Review
Based on the real life legend Huo Yuanjia, this brutal martial arts epic focuses on his entrance into an international fighting tournaments for the honour of his motherland. Eventually he is challenged him to take on four foreign champions in a single evening; a British boxer, a German lancer, a Spanish fencer and a Japanese martial artist. However the only way to stop him is by poison, a fact that his honourable Japanese opponent recognises and cedes victory over. Starring Jet Li and choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping, 'Fearless' is a stunningly put together fight movie and a paean to Wushu generally and Huo Yuanjia's Mízongyì specifically. Unfortunately this is not the full length version (140 minutes) and fight scenes with Thai boxer Somluck Kamsing and Hong Kong's Michelle Yeoh have been left out.
