There's something truly wholesome about watching 2 masters competing with honor, dignity and respect to their fullest potential. Its the stuff long lasting love and friendships are made of.
I remember as young boys, we only made friends with people we've fought before, those were guys you could trust to stand with you. That was with fists or stick fighting before people decided to stab or shoot their opponent in a fight.
He respects this master, so when the master can't see, he puts on the blindfold to be fair. But later on when he fights the evil general, he doesn't have to play fair, so he doesn't do the same thing.
After watching every martial arts movie, my elder and I would tie pillows around our chests and reenact the fighting scenes we have witnessed. Love those years 😍
My friend and I lost our minds the first time we saw this fight. Hands down one.of the best choreographed fights ever.....and the Li's come back line of "don't worry, I'll show you". Chef's kiss
I much preferred this fight over the last fight with the general. I felt this fight was way more poetic and held a deeper meaning than the all-out brawl we see in the last fight.
@@bparabellumli39 yeah this is one time I actually preferred the English dubbed version. The different music also added to the intensity of the fight scenes
The taunting is just awesome. Li's smile when Kurata's character almost immediately picks up on the nuance of his fighting style... Chen Zhen loves a skilled opponent
in the movie, Jet Li's character was shown to be bilingual as he went to school in Japan (and able nab a Japanese gf) the old man was shown to be able to speak some Chinese
I wonder, too, if any of it was an old master imparting a lesson to a gifted student, a little "hey, slow down a bit, don't rush into a fight so blindly". The dialogue post-fight shows Kurata's character's wisdom and understanding of hand-to-hand combat, as well as his great respect for Chen Zhen and his master, it gave a lot more depth to the fight itself.
Thank you for posting this. I saw this years ago and loved it, having now done some Chinese and Japanese martial arts. I couldn't remember the name of the film but remembered this scene vividly. Ake, as some one else has pointed out, the respect that they both show for each other and their dignity stands out, as well as their movements.
This is one of the biggest and best fights I've ever seen on film. Many skills in use within frankly objective and straight styles, a true Martial Arts class.
I love hand-to-hand combat fights in general but the ones where both fighters are pretty much evenly matched and able to lands hits on each other consistently are just 👌 so satisfying. More than the matches where each fighter has periods of landslide advantages during the fight. Excellently choreographed 💯
This is a pretty cool movie that showcase the hate of Japanese and Chinese against each other, while having Li being the one caught in between : having a Japanese wife, being exiled by his own dojo and the community. There are good and bad characters from both sides, blind hatred just breed more destruction and tragedy.
This is cool. Way back when I competed in wrestling, our coach would make us wrestle blindfolded during practice. It was supposed to help us understand what our opponent was doing based purely on weight distribution and resistance. Brings back old memories from days long past. 😢
@NraugHmoob, some years back I asked a friend who was from Mainland China about the lack of quality martial arts films in the modern era and according to her, people in China just aren’t interested anymore.
@@keithtorgersen9664 I'd like to say that the new generation can come up with something better, but the odds are against them if they come from the US. Now, it's all AI, spying, and drugs. If they could come up with a way for AI to take something, I'm sure they would.
It's Karate vs mixed styles of Kung Fu, all these throws are in Karate as well as Aiki-Jiujitsu. At some point especially when they're blindfolded it looks like Wing Chun elements in both of them. But there's a lot of blocks that are similar in Karate.
@helioshyperion8077 Jet Li never learned Wing Chun so definitely not. He's playing to his strengths which are changquan or "long fist" and fanziquan which is "lightning fist". The second one in particular suits Jet Li especially considering he is blindingly fast. I learned wushu myself so the number of different kicks he is pulling off is no surprise either. The sheer number of different kicks you have to learn in wushu is nuts
This has to be my most favorite movie fight scene. Despite some of the traditional over the top physics in this style of movie, the choreography was top notch. Not to mention the hint of humor they put into it.
Don’t know if anyone notices, but there are instances in which certain parts of the frame is blurry. That’s because back in the day where they didn’t have the ability to digitally edit out wires, they would smear Vaseline on the top of the lens so that the wire couldn’t be seen, now the wires themselves were thin, but we’re metallic, so light could reflect off the surface of the wire and expose it.
I think they blurred it up much later in the DVDs. I had this movie on a VHS tape when I was a kid and I specifically remember pausing that shot several times and running it frame by frame. The stuntman's face could be seen clearly. He is a much younger guy who was also there in the dojo fight scene.
