I liked the martial arts in it. Compared to Hero, I thought Hero had a better plot and story line, while Fearless contained more action.

I mentioned this movie to my Brother-In-Law and he said he received in quite some time ago from a friend of his in Hong Kong. I watched it with subtitles but some of the subtitles went quite fast and was unable to make out what was being said. Thankfully my Brother-In-Law read up on the history of this individual and was able to fill in a lot of blanks as not all is explained in the movie and with his knowledge I could better understand it.

I enjoyed the movie and I think it is one of his best, along side Unleashed. I was told that this was going to be one of his last movies but I see he has one scheduled for release in 2007 called Rogue and it is in post-production right now.

If you get a chance to see this then do so. It has a good message about martial arts that I hope the non-martialists understand.

Overall it's surely a good movie, though very little of it has any historical value (I was very surpised and disappointed in reading the real biography of Chin Woo's founder to find out it was completely different and still worth making a movie out of it!).
Anyway, I wish on the DVD they would include the 40 minutes worth of scenes that were cut, but I couldn't get any such edition around yet....

cheers,
