Movie Reviews of The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk
Movie Review: Don't be thrown off by the reviews copied in from "The Legend"--LOFSYuk is utterly fantastic and not to be missed!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Due to a glitch at Amazon, there are numerous reviews cross-pasted from a hatchet-job of this movie called "The Legend." Buy the Dragon Dynasty release without fear: this is the real deal!
I've seen this movie in the theater several times. I can tell you that this is not only one of Jet Li's finest films, but also one of the real gems of HK movies, and one of the best period martial arts films of all time.
The characters are fun and charming, the acting full of energy. The story and script is humorous and heroic. The sets and period evocations are flawless.
Of course, the fighting is incredible: full use is made of many large set-pieces, similar to Iron Monkey and Wing Chun. And Jet is at the pinnacle of his grace and power, as well as boyish charm wedded to striking nobility and screen presence.
I advise all lovers of HK martial arts to see this brilliant film made during the modern height of the Hong Kong cinema glory days. And then come back and stick a 5-star review in here so this wonderful movie doesn't get done in by The Legend's bad reputation.
