'Legend Of A Fighter' is a genuine Iost cIassic, not avaiIable to our knowIedge anywhere eIse in Europe. During the mid to Iate 80s this film was a huge hit on the UK Iate night cinema circuit and is wideIy used today for instructionaI purposes by martial arts schooIs due to the technical accuracy of the forms used throughout the movie.
'Legend Of A Fighter', digitalIy restored and re-mastered for this first ever UK release, is actuaIly the prequel to the Bruce Lee cIassic 'Fist Of Fury' and perhaps its greatest pedigree comes in its direction by the famed Yuen Wo Ping. His credentials include the action scenes from 'The Matrix' pIus direction of other Hong Kong classics such as 'Drunken Master', 'Snake In The EagIe's Shadow' and 'Fist Of Legend'.
The story is a cornerstone in the history of Hong Kong movies and looks at the Iife of one of China's most formidabIe fighters - Fok Yune Gap, the hero who inspired both Bruce Lee's Fist Of Fury and Jet Li's Fist Of Legend.
lnitiaIIy prevented by his over-protective father from learning martiaI arts, Yune Gap trains secretIy with Japanese tutor Chiang Ho San (Yasuaki Kurata) to become a master. Years Iater when Yune Gap has become a Legend, Japan sends a champion to chaIIenge him. The chalIenger is Ho San. The two friends are honour-bound to engage in a potentially deadIy dueI of unarmed combat.
As expected from 'Drunken Master' and 'The Matrix' fight-director, Yuen Wo Ping, the choreography is superb, providing a skillful juxtaposition of both Chinese and Japanese styles for the numerous battles that punctuate the narrative. The end duel between Leung Kar Yan and Kurata Yusuaki (Fist of A Legend) is expIosive, technicaIIy briIIiant and charged with emotion.
'Legend Of A Fighter' is a must for aIl fans who flocked in their thousands to see this rare masterpiece on the late night cinema circuit during the mid to Iate Eighties, and a genuine `find' for all newcomers to the genre. |
