Fearless (2006)
Director: Ronny Yu
Starring: Jet Li, Betty Sun, Collin Chou, Nakamura Shidou, Dong Yong
Featuring: Jean Claude Leuyer, Brandon Rhea, Nathan Jones, Masato Harada
Fearless is more of a sports drama than a Chinese Martial Arts movies, but it doesn’t adhere to usual formulas applied to either. In both cases, such films usually start out with the story of a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, or a poor farmer, or a woolly-headed drunkard (pick your downtrodden stereotype) and follow him as he rises from nothing to become a master competitor or in the case of the typical Martial Arts film, freedom fighter. Fearless throws out all of that and starts with an arrogant, spoiled, brat.
