Jet Li - The New Legend of Shaolin English Subs (Chinese: 洪熙官之少林五祖; pinyin: Hóng Xīguān Zhī Shàolín Wǔ Zǔ; literally "Hong Xiguan's Shaolin Five Founders"; also known as Hung Hei-Koon: Shaolin's Five Founders, Legend of the Future Shaolin, and Legend of the Red Dragon) is a 1994 Hong Kong martial arts action film directed by Wong Jing, and Corey Yuen, and starring Wushu and international film star Jet Li, who also co-produced the film.
This film showcases Hung Hei-Kwun's exploits as a rebel against the Qing government. Unlike Li's Fong Sai Yuk movies, the film has a much darker tone. Hung (Li) hardly ever shows affection, even to his son, and speaks in the same tone throughout the movie. The same applies to his son, who mirrors the little boy from Lone Wolf and Cub from his hair to his facial expressions. This is one of two films in which Xie Miao and Jet Li play a father-son duo, the other being My Father Is A Hero.
