Year: 2008
Director: Gordon Chan
Plot: Jet Li stars in this historical Hong Kong action film, as Chen Zhen, a Chinese student in Japan in the 1920s. When his master is killed during the Japanese occupation of China, he returns to avenge his teacher's death. Back in China, he finds himself caught in the escalating racial tensions between the Chinese and the Japanese. The martial arts sequences in this 1994 film are handled more seriously than flashy acrobatics of other kung fu epics of the time and are perhaps a better showcase for Li's awe-inspiring fighting abilities. This story is inspired heavily by Bruce Lee's classic Fists of Fury. ~ Jonathan E. Laxamana, All Movie Guide

Body: Li's Fist of Legend is probably the best remake of the classic Bruce Lee's Fists of Fury (1971). Jet Li play the role with more sympathy then Lee. His version of Chen Zhen studied in Japan and has an appreciation for the Japanese culture. That appreciation bring him into conflict with his fellow kung fu students when their master is poisoned and killed in a fight with the Japanese karate master. He eventually has to take on the Japanese master to redeem his honor. The movie showcases Li's intense martial arts style well. It plays to his strengths with naturalistic fight sequences. The climactic final fight sequence is worth the somewhat drawn out middle section of the movie.
