Martial Arts Instructor Reacts: Fist Of Legend - Jet Li (Chen Zhen) vs Billy Chow (General Fujita)

[@Vyselink]

Genuinely the best advice I may have ever heard: "If a guy relocates his dislocated shoulder mid-fight. Just leave". LOL!

I dislocated a guy's shoulder once, his faces showed all colors, I felt fucking awful.

[@coppertopv365]

Okay 👋🏻

[@mstoreyjr]

This is definitely Jet Li's BEST fight scene he's EVER done in my opinion!!! It literally has everything in it that makes a fight scene great...the constant back and forth between who's winning and losing really amps up the suspense factor, the wide variety of techniques, incorporation of the environment, utilization of weapons, both combatants showing fatigue and pain at certain points...I mean...its just perfect...you don't often get all of that in fight scenes these days...

[@tt90001]

And don't forget Mr Billy Chow, got the Muay Thai Champ while he reach his 50s. A very well respected person along with super nice personality.

[@SpriGgEx]

This Movie and Fearless i would say are are Jet Lis greatest in Terms of Fight Scenes.

[@bruceleeds7988]

I like the one where he fights his best friend slightly better, but yes this is epic!

[@vaughnfortt1067]

That’s sword fight in Fearless too

[@emiljohnyabut254]

@@vaughnfortt1067 yah, definitely the best 😎

[@Jackbyl]

The way Jet Li swings that belt is actually some classic moves for a traditional Chinese soft weapon called 'nine-sectioned chain 九节鞭'. Almost all professionally trained Chinese martial artists have learned some of it. Donnie Yenn, Jacky Wu, Jackie Chan ... I bet they all know how to use it.

[@contemptussaeculi8084]

Was just going to write this, thanks!

[@snikerz5886]

A lot of people tend go forget Jet was an actual trained champion in Wushu before he ever stepped foot on stage. Thing is he is one off the last "traditional" wushu masters because he was part of the last generation that still required one to learn all aspects of Wushu.

[@Jackbyl]

@@snikerz5886 Yep. Jet Li, Donnie Yen and Jacky Wu were all professionally trained Wushu champions. So they were all athletes before becoming movie stars. Not Jackie Chan though - Jackie Chan learned more performance-oriented martial arts when he was young. Fun fact: both Jet and Donnie had similar experiences during the same period, but Jet was in the north, while Donnie in the south (Guangdong and Hong Kong area). And HK is much more westernized, so Donnie Yen had much more exposure to international martial arts later in his career. I think he also spent time in the US, but not entirely sure.

[@dphalanx7465]

Actually reminded me more of _rope dart_ technique than the chain...though they are both very similar.

[@jerryhuang1999]

One of the longest and most intense fight scenes of all time

[@jerryhuang1999]

0:43 for a bit of context, for some reason, the sign in the English dub says "Jing Wu (name of the Chinese Martial Arts Dojo) is closed", but the actual thing written in Chinese translates to "Sick Men of East Asia", which was a phrase that the Japanese used against the Chinese when they fought against each other in war.

[@ThepurposeofTime]

Nice always wanted to know what the signs say. What does the sign say behind jet li after he kicks his friend with a flying kick in their sparring session?

[@thewandering01]

Yeah, the subs claim it says "The weaklings of East Asia", or something along those lines. It's been a long time since I saw this one.

[@jerryhuang1999]

Why do so many people say that? Fight scenes from old movies are way better than modern movies, which is mostly camera work of shaky cam and cut-away.

[@SpriGgEx]

@@gi0vanni220 i cant say that i have looked much into it and its been a few years that i have seen the movie. But Actors training for several weeks and even months for a role is nothing new. But that still wont get you anywere close to an Martial Arts Actor who trained for almost his whole life. And you will always be able to see that. But on another note. The Guy that plays the Iron Fist in the Netflix show with the same name, had supposedly a bit martial arts background. And because of that, his ego decided he doesnt need to prepare for the Role. And you can totally see how lame the fight scenes are because of such stupid decisions. Also he cannot act for shit xD

[@marginbuu212]

One of my favorite Jet Li fight scenes of all time. Very few people know this but Billy Chow was a world champion kickboxer outside of acting. Also, the radial nerve and a major artery run under your armpits so getting hit there is NOT good for your health and causes excruciating pain.

[@johnafirth]

Yeah, Billy Chow was legit. Judging by his record, a bit of a beast in the ring. One of his bouts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXLHdH-AlNV0h6s

[@joelbibeault1169]

9:04 Fun Fact: getting hit in your armpit can have effects that range from shitting yourself to nerve damage to nearly instant death

[@jalankvng]

Yeah a lot of the English dubs of Jet’s 90s movies are done really well. And the guy in the purple is one the most underrated Hong Kong actors and stuntmen back in the day. His name is Chin Siu- Ho. Billy Chow was a world kickboxing champion also.

[@GodlessG0D]

The guy in purple is also really good in another Jet Li favorite 'Tai Chi Master'

[@almo8989]

Chin Siu Ho is amazing. Can do anything ask from him. Billy Show was a kickboxing champ in his own right and was able to take those skills and be an amazing on screen fighter.