This is such a great scene. The martial arts is of course, not entirely realistic, but it doesn't matter because the STORYTELLING in the fight is so great.
I mean realism has never been the point of Kung Fu movies. It's the fakest shit out there. But it looks amazing. Realistic fights are usually comparatively boring
But to be able to work at that speed and still let the view keep up is what’s most impressive. Martials artists normaly need to learn to slow down for film but these guys speed up instead and make it work
@@jonahblock Yes of course, martial arts choreography stunt work is a skill by itself. Even though the fight isn’t meant to be realistic, it should still try to tell a realistic story in the reactions, actions and emotions of the fighters..
This is one of my favourite movie fights of all time.I watched this film in the theatre as a teen when i was visiting hong kong back in the early 90s and it blew me away then and still blows me away today. Probably my favourite Jet Li fight out there...
This is amazing! The symbolic and spiritual dance of different forms, fights moves & blending of different energy is amazing! One is closed fist, the other is open, one strikes the feet, the other chokes the neck, one is young & blue, the other is green/brown & old! It's just beautiful! Imagine the practice it took to create this scene and choreograph it and build the chemistry, the shots, the takes, the editing & who came up with the idea!! WOW!
I have been a fan of Yasuaki Kurata since the mid 70s when he usually played the bad guys, most memorable against Chen Sing in many Hong Kong films like "Kung Fu, the Invincible Fist" and "Rage of Wind".
Just an my opinion It's the one of the top of the greatest martial arts movies ever made. Yuen Woo Ping is the genius of martial arts cinematography! Greetings from USSR
Anonymous io me lo ricordo in un film del 1973/74, ed é sempre uguale, cmq il film era: le 4 dita della furia, e lui interpretava la parte di un maestro giapponese di karate 5^dan, e di judo 3^dan, Mirò Dupiem, o Tupiem, é stato il secondo film di arti marziali che vidi, ev probabilmente uscito anche nei cinema in Italia
The most interesting fact about this movie is that the story of this movie took place after the story in Fearless. Nice how Jet Li get to portray not only Huo Yuanjia but also his student Chen Zhen as well.
1:54 Translation is inaccurate. He actually said "As long as it can win it is good fighting style". This is closely related to a later conversation which Master Funakoshi told him that martial art is not all about taking down your opponent. It is more about self perfection.
@@alfa-psi The other reason is that him and his family were vacationing in Indonesia on Boxing Day in 2004, they were there when the Tsunami struck and they all barely survived. He said that after that day he was trying to focus more on his time with family. He took on two years at a time to make movies and the rest of the info you mentioned and others was what made him start lowering his action movie days more. I believe that unlike Jackie Chan who purposely used to risk his life for stunts (respectfully appreciated as it were) Jet Li was met with the fact of dying unpredictably or his loved ones by nature itself. When one is risking one's life, I think in difference that untimely death accidentally or not does bring many thoughts on how we spend our time alive.
When Jet Li said "We'll make it even", I thought he was calling for a draw. Once I saw the white flag I thought it was sportsmanship. Then it turned into a blindfold and I about fell out 😂 Awesome fight scene 🎉
Ahh that was fun… felt like one of those great little 6 minute pro-wrestling matches that kinda sneak onto a show out of no where sometimes. Just some nice, simple fun by two great performers. Really fun fight. Good stuff.
My favorite martial arts movie ever honestly. There are ones better stories and more epic battles, but something about this has always stuck with me. It was the first "Jet Li" movie I ever watched specifically because he was in it. That part where he kicks the hay into the guy and he wigs out attacking the hell out of it has always made me laugh out loud, obviously intentional to lessen the tension and its perfect because it doesnt last long and it something youd actually do to disguise your movement.
And the part where they both hit each other on the head and almost mimic the rubbing of their hands on their head with the same expression on their faces.😂
I love how the old master, even though he's not taking the fight seriously, instantly copies the new and interesting moves from his opponent and turns it back at him.
In the days of vhs dubs and rips, I truly think people today are missing out on some amazing movies just because they don't have some flashing CGI burning their eyes every 5 seconds.
@@zetareticulan321 should watch the legend of a fighter, it tells story about young huo yun jia, way before fearless timeline. also young yasuaki kurata is on the movie as well
This is by far one of my favorite all time fight scenes in any martial art movie. Just brings back all kinds of memories, I was 9 when this came out. I remember seeing this and thinking how absolutely awesome it was to watch two masters fight like it was a game of chess and be really honorable about it
@@jermainewright2556 agreed. I wasn't commenting on who was better between the two, they are both amazing. My point was compared to other big cinema stars, Jet Li was a proper martial artist.
