it isn't, he moves so fast it's practically a special effect.

    Also, the film is aided by having a bad guy so EVIL that during the climactic martial arts duel he (Spoiler) kills a tree by kicking it in half and carries on fighting like it ain't no thing.