[@normlee6566]

I always thought three of Jet Li's best fight scenes were all in this movie. The fight with Li against the Karate school, the battle against his girlfriend's father, and the final battle against Billy Chow. The only other film with as many quality fight scenes was in his movie, Kiss Of the Dragon.

[@soleiltounsi6754]

Kiss of the dragon was really great!

[@SpriGgEx]

What about Fearless?`;)

[@SgtPowell]

Every fight scene in this movie is epic! The first dojo fight and the fight against Ting-An where he starts boxing and throwing in some Jeet Kune Do are both phenomenal.

[@Battle_One]

It was the girlfriend's uncle.. Kurata Yasuaki is an all-star. The fight with his friend at Jingwu and the opening fight in classroom were also great!

[@dennisjr77]

Don’t forget Fearless…… and it’s not his girlfriends father…. But rather her uncle. Head of the naguchi clan.

[@joshjones9749]

Still my favorite Martial arts movie of all time. The fight choreo is pretty much flawless from start to finish.

[@cjxj2202]

One of my favorite fight scenes great that you finally reacted to it. Billy Chow is just so “big” in this scene the way he just shrugs everything off in the beginning. It definitely holds up well, too. I just rewatched the final fight from Bloodsport the other day, which was epic when I was younger, and I was almost ROFL it was so bad…

[@SpriGgEx]

Same with the Mortal Kombat Movie. The only Epic Things left are the Soundtracks and The Overacting of Chang Tsung ^^ Most of the Fights are actually kinda Lame and dont hold up well. Thats what you get for having most Actors without any Martial Arts Talent or Background doing a Movie about a Fighting game oO Still not nearly as bad as Iron Fist Netflix Show where not a single fight scene looks natural or cool in any way xD

[@shaness112233]

As someone who has fought away two attackers by themselves with just a belt and a crazy look to my eye, I can confirm: no one, not even crackheads looking to pawn your new shoes, wants to be whipped by a belt buckle across the face. I think I knocked out the only two teeth the one had left. Still have em in a bottle on my bedside drawer lol.

[@Billkwando]

See, it sounded plausible until you took it too far. Guessing you had a necklace made of ears in 'Nam too?

[@morjuken05]

Earlier in the movie, you can see general Fujita practising Sanchin Kata. That explains why he is such a tank. Throughout the fight, you can also see he is bracing for most of the attacks. That is why most of Jet li's attack has little impact on him.

[@Naratikk]

I love how much they are trading blows. In many fight movies their are always phases in fights were one dominated the other and then it switches back and forth but here they just trading all the time even when you think the other has now the upper hand (bleeding eye etc.). I just love this movie it has so many great fighting scenes. I also really love the fight versus the old master.

[@EstebanDeLaVille]

While in college, about 2002, I was at a friend's house who had all these martial arts VHS tapes we liked to get high to. So one day Fist of Legend comes along and I was already in love with the blindfolded fight against the old man (watch it, different vibe), but the final boss is a monster. I think it's the uniform and the perfect straightness and power of those roundhouses, but I can't help but see M. Bison all of the time. Anyway, the katana scene comes up and I'm already hyped out of my mind and I say to my friend "wooow do you imagine of he went full Kenshin vs Saito and fought back with his fucking belt?" (Rurouni Kenshin fight, i also recommend it, it's amazing even with that minispoiler). After saying that, I didn't see my friend's face, but he must have sneered or something because 2 seconds later it happens and I just lost it and it was one of those mindblowing movie moments you remember forever. True Story.

[@blakesherer772]

Got to be my all time favorite fight scene. So cinematic, impacts all feel so solid, everything done in camera, the wire work is even somewhat grounded. Billy Chow in this movie is a terror of a character. A pretty fantastic martial arts film, but this fight sends it over the moon for me.

[@VeeJai72]

Started level 10 ending in God mode...Epic Jet Li

[@thewandering01]

Oh, this was my very favorite Jet Li movie when I was a teen and me and my best friend went on a wild Jet Li kick, watching every film of his we could get ahold of. My friend liked the wire-fu movies that were all spectacle, but I loved this one and the grittier tone with minimal wire work. Thanks for reacting to it, this was a blast from the past for me.

Its sad we don't see jet li in movies anymore😔

[@tarzangrant123]

Just for some clarity, that whole line that was said at 4:13 doesn’t exist in the Chinese version of the film. There is no dialogue in this entire fight, just pure action! I suggest watching this film, it’s good, with some great grounded fight scenes. Jet Li’s character Chen Zhen basically is using a mixture of Japanese karate and mixing it with Chinese Gong Fu, creating a style of his own that leads to him beating Billy Chow’s “Fujita” character in this ending scene. This is a martial arts classic, easily top 10 all time

Cool fight scene, yeah, but you wanna know what would make it realistic? Them both warming up. Imagine doing such sick moves without a warm-up. Next day you'd be like a one giant feeling of pain, sprained joints and pulled muscles. Therefore I believe they should do some jumping jacks, burpees, sprawls beforehand. I know it would look ridiculous, but it would be at least realistic.

