leonblackwood Review: Although this movie was made in the early 90's, the concept is a pretty old school. How many Kung Fu movies have we seen were the hero says to his enemy, "You Killed My Master"? Basically the whole film is based on Jet Li revenging the death of his old master, and to get to the truth of his death, he has to challenge Japan's best fighters with the help of his friend. Like many old school martial arts movies, the acting is pretty sketchy but the action scenes were great. You kind of want them to stop the chatting and just get on with the action but thats just my personal opinion. I liked the authenticity of the whole film and the showdown at the end with the Dolph Lundgren lookalike was quite good, but I still prefer the proper old school Kung Fu movies. Watchable!Round-Up: This is Jet Li in his usual kicking butt mode. I haven't seen his co-stars in any other movies, but I'm sure they will be popping up during my Jet Li season. The film does have a Bruce Lee feel to it which is why it went down so well at the box office. Personally, I have seen the film a few times before so I knew what to expect and I still enjoyed watching it again. Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: HK$31millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their Jet Li movies about a man who is seeking revenge after finding out that his old Kung Fu master has been mysteriously murdered. 6/10

eauvision Nowadays, we are missing good actions movies, this one is one my favorite, since I was kid, the fights are pretty awesome, and most of the moves are very real ( most of them ), I know they are some moves made with cables and all of that but the throws, boxing techniques, and drills are very good executed. Also the editing it helps at lot to watch the fights in a good perspective.Jet Lee plays his role very good, the plot is also well developed, the acting is not too bad, but also adding to the scenarios are designed, as the clothing of the movie.Watch it you are gonna like, it does not matter if you are martial artist, and if you are, you are gonna like even more.

Pilsung89 Fist of Legend is a classic movie of Jet Li's. It came in the middle of Jet's Hong Kong 90's era, when he was placed on wires in several of his movies. Fist of Legend is the exact opposite. Wires are kept to an absolute minimum.Fist of Legend is a loose remake of Bruce Lee's 'The Chinese Connection', and it lives up to it's predecessor's standards. The story is the typical one of teacher gets murdered and the best student(Jet Li) seeks revenge. Jet Li also has a Japanese girlfriend in a time when the Chinese and Japanese are hostile toward each other. Obviously nothing original, but it's actually enjoyable. A few small twists here and there keep the plot from getting too boring.Now onto the fights, which are the reason this movie is a classic. For anybody who claims this movie doesn't have a lot of action, I don't know what they are talking about. I counted, Jet Li has six main fights in the movie, four of which are one-on-one. Then there are few fight scenes not involving him, and and a few 'training' sequences. Quite a bit if you ask me. And it's top quality. As mentioned before, Jet Li was at the time doing a lot of wire-work. Wires in Fist of Legend are kept to a minimum. Jet shows off the incredible speed and agility that made him a 5-time undefeated national champion. he performs many acrobatic and flashy kicks, particularly in the one-on-one fights. It's the type of action Jet Li performed in the 80's, before wire-fu became popular. The final fight between Jet Li and Billy Chow is still considered by many to be Jet's best fight scene ever. A must see for all martial arts or Jet Li fans. A true classic! 10/10!

Big_dog This is one of my favourite kung fu films of all time. Woo Ping + Jet Li = quality and this is his best. The fight scenes are superb. I didn't think Iron monkey could be beaten until I watched this. The end fight is my favourite fight of all time and I've seen a few! I can't recommend this film enough. The film is a remake of the Bruce Lee film fist of fury which is a classic itself. This takes it to a new level though. There is a bit of poor acting in parts as you would expect in a 90's kung fu flic but the action more than makes up for it. The music also stays with you and builds the fights up really well. If your a kung fu fan and haven't seen this film I suggest you get hold of it.
