If movies were dogs, Fist of Legend would be a Doberman Pinscher: a sleek, black juggernaut with its ears taped back. A remake of Bruce Lee's Fists of Fury (mistakenly called The Chinese Connection overseas), Fist of Legend is a styling call for the downtrodden to rise up against their oppressors. Faithful to its source, the year is 1921 and Jet Li plays a student of the Jingwu Mun school whose Master Huo dies at the hands of the occupying Japanese while Jet is studying abroad. He returns to the Jingwu Mun, in the throes of a leadership crisis, and before you know it he's on the trail of the murderer. If this was Sherlock Holmes, hed be casting footprints, poring over train schedules, and listening to alibis. But its Jet Li, and his investigatory method involves multiple, gravity-defying kicks, and fists that piston like blurs. The action is of the wire fu and heroic pose school, choreographed and executed by Yuen Woo-ping (The Matrix) and his stunt maniacs whore in full effect here as bodies snap, crack, and hit the mat at 800 RPMs. Fist of Legend is a high point in HKSAR action choreography, with fights unfolding in empty arenas and courtyards, giving it all a precise, unadulterated feel. The narrative is surprisingly clear, and it charges ahead on all eight cylinders. While the film sticks closely to Bruce Lee's storyline (even the funeral portrait of Master Hou is the same), director Gordon Chan and company manage to update things for the nicer 90s we lived in. The Japanese in this film are not all bad, Jet even gets a Japanese girlfriend (the Sanrio-esque Nakayama Shinobu) and one of his opponents (Yasuaki Kurata, the martial artist who lists to the left) is genuinely admirable as a fighting man of the world. The visuals are nothing short of stunning. The image of Jet Li in Japanese schoolboy uniform, hair ground down into a severe buzz is so graphically audacious that it sears the screen, and the framing has a crisp, geometric style that matches his isosceles widow's peak. Gorgeously studio-bound, the sets are austere, stark and color-designed to within an inch of their lives. As combatants clash, rich golden and red paper leaves swirl around them, falling from a papier mache birch. Like inhaling pure oxygen, its purity is an intoxicant. It's a pared-down, stripped-away, pedal-to-the-metal lacerating affair, and one of Jet Lis best. Make no mistake about it: this movie will fry your eggs. by Grady Hendrix |
