The Legend: Born to Defense is one of Jet Li's earlier films. It is the only film in which Jet Li himself is the director. From a fighting standpoint, this film showcase Jet Li in his raw athletic form. There are no wire tricks, no GCI effects. Just Jet Li fighting in boxing gloves and in the streets against other warriors. It might not be as flashy as his later films, but the style is unique and gritty, which is rare to see these days from Jet.
