I'm here to complain about the dubbing, whether it's Mandarin or Cantonese.

I don't know if you feel this way. No matter what movie you watch, you like the original flavor. If you don't like it, because the region is different, the dubbing is used, which makes the sound of the whole movie incoherent, which is very unpleasant. Remember the foreign movies dubbed in Mandarin by Central 6?
Because I am Cantonese, I naturally like the Cantonese version, but after I finally found the Cantonese version and read it, I found that the Cantonese version is not as good as the Mandarin dubbing to a certain extent.
The main reason is that I can't hear any emotion from the speaker at all in the Japanese segment, just reading the lines mechanically. Especially the part at the beginning in Kyoto University, as well as the dialogue just before Fujita killed Akutagawa Ryuichi. There are also many parts of ordinary Cantonese dialogue that are not emotional, except for the lines that are originally spoken by Hong Kong people themselves. There is also Photon's voice. I don't know if the Japanese lines that Photon said were spoken by herself. It's not that his voice is not good, but the Mandarin version of Photon's dubbing is so good.
In fact, I really want to see all the movies like the Shinjuku incident, where the story requires a different language, and the actors in it speak different languages. Some Shanghainese speak Shanghainese, Fujianese speak Hokkien, Qian Jiale who plays Hong Konger speaks Cantonese, Jackie Chan speaks Mandarin, and the Japanese speak Japanese. In fact, as long as there are subtitles, even though I don’t understand it, it’s better than dubbing. After that, the mouth shape is not right.

    It is indeed rare to combine martial arts with practical advanced techniques in martial arts, blindfolded martial arts competition in front of the tomb, and critical inheritance of traditional concepts of ethnic contradictions.

    A movie that takes up more than half of the space of kung fu martial arts, but it does not feel boring at all. The excellent rhythm control of "Heroes of Jingwu", the meticulous character modeling, and of course the sincere national feelings, all these make This work has not only become Jet Li's best kung fu masterpiece, but also the pinnacle of action films in the golden age of Hong Kong cinema.

Fist of Legend quotes

  • Chen Zhen: The object of matching is to beat down the opponent.

    Fumio Funakoshi: Wrong kid, the best way to beat the opponent is to use a gun.

  • Fumio Funakoshi: Why don't you show me what you've learned

    Chen Zhen: [Picks up rock and breaks it into pieces] It's about the energy. About focusing on a single point in time.

    Fumio Funakoshi: So, it's about energy. But tell me something, does a rock have as much energy as an opponent would?

    [Slices a leaf floating in air with hand]

    Fumio Funakoshi: You need a more powerful stroke when you're fighting a human being.

    Chen Zhen: Let's see how I can put it into action.
