	Hong Kong Cinema - Fist of Legend DVD Review (1994) - Jet Li
		The exasperatingly inconsistent Gordon Chan was at the helm for Fist of Legend.
		Similar to Jet Li and Kurata's relationship in Fist of Legend, the combat is underlined by a sense of mutual respect.
		Fist of Legend is one of the all time classics in the world of martial arts movie making.

	Fist of Legend
		Fist of Legend is more than a remake of the classic Bruce Lee film Fist of Fury, it is also an homage to the great kung fu master.
		Apart from noticing the obvious similarities and differences between Fist of Fury and Fist of Legend, what suddenly comes to mind when viewing this film is that this is Jet Li's greatest film (besides Once Upon a Time in China).
		Overall, Fist of Legend is an excellent film, one that matches Bruce Lee's original in style and pace.

	Fist of Legend Review - HellNinjaCommando.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Fist of Legend takes the "avenge my master" concept that has been done countless times and manages to turn it into a unique, though provoking, and ultimately memorable story.
		It is, in fact, a remake of Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury" (not to be confused with "Fists of Fury" aka "The Big Boss").
		Fist of Legend also shows a more favorable side to the Japanese than its inspiration.

	Jing wu ying xiong (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Fist of Legend, IMHO, is the best Jet Li movie to date, and among the best martial arts movies ever made.
		Reminiscent of OOIC in tempo and, to a lesser degree, tone, Fist of Legend surpasses its better known predecessor in intensity and elegance.
		The plot (as I'm sure you know) is derived from the classic Fists of Fury, but the depth and characterization of this rendition far surpasses the original.

	Fist of Legend
		But Fist of Legend, a remake of the 1972 Bruce Lee film, Fist of Fury, is a marvel to watch.
		While this may seem to follow the typical you-killed-my-teacher-now-I-must-kill-you plot, Fist of Legend delves deeper.
		It was so well directed by Woo Ping that it push the already HK martial arts classic Fist of Legend to even greater heights.

	[KFCC] Fist of Legend Review
		The interesting thing about this movie is the conflict between the Chinese and Japanese, this is not something that is seen often in kung fu movies.
		The VCD version from Mei Ah is an excellent alternative to the "not so good" DVD version released by Dimension who has some minor edits to some scenes also the music is changed as well and the original Cantonese audio track is not available.
		Fist of Legend is simply said a classic in the Kung Fu genre.

		Review: Without a doubt, Fist of Legend is Jet Li's finest film and arguably one of the greatest martial arts films of all time.
		Fist of Legend is a powerhouse film that gets just about everything right when it comes to creating a modern martial arts film.

	Attack of the 50 Foot DVD: Fist of Legend (1997)
		Chen Zhen (Jet Li) is a Chinese student enrolled in college in the Japanese city of Kyoto in the 1930s.
		The plot is thin, partly because Fist of Legend is a loose remake of Bruce Lee's most popular Chinese film, Fist of Fury (known in the US as The Chinese Connection).
		But where Fist of Fury was virulently anti-Japanese, Fist of Legend is about tolerance and justice.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Fist of Legend
		To Hong Kong audiences, Li is known for playing various infallibly heroic characters, such as the folk heroes Wong Fei Hong and Fong Sai Yuk. In Fist of Legend, recently released on domestic tape and DVD by Dimension Home Video, Li takes on his most iconic character yet, playing a role originated by Bruce Lee.
		Set at a time when the Chinese were second class citizens in their own country, Bruce Lee's acts of defiance against the Japanese authorities were big crowd pleasers.
		The only evil Japanese character in the whole film is Fujita, and Chen Zhen is a victim of discrimination, not from the Japanese, but from the Chinese of Shanghai because he has a Japanese girlfriend.

	Chinese Movie Review \| Fist of Legend (1994) Jet Li, Gordon Chan
		As you can probably tell by the titles of his movies, Li is an action star, although he constantly shows that he has range, even if he's rarely allowed to express them to their fullest potential.
		"Fist of Legend" is a loose remake of Bruce Lee's "Chinese Connection", and in fact the film was advertised in the East as "The New Chinese Connection." Both films involves Chinese men being pushed around in their own country by the Japanese Imperial army that has subjugated it.
		In fact, the Wachowski brothers of "Matrix" fame was so impressed by the man's work that they brought him over from Hong Kong to work on the fights in their films.

	Movie Review: Fist of Legend Triumphs
		The first of these is "Fist of Legend," a Jet Li remake of the Bruce Lee classic "Chinese Connection."
		Huo was born into a family of martial artists, but was forbidden to learn his family art because he was so sickly a child.
		The style is known for it's fast, intricate and sophisticated footwork, which allows a practitioner to attack and evade strikes so swiftly and efficiently that he can often position himself behind his opponent without the opponent figuring out what's going on.

		his is essentially a remake of the superb 1972 Bruce Lee classic 'Fist of Fury' with Jet Li taking on the famous role of Chen Zen.
		He did a tremendous job, and many believe it to be his best work, and is ultimately a huge factor in his selection for both the 'Matrix' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'.
		The climax of the film is also excellent, as we see Chen accompany Chin Siu Ho to a challenge match which becomes too much for him, and ultimately sees Chen battle with Billy Chow as a Japanese General, completely scrapping Bob Baker's original Russian character.

		FIST OF LEGEND is not a mere remake of the Bruce Lee film FIST OF FURY (called THE CHINESE CONNECTION in the U.S.) I don't there was one Bruce Lee movie I didn't like EXCEPT for FIST OF FURY.
		Yes, vengence is a typical, almost traditional element of kung fu movies, but FIST OF LEGEND also focuses on the romance between Chen Zhen and Mitsuko, such as the disapproval of Chen Zhen's fellow Chinese towards him romancing a Japanese.
		When she arrives in Shanghai, she is immediately cast out as being an evil, almost less than human, person simply for her nationality.

	Fist of Legend (1994)
		As a remake, Fist of Legend eschews the darker aspects of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury and goes for something more uplifting and family friendly.
		Though the film is violent to an extreme, there is a significant lack of blood and Chen's struggle is entirely noble and without greater consequence.
		Fist of Legend's US release is better than its bretheren because its fights are intact and it retains the same title.

		Fist of Legend (R) Supercop 2 (R) Hollywood chose the wrong Jet Li movie to release in theatres to capitalize on his Lethal Weapon 4 heat.
		Rather, they want to see Li fight--and does he ever do that in Fist of Legend, a 1994 Hong Kong effort that at one point was slated for a theatrical release by Rolling Thunder Pictures in a subtitled form.
		That deal fell through, but luckily the masses will be able to see it now, albeit on the small screen and in a (not so badly) dubbed version.

		It took guts to remake a martial arts classic like Bruce Lee's Chinese Connection, but Fist of Legend is a more than worthy effort.
		Gordon Chan's script and co-direction are also surprisingly good; in the original Chinese Connection, Bruce Lee fought back against foreign invaders who were portrayed in a rabble-rousing (and, frankly, racist) fashion.
		There are still bad guys in Fist of Legend, and, needless to say, they get their asses kicked.
