What happens
Fong Sai-yuk (方世玉), also known as The Legend of Fong Sai-yuk, The Legend, and The Prodigal Fighter, is a 1993 Hong Kong action-comedy film directed by Corey Yuen and produced by Jet Li, who starred as Chinese folk hero Fong Sai-yuk (Fang Shiyu). It co-starred Josephine Siao, Vincent Zhao, and Michelle Reis. The film received positive reviews, particularly praising Siao's acting and the action choreography. The film won the Hong Kong Film Award and Golden Horse Award for best action choreography. A sequel, Fong Sai-yuk II, was released later the same year in 1993. The film, which is loosely connected to the wuxia novel The Book and the Sword by Jin Yong, follows Fang Shiyu, a Qing dynasty martial artist from Guangdong who competes in a martial arts contest to win the hand in marriage of a woman but finds himself caught in the conflict between an anti-Qing underground movement and Qing government forces led by the Governor of Nine Gates.
