Jet Lis Fearless [Blu-ray] starring Jet
Li, Shido Nakamura, Betty Sun, Yong
Dong, Hee Ching Paw
Blu-Ray Movie
A moving and inspiring story of redemption and personal triumph in the
face of great odds, Jet Lis Fearless is the based-on-facts story of Chinese
folk hero Huo Yuanjia (Jet Li). The son of a martial-arts master whose
greatest strength was his restraint, Huo grows into an unbeatable fighter
whose pride and thoughtlessness lead to a chain of tragic losses. After a
classic wanderer-in-the-wilderness penance, Huo reinvents himself as a
mature instructor of Wushu, a martial arts system that embraces all forms
of fighting without preference or pre-judgement. He also becomes a
populist symbol, at the dawn of the 20th century, of Chinas refusal to
entirely capitulate to the boot of Western colonialists. Taking on whatever
European, American, or Japanese fighter the outsiders bring in to
demoralize the natives, Huo becomes a legend that, in real life, is still
revered. Thrillingly directed by Ronny Yu (Warriors of Virtue), Jet Li’s
Fearless is a dazzling action movie that transcends its breathless fight
sequences with Huos sportsmanship virtues, i.e., knowing when youve
won by example, rather than by the fist. Jet Li is superb in the role. --Tom

The son of a great fighter who did not wish for his child to follow in his
footsteps, the bullied Huo Yuanjia resolves to teach himself how to fight--
and win. Years of training enable him to ace match after match in his home
region of Tianjin. But as his fame as a martial arts master grows, so does
his pride. After an ill-advised fight leads to another master's death,
members of Huo's family are slain in revenge. Grieving and ashamed, Huo
wanders the country in shock. Near death, he is rescued by women from
an idyllic village, and is offered simple kindness and generosity that help
him heal and regain his equilibrium over a period of several years. Huo
realizes that the future of martial arts lies in sportsmanship and not
brutality, and he rejoins society to apply what he has learned. Returning to
Tianjin, Huo takes steps to come to terms with his past and restore his
family's name. His evolving, graceful Mizong (Missing) Fist method of
fighting brings Huo renewed success, and he forms the progressive
Jingwu Sports Federation. Taking note, duplicitous members of the
Foreign Chamber of Commerce engineer a Shanghai tourn ament pitting
Huo against four fighters, each representing the major foreign powers in
China. Huo commits to the bout and faces off against, respectively, a
British boxer, a Spanish swordsman, a Belgian soldier and a Japanese
martial artist. What happened that day in 1910 has never been, and will
never be, forgotten in China. This movie achieves a way to balance story
and philosophy just like his last great film Hero.
