Movie Reviews of Fist of Legend
Movie Review: Jet Li shows why he's the Michael Jordan of martial arts!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own or have seen every Jet Li movie and this one is his absolute best. I laugh at people who say, "Oh, Jet Li? He was that awesome guy in Lethal Weapon 4, right?". Yes he was, but "Fists of Legend" should be the only movie of his to watch if you could only choose one. Great one-on-one fights and a good story is what you get. The only drawbacks may be the cheesy fight music and the DVD may only have the English-dubbed wersion and may not have the subtitled format. Regardless, this movie is a gem because it doesn't contain fighting scenes that make you say, "Yeah Right!", or "Wait a minute, rewind that. Did you see a string?". Jet Li's shows you his all-around moves and shows why he's the Michael Jordan of martial arts. Show this one off to all of your friends who only saw him in "Lethal Weapon 4".Movie Review: Great martial arts with a bit of history on the side
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a number of martial arts movies, but I think Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li are my favorites. The skill of these talented artists is wonderful to watch--like seeing equisite choreography of fine gymnastics but against a background of martial arts stories (--some stories are definitely better than others). This movie (I own both VHS and DVD) is one of my favorites. I am also a history buff and the Japanese occupation of China interests me, as well as insights into the different Asian lifestyles, so this film definitely had a bonus for me. Some of my favorite sequences illustrated the differences in the Japanese and Chinese styles of fighting, and there is a great sequence not only on the level of Chinese vs. Japanese, but with the added dimension of older and wiser master meets younger and potentially more skillful. Personally I give this 5*****.Movie Review: Jet Li is the Greatest Martial Artist Since Bruce Lee
Summary: 5 Stars
This 1994 Hong-Kong martial arts production starring Jet Li is simply unbelievable. The fight sequences are fast, brutal and perfectly choreographed by the famous Yeun-Wo Ping. It has an emotional story, adrenaline-pumping action and outstanding music. I am a fairly new fan of Jet Li and just starting to collect some of his amazing films. Let me tell you, being a huge fan of the ultimate master of martial-arts, Bruce Lee, I can say with all honesty that Jet Li rivals the grace, power, finesse, speed and agility that Lee displayed in his movies. Anyway, back to the movie, I found this re-make of Bruce Lee's classic "Fist of Fury" both satisfying and breathtaking. This is definetely one of the greatest martial-arts movies I have ever seen. This is a must-see for any action fan or any fan of the cinema for that matter. Thanks for reading my review.Movie Review: The Greatest Martial Arts Film of All Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Fist of Legend is, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest martial arts film ever made.
The fight scenes in this film are simply beautiful. They are brilliantly choreographed and clearly only Jet Li is good enough to have these scenes. Every fight scene is amazing and there is a unique story to each fight scene. There are no cheesy wires and no flying around. This is on the ground, full contact, kick-ass, bone-crunching action. This film is so good and so influential that The Matrix attempted to completely rip off every fight scene in the movie.
So once again, this is the greatest Martial Arts film of all time. It stars Jet Li, the greatest on-screen action star in the world. If you enjoy Martial Arts film, you MUST have this movie in your collection. If you don't own it, you are not a true fan of Martial Arts movies.
Movie Review: "as good as it gets"
Summary: 5 Stars
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
