The classic movie remake into this modern exploded action packed martial arts movie

As in the original movie with Bruce Lee we follow Chen Zen, a martial arts student that returns home after rumors telling him about his master being beaten to death by another master.... Jet Li who stars in this movie does in my opinion his best performance when it comes to the martial arts point of view. This is a masterpiece for those who wants to see fast rapid fighting from start to the end. It really feels like they have been focused on the fighting scenes in this movie and the story is pretty much easy to understand for most people so there isn't much scenes with people talking about nonsense. If you like the fighting scenes in movies like the matrix you can sense some of it in this movie. ALTHO there isn't any "flying" people in this movie and stuff but there is a lot of extreme kicks and hits in this movie that has the same touch as in matrix. For me this movie is one of the best in its genre. Its almost like watching anime action where the two who fights thinks on every detail on there enemy's technics. A must see for you who like martial arts movies!

Better Fist of Fury than the original

You get to see what happens if Fist of Fury (A.K.A Chinese Connection) was made with bigger budget and modern film technologies, in this remake of Bruce Lee's classic. Some of the differences are: Japanese are portrayed as more honorable bunch in this picture, dialogs are in Japanese where Japanese characters speaks which adds to the realism, and as a secondary effect, although the movie is not intended to be a comedy, some of the scenes are unintentionally funny because posing on both sides are so over the top, and because they intentionally mimic the original film's way of framing the shots, and acting which looks strange by today's standards.

Jet Li is at his element in this movie, and it's one of the best movie he's ever made. Not too much acting, and lot of kung-fu action brings the best of him. He moves so fast that sometimes you'd be suspicious if they employed CG Jet Li to do some of the moves.

This Fist of Fury is not just a mindless grudge match between the Chinese and the Japanese, but there're actually some story plot to it. Jet is supposed to be sent to Japan to study Japanese technology by his master, and has a Japanese girlfriend portrayed by Shinobu Nakayama which adds an interesting twist to the story.

This is one case where the remake is far superior to the original. What I would have loved to see would be a fight sequence between Bruce Lee and Jet Li. Too bad that Bruce is no longer with us.

One of the best kung-fu action movie I've seen especially because I've seen the original before I saw this. I recommend seeing the original Fist of Fury before seeing this to appreciate the full effect of this movie.

Much better than Chinese Connection

Now Fist of Legend is an amazing movie! There's good fighting scenes, good stunts, good acting, and best of all, the actor Jet Li. Now in this movie there's more action and cooler things in this movie. In Bruce Lee's The Chinese Connection there was "ok" fighting, acting, etc. It was more silly then Fist of Legend. I rate this movie 8/10. This is a type of movie where you should see if your into martial arts.
