Jet Li's FEARLESS
Just saw this on dvd, what a great movie !
Good moving story and best fight scenes i have seen for a while. They blow away anything Jet has done in Hollywood!
Rumours are this is Jet's last period piece Kung Fu movie, that would be sad.
A must see for Jet Li and martial arts movies fans

Well he said "saw" not "hear". 
Personnally, I don't get the "but it's an action flick, you don't need to understand the dialogue!" rationale, but many people bought Ong Bak well before there was a version with subs available. Perhaps people are doing the same with this film.

The local Asian video store I frequent gave me a DVD of it (I shop there a lot and bring in a lot of business through word of mouth) but I haven't watched it yet. Is the audio in Mandarin or Cantonese?

Haven't seen or heard of this flick, but the last Jet Li movie I saw was Unleashed ... and I thought it was terrific. That and Hero before that were great. 
Will definitely check this out - once it comes with English subtitles.

What's surprising about Fearless is that the story is better than the action scenes. Fight scenes were good (even though I didn't like some of the fast forwarded scenes), but Fist Of Legend is still my favorite.

I just saw it...I know late in the game. I LOVED IT! This is a great great movie.
Also did you know this movie is kind of a "prequel" to Jet Li's FIST OF LEGEND and the Bruce Lee movie of the same story FISTS OF FURY.
Remember in those films, Bruce/Jet's character comes back when he finds out his master was killed in a dual with a Japanese fighter? He his master lost because he was poisoned?
