Fist of Legend (1994)

Fist of Legend (1994) (MM SUB) is a Hong Kong martial arts film starring Jet Li, directed by Gordon Chan. A remake of Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury (1972), it follows Chen Zhen, a Chinese martial artist who returns to Shanghai during the Japanese occupation to avenge his master’s death. The film is praised for its realistic fight choreography, designed by Yuen Woo-ping, which blends traditional martial arts with modern combat techniques. Jet Li delivers one of his finest performances, both in acting and action, portraying Chen Zhen with grace and intensity. The movie also explores themes of nationalism, honor, and martial arts philosophy, making it more than just a standard action film. With its high-paced, beautifully choreographed fight scenes and emotional depth, Fist of Legend remains a martial arts classic and one of Jet Li’s best films.
