Fists of Legend Storyline

On a television show billed as “the greatest fight show on Earth,” eager amateurs with lots to prove boldly step into the ring and expect to leave bloody but victorious. The ratings hungry producers seek out “legendary” but largely forgotten streetfighters and mine their desperation for recaptured glory and redemption into ratings gold. Three old friends and rivals from high school days who get their invitation to the big fight for the chance to win $200,000 and much more. 25 years later – Deok-kyu, whose Olympic dreams were dashed, now runs a struggling noodle shop. Jae-seok who always wanted to be number one but still finds himself in a third-rate gang. And Sang-hoon, a thug turned corporate executive who must go back and find his bloodlust one last time.—CJ Entertainment

Fists of Legend Movie Reviews

Great movie!

If you can get a copy with subtitles in your own language, then this movie is worth watching. It’s not the usual fighting tournament movie. The movie follows a number of contestants and shows how good they used to be when younger and what they’ve become now that they’re in their 40’s. Some have lost all of their skills, but some have retained them and are still good martial art fighters.

The movie has a great build up, some good laughs, some (typical Asian) drama, but that doesn’t distract at all. Overall the portrayal of the main characters and supporting characters is very well done.

This is a very enjoyable fight movie, with a good plot and some interesting surprises. Before I knew it the movie was over, it kept my attention all the time even though it’s a long movie. I’m sure I’m going to watch again in time to come.

Pretty badass

Now the reason I wanted to check this movie out is because I like movies that has mixed martial arts in it. Plus it has Hwang Jung-min who is an actor that really grows on you. However unlike a lot of martial arts movies, this one is focused way more on the story than the actual fights. So the plot of this movie is about middle aged guys who are fighters and delinquents that gets a second chance to relive their dreams over a fighting tournament. I did like the build up of this movie but for a film that is around 2 hours and 30 minutes long, I think it could have been cut a bit shorter. Cause some parts just didn’t seem all that necessary and some parts just seem to drag. However what really made a lasting impact was when the main protagonist gets caught in a dilemma. I just wish the fight sequences was a bit better. Cause it was kind of boring to watch. The first two fight sequences was cool in the intro, but after that it wasn’t that good.

7.8/10

Short review.

Fists of Legend is a Korean action (fighting) based film.

Now usually, I don’t watch fighting movies but this unusual take on fighting intrigued me.

The film starts with lots of fighting and not much character development, it was kind of disappointing actually as I had high hopes but as the story progresses, it shows various inside meanings which some people may not understand.

When watching this film, I began to think it was a drag, but around the mid point where Lim (main character) reflects on his behaviour as a youth, you begin to realise what he’s thinking, you begin to empathise with him.

This brings to you, a whole new consciousness while watching the film. And through watching this, I have to take two sentences which summarise the moral from my point of view.

“Fight to protect, not to win. Protect friendships, your family and if all comes down to it, win through protecting but never for glory.”
