The story begins with Jet defending a girl's modesty and, hence, being challenged to a competition pitting him in such events as the long jump and the sprint relay, which witnesses him eliciting the girl whose modesty he rescued into the race for want of an extra person to fulfill the conditions of the race which requires three participants. Having defeated the bullies in a fair competition, he surrenders his medal to the girl as a present.
Then, the story progresses with Jet Li participating in a tournament with a rich man's wife, with excellent skills in wushu, in an attempt to win the daughter's hand in marriage as that constitutes the price for winning. Here we are treated to one of the most innovative and creative fight scenes ever captured on film that aptly demonstrates Jet Li's unparalled skill in martial arts, where he easily defeats the rich man's wife only to deliberately throw the match after catching a glimpse of what constitutes one of the ugliest women on earth, whom he didn't realize was a mere stand-in for the real price.
However, having heard of Jet's defeated, his mother, challenges the rich man's wife in an attempt to restore honour to the Sai Yuk family, and, in so doing, finds herself irrevocably bound to the pledge of marriage that comprise the condition of the tournament, having disguised herself as a man.
Sai Yuk is, hence, forced into the marriage, which when he comes to realize involves the girl, whose virtue he had rescued, causes him extreme jubilance.
However, Sai Yuk's father, being a wanted rebel by the emperor, is captured, spurring Jet to come to his rescue and, hence, engaging in the climactic battle that ends the movie.
Fong Sai Yuk is without a doubt one of the greatest martial arts movies ever made.

So I started looking at the two versions and instantly it became clear that the UK BD had the technically better picture but the more I scrolled through the timeline the more I felt not happy with the UK BD because it was missing ALL color filters used in the original Hong Kong version (see pictures).
Some of you may still say, "yeah, but it looks so much better!"
Might be ..... but besides changing the whole story the UK version, missing day time filters is completely set at high noon or early evening while the original changes day times using filters (again sie pictures).
But not only that. The HK version actually has the better picture (see Jet Li/Michelle Reis pic) if you pay attention because it's more detailed. In the Jet/Michelle picture you can see the major difference looking at the burnird out forehead of Jet and Michelles black mass hair vs the HK original that provides mmuch more detail aka contrast!
On top of that the UK BD misses almost 10 minutes of film, that's a lot.
However, if you have the chance to get the UK BD cheap its still worth it for the 10 minute interview with Jeff Lau (writer) and the 20 min interview with Cory Yuen (director).
One more time BluRay has proven itself to be inferior to the DVD version for several reasons. My main reason to buy BD is not quality but room for more. :D
But buying BDs becomes more and more frustrating.
