Better then Lee's and Yen's

This is the best Chen Zhen , follower of Huo Yuan Jia, movie out there. Jet Li's boxing style is incredibly suave and adds flavor to a classic story. The acting, kung fu, and choreography are all great - can't say enough about this movie - but others have already laid the pavement.. its great, buy it, love it.

NOT ENOUGH STARS TO RATE THIS FILM!! 1 MILLION STARS.

I love ALL of Jet Li's films, EVERY one of them. This one is a must see. I know its a remake of Bruce's film Fist Of Fury BUT its all of the action with half the noise (Bruce's sound effects). You should really give this movie a chance.

Best Kung Fu flick, hands down...

Well, let's see: Yuen Woo Ping, Jet Li regulating, very little "Wire-Fu", an actual good story... just a few reasons this movie is one of my favs. If you are a martial arts movie lover then this is a must see. This movie takes no time to get going with end to end fight scenes that will have you going "Oooh!", "Ohhh snap!", "Oww! That had to hurt!" and... umm... you get the idea. The English dubbing isn't nearly as bad as other movies I've seen, and other reviewers have stated, so don't sweat that unless you are really picky about that sort of thing - the dubbing didn't bother me at all on this movie. Bottom line: This is THE movie to watch for Kung Fu fight scenes.

Definitely holds a candle to the original

To Jet Li's and Yuen Wo Ping's credit, there's less usage of wires (oh, yeah, there are wires) in this movie. As with Jackie Chan's films, all the fight sequences in the movie are speeded up slightly, giving them an air of incredible speed, and look spectacular. While Lee's used a trampoline and wires in one or two sequences in the original (there's no speeding up of the fight scenes), the use of wires in Fist of Legend is evident in a number of scenes.

This being a remake of Lee's Fist of Fury (a.k.a The Chinese Connection), I wasn't sure what to expect. The story line follows a similar plot, but the picturization is totally different. The fight sequences are good, and that's about it. The initial fight in Kyoto resembles Steven Seagal's style (one shot and you're out); the confrontation in the Japanese school is nowhere as ferocious as Lee's; I wont add any more spoilers here, but the movie failed to impress me as much as Lee's. Watched on its own without comparing it with the original, it is better than the standard martial arts far(c)es you see. On the whole, watchable.
