Fearless, known in Chinese as Huo Yuanjia (Chinese: ; pinyin: Huň Yuán Jia) and Jet Li's Fearless in the United Kingdom and the United States, is a 2006 Hong Kong Chinese martial arts action film directed by Ronny Yu and starring Jet Li. It is loosely based on the life of Huo Yuanjia, a famous Chinese martial artist who challenged foreign fighters in highly publicised events, restoring pride and nationalism to China at a time when Western imperialism and Japanese manipulation were eroding the country during the last few years before the birth of the Republic of China. Li stated in an interview that this film is his last wushu martial arts epic, a point also made in the movie's television promotions and other publicity.
