A loving homage to the 1973 Bruce Lee kung fu classic CHINESE CONNECTION, updated with increased production values, a ROMEO AND JULIET-style romantic subplot, and a more temperate view of the Japanese enemy. A martial arts protege (Li) leads his classmates in revolt after their teacher is poisoned by the invading Japanese. The final fight scene is arguably one of the best of all time. Fights choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping, action director of THE MATRIX. [More]

Reviews for Fist Of Legend
All of the intricately choreographed fighting is real, proving the doubters of Li's fighting skills very wrong.
If you can watch the opening fifteen minutes without wincing, you're made of stern stuff. One of Li's most brutal works.
If you don't feel the bones breaking, you're not watching closely enough.
A high-flying, hidden-wire kick-and-punch-fest, set against a historical, epic backdrop.
The strong point of this film is the cinematography of Derek Wan. The images are imbued with the rich, vibrant color which has become a hallmark of modern Chinese films.
If you're going remake a film, it should be better than (or at least different from) the original. And surprisingly, Fist of Legend manages to do just that.
Although this is disappointing, there are more than enough good scenes (both action and otherwise) to keep this enterprise afloat and entertaining.
