Fist of Legend, also known as 精武英雄, Cheng miu ying hung, Jing wu ying xiong, Seibu eiyû and Jet Li es el mejor luchador is a 1994 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by Gordon Chan, featuring action choreography by Yuen Woo-ping, and produced by Jet Li, who also starred in the lead role. The film was released on 22 December 1994. It is a remake of the 1972 Fist of Fury, which starred Bruce Lee as the lead character. The film is set in the Shanghai International Settlement in 1914 during the First World War as the Imperial Japanese Army are on their way to besiege the German port of Tsingtao in China.
(Synopsis): Jet Li stars in this historical Hong Kong action film, as Chen Zhen, a Chinese student in Japan in the 1920s. When his master is killed during the Japanese occupation of China, he returns to avenge his teacher’s death. Back in China, he finds himself caught in the escalating racial tensions between the Chinese and the Japanese. The martial arts sequences in this 1994 film are handled more seriously than flashy acrobatics of other kung fu epics of the time and are perhaps a better showcase for Li’s awe-inspiring fighting abilities. This story is inspired heavily by Bruce Lee’s classic Fists of Fury
