In another post I mentioned that Jet Li greatest fight scene might have been in Fist Of Legend. I think I will still stand behind that. It also might be his best Kung Fu film as well. But is it really his best movie role?
I say no. His best role and movie in my opinion is in 2002 Hero. Hero in fact is not a Kung Fu film but rather a Wuxia film. Wuxia literally means martial-chivalric fiction and its much different than a classic Kung Fu film. Wuxia films usually revolve around a heroic swordsman.
Jet Li plays a nameless swordsman in this film who is plotting to assisinate the evil Chinese emperor. There are many twists and turns in this film. The film is not only viewed from Jet Li's perspective but also through the eyes of others characters in the film. The movie is beautifully shot, the music is great and Jet Li sword fights are very good too. Best fight in the film is when Jet Li fights his Kung Fu star rival Donnie Yen in the chess room.
