To see that you really need to catch the one worth watching version: the full-length director’s cut. The American release of the film is a full 40 minutes shorter. The same applies to the “unrated” version, which is simply the theatrical version with three minutes of extra violence.

Fearless is a solid film, and a graceful exit from the genre for Jet Li, the wushu epic genre. Li is not only a good athlete, he is also a good human being, and a good actor. This flick is worth a look. And for those looking for instruction in Wushu, then you may take a look at http://www.masteringwushu.com This guy learned from the same master than Jet Li!
