Superstar Jet Li headlines this action-packed film, his final martial arts epic. The film reteams him with producer Bill Kong (“Hero”) and action director and choreographer Yuen Wo Ping (“Unleashed”). Li plays real-life martial arts legend Huo Yuanjia, who became the most famous fighter in all of China at the turn of the 20th Century. Huo faced incredible personal tragedy but ultimately fought his way out of darkness and into history, forever defining himself at a tournament for the honor of his country and the true spirit of martial arts.



Jet Li's final martial epic? Is that perhaps a misprint? Should it have said "latest" not "final"? I'd much rather see Jet Li stick with epic fighting flicks like Hero than his other staple movies such as Romeo Must Die and The One.

Li has said that the movie is "my most personal and important martial arts movie. This film captures the martial arts beliefs and philosophies I have learned and experienced over the past 30 years." Sounds a little like an infomercial. Hopefully he comes across with a little more passion on the screen.

Director Ronny Yu has a whole slew of films released in the East (China, Japan, etc.) but American audiences probably know him best as the man who brought them Bride of Chucky and Freddy vs. Jason. I'm not sure what he's doing directing a based-on-real-life action/drama but Unleashed's brilliant fight choreographer Yuen Wo Ping is back so we can at least look forward to some sweet martial arts action goodness.
