Fearless is a 2006 film directed by Ronny Yu. It is based on the life of Huo Yuanjia, a legendary martial artist who defeated foreign boxers and Japanese samurai in highly publicised events, restoring Chinese pride to China at a time when Western Imperialism was eroding the country.

The film was originally 150 minutes long, but to fit market demand, it was cut to 105 minutes, and scenes by Michelle Yeoh and a fight between Jet Li and a Thai boxer, portrayed by Somluck Kamsing, were removed.

A special release of the film in Thailand in March 2006 reinserted the scenes with Somluck (but not Michelle Yeoh), making it only slightly longer than 105 minutes.

Tagline: Fate made him a warrior, courage made him a hero.

Controversy

In February 2006, a greatgrandson of Huo Yuanjia demanded an apology for the inaccuracy portrayed in Fearless. In the film, Huo did not have any offspring as his only child was killed, however there are actually seven grandsons and 11 greatgrandsons.