@@MrJspecefini agreed. No one is saying that Jet li is the only one, there are others Sammo Hung is also a pretty decent fighter, so is Donnie yen. I would personally class Jackie Chan + Yuen Biao as very elegant dancers/acrobats/martial artists. Jet li has won Wuxia championship titles in the real world. Bruce lee is of course a legendary martial artist of many forms and a teacher too.
The fight that makes this movie stay for more than 25 years in the top ten martial arts movies such as the raid 1 & 2, enter the dragon, drunken fist, spl, ong bak 2, Flashpoint, ninja shadow of a tear and bloodsport. For me ... 😢
Love the way he plays with Chen Zinn in the beginning lulling him to underestimate him until the blows start raining down on him, LOL don’t trust old people
yeah, trickery even in mma today is the most used tactic. everyone is great at fightin but much of the game planning is to try to trick your opponent and take advantage of a mistake. dude played on his sympathy did did one of his most devastating flyin kicks lol
Thanks. I'm not sure why they couldn't have just re-sounded the original Cantonese and keep the original voices. But if I were to use Adobe Premiere or more sophisticated editing software, this combination probably would've synced better....maybe I should send this to distributors and convince them to release a better hybrid audio version haha
Such a crazy fight scene, and really creative choreography. Granted, I always hated the SLIGHTLY overcranked cam speeds in Jet Li's films. I mean 6-12% is fine--great, even. But once it starts hitting 16%, it's just too bloody much. THEY'RE ALREADY FAST. They don't need to be impossible to see or follow. 😕 That's the opposite of awesome storytelling, lol.
There's something truly wholesome about watching 2 masters competing with honor, dignity and respect to their fullest potential. Its the stuff long lasting love and friendships are made of.
This fight has a similar vibe with Jackie Chan versus Bradley James in Gorgeous.
I remember as young boys, we only made friends with people we've fought before, those were guys you could trust to stand with you. That was with fists or stick fighting before people decided to stab or shoot their opponent in a fight.

lol...kyle if you see this, don't know why we had beef but I still respect you bro
He respects this master, so when the master can't see, he puts on the blindfold to be fair.
But later on when he fights the evil general, he doesn't have to play fair, so he doesn't do the same thing.
I grew up watching this sort of fighting, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Lei.
Still brings me so much joy even today.
Ever seen "five deadly venoms"?
Highly recommended if you haven't, and that's just the opening of a huge rabbit hole of great movies
yeah. This was a really good fight scene that I added to my collection too.
Jackie Chan movies should be more about beautiful scenery, so I prefer Jackie Chan movies😇

Not to mention undercranking to make it appear more dynamic for the audience.

@@XeroFailGames of course it is
Was it ever CGI in kung fu movies just skills and maybe wire swinging
The taunting is just awesome. Li's smile when Kurata's character almost immediately picks up on the nuance of his fighting style... Chen Zhen loves a skilled opponent
I miss these old days when you could talk to anyone in different language yet converse so perfectly
around 60% of Korean words and 50% of Japanese words come from Chinese.
Tekken does that all the time.
@@geebeepmanThey also had Panda, bear and kangaroo language
@@eduardobrigas4177 Not that much for Korean. Also it's just the vocabulary and even those have pure Korean counterparts so are not mandatory.
in the movie, Jet Li's character was shown to be bilingual as he went to school in Japan (and able nab a Japanese gf)
the old man was shown to be able to speak some Chinese
I love how Yasuaki breaks Jet Li's rhythm by "warming up". By the time Jet is ready to fight, he's almost bored until the thunder comes.
Similar to Mushashi where he will show up late on purpose to piss them off and throw them off.
I wonder, too, if any of it was an old master imparting a lesson to a gifted student, a little "hey, slow down a bit, don't rush into a fight so blindly".

This is still after all these years one of my favorite duels.

One of the the best fight scenes of all time.
I love this fight more than the final fight with the villain.

First time I hear about Kurata, but I can see why the comments are so exited. 😊
Amazing fight!!!❤❤❤
Ahh that was fun… felt like one of those great little 6 minute pro-wrestling matches that kinda sneak onto a show out of no where sometimes. Just some nice, simple fun by two great performers. Really fun fight. Good stuff.
