Joey O'Bryan Austin Chronicle Although this is disappointing, there are more than enough good scenes (both action and otherwise) to keep this enterprise afloat and entertaining. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Spence D. IGN Movies Rated: 5/5 Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com All of the intricately choreographed fighting is real, proving the doubters of Li's fighting skills very wrong.

felipe g Fist Of Legend é um remake do filme de Bruce Lee por isso eu prefiro Fearless mais o filme é excelente! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Alex L Jet Li at his best. One the the great HK movies, solid choreography and stunt work Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 43 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Matthew B Best of Movies/TV Series Collection Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/22 Full Review ana s a masterpiece everything was super good Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Um dos filmes que mais gosto de Jet Li. O filme é uma reprodução do filme de @Brucelee "Á Furia do Dragão" Onde Jet Li reproduz com maestria a luta dele com todo Dojyo de japoneses. Uma das cenas ícones de Bruce Lee. A narração é muito parecida com o filme original. Onde matam o mestre e Jet vai buscar quem foi o responsável. Onde tem toda a trama do japoneses contra ele. Um diferencial neste filme é o romance de Jet com Shinobu e também seu relacionamento com o tio Kurata. A luta dentro do templo com seu amigo e a luta final onde o general japonês, muito bem efetuado. Um dos filmes em que Jet Li atua. Roteiro: Um roteiro bem produzido, que traz uma trama de romance, vingança, traição, lutas,.... Vários temperos neste filme. Vale apena assistir? Sim, com certeza. Nota: 8 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
