Legend of a Fighter UK
Legend Of A Fighter is a genuine lost classic, not available to our knowledge anywhere else in Europe. During the mid to late 80s this film was a huge hit on the UK late night cinema circuit and is widely used today for instructional purposes by martial arts schools due to the technical accuracy of the forms used throughout the movie.
Legend Of A Fighter, digitally restored and re-mastered for this first ever UK release, is actually the prequel to the Bruce Lee classic 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 plus direction of other Hong Kong classics such as Drunken Master, Snake In The Eagles Shadow and Fist Of Legend.
The story is a cornerstone in the history of Hong Kong movies and looks at the life of one of Chinas most formidable fighters - Fok Yune Gap, the hero who inspired both Bruce Lees Fist Of Fury and Jet Lis Fist Of Legend.
Initially prevented by his over-protective father from learning martial arts, Yune Gap trains secretly with Japanese tutor Chiang Ho San (Yasuaki Kurata) to become a master. Years later when Yune Gap has become a Legend, Japan sends a champion to challenge him. The challenger is Ho San. The two friends are honour-bound to engage in a potentially deadly duel 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 explosive, technically brilliant and charged with emotion.
Legend Of A Fighter is a must for all fans who flocked in their thousands to see this rare masterpiece on the late night cinema circuit during the mid to late Eighties, and a genuine ‘find for all newcomers to the genre.
