FIST OF LEGEND

One of Jet Li’s best films, and one of the greatest martial arts films of all-time. FIST OF LEGEND absolutely paved the way for Li to break through into Hollywood.

This remake of Bruce Lee’s FIST OF FURY finds Li as a fighter who returns to Shanghai in the 1930s only to find his teacher dead and his school harassed by the ultranationalist Black Dragon Clan. Immediate bone-breaking, ultra-fast fight choreography (by the equally legendary Yuen Woo-Ping) ensues, with minimal help from wirework. The high-concept-ness of the film’s fights escalates over time, culminating in Li and his adversary both wearing blindfolds!