[@godhimself688]

Yeah there are crazy athletic people and athletes in the world but if you don't stretch before doing stuff like that you gonna pull something

This is the movie, and the fight, that got Yuen Woo-Ping hired on the Matrix.

[@EternaltheGrey]

"I wonder how practical that kick would be" The rainbow kick variants are the most effective when they're the last thing you expect to see. Hugely acrobatic, light on power, and leaves the user very vulnerable, but the notion of simultaneous parallel attacks is uncommon enough that if you can get the tunnel vision it makes for a great punish. The armpit shots are a great way to deal with Strong Fist and Iron Body conditioning since they've got powerful nerve clusters that you can't condition *and* easy access to major arteries.

[@VTuber_Clipp3r]

finally someone that gets it, body conditioning and the chinese technique "ironshirt" channels chi hardening the body, soft areas like the armpit has pressure points and a weak point that can't be hardened easily, hence why he went for the leg joint after, also why jet went to chop his heck, he hardened his neck and caught it with his chin, jet flicks his eyes to disturb his chi and went for a second chop

[@jerrybrim5915]

Getting hit just bellow the armpit and just behind the bicep will make the arm go numb, similar to hitting your funny bone in the elbow. Hurts like hell and makes your arm all but useless for a good bit of time.

[@xZellxKyoux]

Daaamn! i totally missed this movie, this fight is awesome af, dare i say, even more intense than when donnie yen was Chen Zhen

I have the DVD with behind the scenes interviews with the director and he said that Billy Chow actually thanked him after filming was done because most of his acting jobs before this were non-speaking roles.

[@Radrex89]

Trust me, getting hit in the inner part of your biceps is excrutiating, happened to me while exercising with parallel bars years ago early in a park at sunday and there I was, a grown man weeping in the floor and incapacitated for like 15 minutes with nobody around to help me. That was a good learning experience.

[@coppertopv365]

Under the Armpit area there is an Artery, and a Major Nerve.. if hit correctly, one may lose feeling in the hand a short while, feel Pain, or even lose strength, or it may mess up the movement. There is a pressure point under the armpit, so a punch is Very effective.

[@q3aryoko]

This movie is actually my favorite Jet Li flick. Awesome fight scenes, This one is great, but i think the scene when he fights his Japanese (girlfriend?)

The scene with Jet and the old japanese master is really amazing

[@jsublett8871]

love your vids man. keep up the great work. this was such a great movie

[@armandowillem]

The "three stooges slap" was a backhand eye rake, essentially getting slapped or scratched in the eyeball, blinding/impairing the Colonel....the Captain....the bad guy's eye closest to his opponent, thus causing his depth perception to be hindered with the follow up kick causing the eyebrow cut futher debilitating him. This is why I love old martial arts films like Fist of Legend, Fist of Fury, any old Wuxia style films and especially The Shaw Bros productions. The fight choreography tells a mini story and isn't just flashy to be over the top flashy. Plus the wire work in older films without the use of CGI holds up most of the time with some exceptions of course. The older the films, the newer to the techniques they were and thus the more they age badly, kinda like certain practical effects, like say some of the Jim Henson muppet stuff in movies Labyrinth or Dark Crystal, or in horror movies like Friday the 13th when the arrow goes through Kevin Bacon's throat from under the bed after the sex scene. The neck is clearly a rubber dummy with off color skin and sprayed on sweat but the blood squirting effects more than make up for it, THANKS to Tom Savini amongst others! Or in Nightmare on Elm Street 2 when Freddy is "birthed" out of Jesse's skin and basically "steps out" of his torso. The practical effect was good for the time with the blood and lighting but upon rewatching it does look like a rubber mold dummy of the actor.

[@haroldc7218]

that was a great video!!! Subscribed!!!!

[@micktrinus]

I like that in a lot of his movies, if Jet Li's character improvises a weapon, it's usually a belt or towel that he uses like a whip...I'm guessing it's his favorite Wushu weapon.

[@wayneroland2]

This is such an awesome fight. Also you were wondering about the arm pit. There is actually a bundle of nerves there. And when I was training Kung Fu, we were taught to block that area, cause someone could target it. Sifu said it would hurt enough to send someone to the floor.

[@VTuber_Clipp3r]

Thats not why jet li hit there, the japanese is using a ironshirt technique used in chinese kungfu, a mixture of chi (or ki if you're japanese) and constant conditioning the japanese general can harden his body and take shots shown in the movie, the reason why jet hit the japanese guy in the armpits and then kicked him under the leg joints is due to *pressure points* its SOFT and its a WEAK point, you can't harden that area as easy unlike eg the chest. Thats why when the general caught jets neck chop with his chin/neck he flicked his eyes to disturb his chi concentration then chopped him a second time

[@ricardosaenz569]

In the arm pit area there is the axillary nerve bundle as well as some lymph nodes that can make the area very tender to trauma. The nerve bundle in particular can send nerve pain through the arm and shoulder that will hang around for a while and can eve effect the functioning of the arm

[@Papabogs1020]
