As of recently, the online, streaming exclusive releases in
China have been plentiful. I briefly mentioned it in my piece on The
Emperor’s Sword HERE, but properly conveying the number of titles being
unleashed on various services can easily rival the breaking dam of titles in
the US. Fortunately, a handful of streaming services in the US and other
western countries have picked up a few of these titles for release, and, after
seeing some overall positive reactions to Fist of Legend, I dove into
Hi-Yah! to check out this kung fu flick.
At a wickedly fast 70+ minutes, Fist of Legend is
precisely what the doctor ordered. It’s not one of those films that genre fans
will feel like they missed out on because they didn’t see it in theaters -
thanks to its smaller scale and limited budget. However, it’s still a
relatively solid film, entertaining enough, and features plenty of ass-kicking
beatdowns to keep kung fu fans appeased.
