Fist Of Legend (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

I've seen this movie on the big screen, watched it about 50 times, and I understand all the craziness surrounding it, but I just don't see it as a 5 star flick.

This was an odd entry at the time, since Jet Li was turning out one crazy wire fu movie after another. Then, in 1994, this thing comes along. The fight choreography is good, but most of it doesn't have enough flair and intricate choreography, since it's a remake of a Bruce Lee film.

The power and skill of Jet Li is evident and it is one of his better flicks, but I enjoyed Jet's work in "Shaolin Temple 3" and "Once Upon a Time in China 2" better.

I can't give it a better rating since it comes down to the choreography, which becomes lackluster, especially during the final fight scene. I'm sure I'll get a lot of people disagreeing with this, but forget the hype and give it an honest look.

Everyone wanted this to be the greatest Jet Li film. I feel unsatisfied after viewing it in the same way that I'm unsatisfied with "Fearless". There's something about the camera angles and the staging of fights that I can't get over.

NThe movie has to be higher than a 3 star rating. It was enjoyable and it does offer great choreography. "Fearless" was great too, a good Jet Li fu outing.Rambo part 5 please
NYeah there is a lot of debate over this film because of it's wire fu. For me I really enjoyed this film, the pacing was fast & intriguing. The choreography was done really well. But everyone has their differences on fu films, especially with this pic.JV47842
NThis film is worth more than 3 stars. The film is one of the best remakes of a movie I have ever seen. it's worth more than 3 stars.KungfuManiac
NSorry, but nope. The choreography here is top-notch, and the fact that it's a remake of a Bruce Lee film has to relevance to the quality of the choreography.Choco
NThe fight choreography doesn't have enough flair and intricate choreography?!? 360's,540's,butterfly twists, Longfist, Tong Bei, Karate, Boxing. Dude, you need to enroll in a martial arts class of some kind very soon. Extraordinary misconceptions.Bastard Ronin
