English subtitles. Dragon Dynasty A R1 2-DVD "Ultimate Edition" was finally released on 9 September 2008 from The Weinstein Company's Dragon Dynasty label in America, which features many extras and the original Cantonese soundtrack with English subtitles, marking the first official DVD release to do so. This version was also released in Australia (Region 4), in single disk. However, this is still visually the previous US version with the Cantonese soundtrack edited to fit its visuals. Matters are worsened when the subtitles revert to dubtitles towards the end - relying on the previous incorrectly transcribed "Sick Men Of Asia" sign and story-changing ending (see above) from Miramax's English dub. New Age 21/HMH German-issued DVDs from distributor 'New Age 21' (released 12 November 2008) and 'HMH' (released 20 November 2008) were released in an uncut state and contain a Cantonese soundtrack with English subtitles. Other releases Other uncut English-subtitled releases of the Hong Kong Cantonese-language versions (now OOP) include the US Tai Seng VHS (released 20 October 2000), the Australian Chinatown Video VHS, the U.K. Made in Hong Kong VHS (released 1 October 1999), and the Mei Ah VCD, VHS and LD. The Malaysian Speedy VCD also contains a similar version, but enforces cuts to some scenes for violence: Fujita kneeing Ryōichi Akutagawa's back. Huo Ting'en hitting his head on a window during the finale. Chen Zhen hitting his head on a window during the finale. The Spanish Manga Films DVD titled El Mejor Luchador (released 24 October 2001) and a slightly edited Indian Diskovery VCD titled The Hitter: Fist of the Legend contain an English-dubbed version intended for export to English-speaking territories. Strangely, this version has aired occasionally on US TV with a Miramax ident instead of their own produced version. Blu-ray Cine Asia released a Blu-ray version 22 March 2010 in the UK and on 20 April 2010 in USA. Legacy Fist of Legend inspired the Wachowskis to hire choreographer Yuen Woo-ping for the fight scenes in The Matrix (1999). The style of fighting in the two films bears some resemblance. In 1996, an unofficial sequel titled Fists of Legends 2: Iron Bodyguards was released starring Jet Le (not Jet Li). Later films have also been influenced by Fist of Legend. Hitman contains a scene involving the main character using a belt as a weapon as seen in Fist of Legend. The more realistic and less wire-driven fight choreography
