Customer Reviews of The Legend

One of the best martial arts comedies of all time.
As with most li lan jay (jet li) films the fight coreography is of the highest quality. The film starts off depicting the ferociously devastating techniques of the main villain.In the opening scene the villain captures an incoming punch; by bending it down at the wrist and pushing the wrist back forcibly, the opponents forarm bone becomes forced out of its socket thus protruding passed the elbow in a painful looking dislocation. The villain then proceeds to completely rip off another opponents face before riding away. While the skill of both Fong Sai Yuk and that of the villain are quite impressive, the interesting part of this movie is that his mom was an even more accomplished martial artist than Sai Yuk. With a funny and colorful story line packed with action Fong Sai Yuk & part 2 join The Tai Chi Master, Fist of Legend, The Once opon A Time In China Series and Drunken Master II as one of the more entertaining martial arts movies around.

Jet Li Classic
This is one of the most succesfull movie Jet Li has ever starred. It mingles comedy and action together, and it turned out brilliant. It's a story about friendship and trust, Jet Li plays Fong Sai Yuk, a martial arts kid who dosen't follow his dad's rules very well; Always fooling around with his mother and his friends. The storyline and plot is very nicely done, not the same old you-killed-my-father-and-I-want-to-get-revenge-type. It's based on 19th century China. It involves a little bit around the Manchus and The Red Flower Society which Jet Li's dad is secretly in. In the opening scene, it shows the skills of the main villain(He's not really a bad guy, he's the Govenor of Canton and he wants a list which Jet Li's dad has). In a fight, he rips the skin off of one opponent's face(Not as nasty as it sounds). Then he captures an incoming punch, twisted and pushed it back so bad the guy's bone sticked out(Not as nasty as it sounds either). After that part, it was pure comedy and action. There were a lot of fights that lasted for quite a long time. My favorite was the fight on top of the heads(you'll get what I'm talking when you watch it) and the one against the govenor. Another part where this movie shined was that jet Li didn't win any one-on-one fights. One of them he intentionally lost, the other one he escaped, and the finale he kind of lost. Yet he still was the hero in the end. This movie is definitely worth out checking(And don't forget to check out Fong Sai Yuk 2, it's pretty damn good for a sequel that was made 3 months after this one. I have seen sequels made 3 YEARS later and they were excrable).
