legend of the fist is basically the chinese version of all those cold war period hollywood movies where the bad guy was always a russian. is the main character a legendary historical figure? eh. maybe in name, but who cares. history is dead. racism is still alive and well, though.
there are two things that legend of the fist could have used WAY more of: zombies and strippers. so many people were getting killed, just about every scene was full of dead bodies. how much fun would it have been if those dead bodies had gotten back up and kept fighting? lots of fun, that is how much. i am not sure how the strippers would fit into it, but i am sure it could be done.
legend of the fist gets two fists, mainly on the strength of the quite impressively choreographed fight sequences. too bad they were drowned out by jingoistic propaganda.
