Product Description

From Amazon.com

Martial arts matinee idol Jet Li Lin-Kit, who made his U.S. debut as a bad guy in Lethal Weapon 4, portrays a real life turn-of-the-century Cantonese patriot, the dauntless Fong Sai-Yuk. This is a much more blunt and straightforward effort than Tsui Hark's flamboyant Once Upon a Time in China films, but codirectors Ann Hui (Song of the Exile) and Yuen Kwai (Yes, Madam) deliver many lively and funny sequences. For U.S. viewers, the revelation of the film will be Josephine Siao, a Cantonese film star of the '60s, in both comedies and high-flying swordplay films, who plays Fong Sai-Yuk's martial mother. Siao disguises herself as man to enter a martial arts competition and ends up winning both the prize and the heart of a high official's daughter--mostly because the girl has never met a hero with so much poetic sensitivity lurking just beneath the surface. Chu Kong (Sidney in John Woo's The Killer) plays Fong Sai-Yuk's father as an anti-Manchu patriot so unbendingly upright that he's a bit of a prig, and as the action heats up, political stakes emerge more clearly. In the grand finale, Fong Sai-Yuk squares off against a Manchu killer played with great panache by newcomer Chiu Man-cheuk. --David Chute

2.0 out of 5 stars Dragon Dynasty dropped the ball on this release., May 28 2009
By 
This review is from: The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk (DVD)
Before considering this release, check out the forum here:
http://www.dvdmaniacs.net/forums/showthread.php?p=717025

It appears that Dragon Dynasty has used an older Miramax print which is an edited version of the film that is also in poor repair. Apparently there's someone out there who feels cutting the corners is acceptable business where releasing deserving films is concerned. This is exactly the kind of attitude that has severely crippled the North American releases of such classics as Drunken Master II. If DD isn't even willing to dedicate the money to doing this job properly then I can't see why anyone would be willing to pay the same price, if not altogether completely losing their interest.

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the absolute worst dvd releases i've encountered., Mar 14 2003
This review is from: Legend (Widescreen) (DVD)
This movie is awesome.

Now that i've gotten that out of the way, the reason for such a low rating (if only there were negative stars) is the ... quality of the DVD release. Dimension Home Video, even after paying the license for this movie, senselessly doesn't include the original soundtracks (cantonnese or mandarin), opting for a POS english dub whose translation sounds more like something from an afternoon cartoon than a very very good movie. Although the video quality is fine, it completely baffles me why they didn't include the original languages.

PS. I could swear some scenes are missing from the original version.

This review is from: Legend (Widescreen) (DVD)
As a mama's boy, Jet is always getting himself out of trouble. Not this time. He entered a martials arts contest and ended up with a wife. However, his father's rebel activities disrupt his plans.