This movie is something special. Which is rare for a remake. Got this and iron monkey at the same dvd kiosk in kings plaza in like 94 or 95.
Still one of the best duel fight in the history of cinema
My favorite martial arts movie ever honestly. There are ones better stories and more epic battles, but something about this has always stuck with me. It was the first "Jet Li" movie I ever watched specifically because he was in it.
That part where he kicks the hay into the guy and he wigs out attacking the hell out of it has always made me laugh out loud, obviously intentional to lessen the tension and its perfect because it doesnt last long and it something youd actually do to disguise your movement.
The battles throughout the film gave depth to the characters without much dialogue having to be said.
And the part where they both hit each other on the head and almost mimic the rubbing of their hands on their head with the same expression on their faces.😂
The story is actually a remake of Bruce Lee film Fist of Fury (loosely based on real story), and fight choreography is still unmatched.
I love how the old master, even though he's not taking the fight seriously, instantly copies the new and interesting moves from his opponent and turns it back at him.
4:23 I think this throw-combo is my favorite part of the fight. Just a cool technique.
They definitely went to a urban barbershop 😂 love the hairstyle 💯💯💯💯
better than 99% newer fighting movies.
In the days of vhs dubs and rips, I truly think people today are missing out on some amazing movies just because they don't have some flashing CGI burning their eyes every 5 seconds.
Rips?
I love that Jet Li plays Chen Zhen (fictional) and Huo Yuanjia (a real person), his teacher.
Think of Fearless as the prequel to this movie. 😆
@@zetareticulan321 should watch the legend of a fighter, it tells story about young huo yun jia, way before fearless timeline. also young yasuaki kurata is on the movie as well
3:28 How would they know if the other is still wearing the blindfold? xD
Honour.
2:07 that was insane
This is by far one of my favorite all time fight scenes in any martial art movie. Just brings back all kinds of memories, I was 9 when this came out. I remember seeing this and thinking how absolutely awesome it was to watch two masters fight like it was a game of chess and be really honorable about it
Jet li is a real martial artist and it shows.
@@jermainewright2556 agreed. I wasn't commenting on who was better between the two, they are both amazing. My point was compared to other big cinema stars, Jet Li was a proper martial artist.
jackie chan was no joke too.
Bruce Lee anyone?
@@MrJspecefini agreed. No one is saying that Jet li is the only one, there are others Sammo Hung is also a pretty decent fighter, so is Donnie yen. I would personally class Jackie Chan + Yuen Biao as very elegant dancers/acrobats/martial artists. Jet li has won Wuxia championship titles in the real world. Bruce lee is of course a legendary martial artist of many forms and a teacher too.
Would still be outclassed by an amateur boxer.
Incredible. Two martial arts masters in real life doing the dance! One of my favorite films of all time.
The fight that makes this movie stay for more than 25 years in the top ten martial arts movies such as the raid 1 & 2, enter the dragon, drunken fist, spl, ong bak 2, Flashpoint, ninja shadow of a tear and bloodsport. For me ... 😢
I've been always fascinated by this sensei haircut 💂♂
Love the way he plays with Chen Zinn in the beginning lulling him to underestimate him until the blows start raining down on him, LOL don’t trust old people
yeah, trickery even in mma today is the most used tactic. everyone is great at fightin but much of the game planning is to try to trick your opponent and take advantage of a mistake. dude played on his sympathy did did one of his most devastating flyin kicks lol
@@lowlowseesee he really goes at him lol
They're lightning fast! Never seen this movie before, never expected this fight be SO damn good!
Yeah that sounds way better. Nice one. You should send it to the distributor and see if they'll pay you to mix the whole film.
Thanks. I'm not sure why they couldn't have just re-sounded the original Cantonese and keep the original voices. But if I were to use Adobe Premiere or more sophisticated editing software, this combination probably would've synced better....maybe I should send this to distributors and convince them to release a better hybrid audio version haha
I used to watch these Jet Li films when I was a kid with my father. Those were good days. Great scene.
Such a crazy fight scene, and really creative choreography. Granted, I always hated the SLIGHTLY overcranked cam speeds in Jet Li's films. I mean 6-12% is fine--great, even. But once it starts hitting 16%, it's just too bloody much. THEY'RE ALREADY FAST. They don't need to be impossible to see or follow. 😕 That's the opposite of awesome storytelling, lol.
luckily you can play it on 75% speed here at TH-cam
Wahoo
one of the best fights ever made by two great artists. It's really exciting and thrilling just to watch.
