Universal is kicking it up for their December 19 release of Jet Li's Fearless.

Synopsis:
Inspired by the story of a real-life hero, Jet Li's Fearless is a thrilling masterpiece from action superstar Jet Li. When an ill-advised fight destroys the reputation of a renowned martial arts champion (Li) and his family, his difficult path to redemption will bring him face-to-face with the most ferocious fighters in the world. Orchestrated by Yuen Wo Ping, the legendary choreographer of The Matrix and "Kill Bill," this sensational, riveting epic is being described as "astounding" and "visually stunning with brilliantly executed fight sequences" (Pete Hammond, Maxim).

The world's foremost martial arts superstar steps into the role of the most famous fighter in Chinese history when Jet Li's Fearless comes to DVD and HD DVD/ DVD combo format on December 19, 2006 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Jet Li, the acclaimed star of the films Unleashed and Hero, marks his farewell to the martial arts genre in Jet Li's Fearless, an epic masterpiece that powerfully combines unparalleled fight sequences and masterful storytelling.

The film is inspired by the larger-than-life accomplishments of the martial arts icon and founder of the Jingwu Sports Federation, Huo Yuanjia. With explosive fights scenes by legendary action choreographer Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix, "Kill Bill"), the new Unrated Edition of Jet Li's Fearless contains some of the most hard-hitting hand-to-hand combat ever captured on film. A can't-miss experience for dedicated action fans, the DVD is the only place the film is available with English dubbing as well as in the original Chinese with English subtitles.

A high-powered, action-packed adventure from producer Bill Kong ("Crouching Tiger," "Hidden Dragon" and Hero) and director Ronny Yu ("Freddy vs. Jason," "The Bride with White Hair") Jet Li's Fearless is based on the heroic real-life saga of fighter and national hero Huo Yuanjia. Set in China at the turn of the last century, Huo's transformation from an arrogant and ruthless young fighter to a wise and thoughtful master defined the true spirit of martial arts and inspired his nation. Fans of extreme action and spectacular martial arts sequences will delight in the exclusive extras and bonuses packed into the DVD. The DVD is priced at $29.98 and the HD DVD/ DVD combo format is priced at $39.98. Preorder close is November 14, 2006.
