Fearless, also known as Huo Yuanjia (霍元甲) in Chinese, and as Jet Li's Fearless in the United Kingdom and in the United States, is a 2006 Chinese-Hong Kong martial arts film directed by Ronny Yu and starring Jet Li. It is loosely based on the life of Huo Yuanjia, a 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 in the final years of the Qing Dynasty 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 film's television promotions and other publicity.
Fearless was released on 26 January 2006 in Hong Kong, on 23 June 2006 in the United Kingdom, and on 22 September 2006 in the United States.
The film starts with Huo Yuanjia fighting three Westerners: a British boxer, a Belgian lancer, and a Spanish fencer. Huo defeats all three of them and has a flashback before the next fight with a Japanese fighter Anno Tanaka.

Plot: A New York magnate and his wife are upset that their daughter Muriel intends to enter a beauty pageant in Ocean Beach; "What will the Vanderbilts think?," they lament. The wife hires "Fearless," a man who says he'll do anything for $1000, to find a way to keep Muriel from entering the contest. "Fearless" turns out to be a rather clumsy and unprepossessing man whom Muriel meets on the train to Ocean Beach. Not knowing who she is, he tells her all about the job he's on. Later, when the contest is about to start, he sees her again and asks her help in keeping the elusive Ms. Evans out of the contest. Muriel is happy to help. Will "Fearless" succeed? And what about the $1,000?

These men thirst for blood, they are my enemies. Drive out the fear that has taken my heart.
They cast their stones and lies are on their tongues. I make this oath: my words will never denounce You.
What can these men do to me? They can kill my body but never kill my soul.
And even now, staring death in the face, my heart will not stray.
I am not afraid to die! I am not afraid to die!
I am not afraid to die! I am not afraid to die!
No I'm not afraid... not afraid to die!
I am not afraid... I am not afraid to die!
By His name I stand. By His word I stand. And by His Son I stand. You will never break me! Death has no hold on me. Eternity is mine.
They cast their stones and lies are on their tongues. I make this oath: to always love You.
They cast their stones and lies are on their tongues. I make this oath... I give up my life for the One who gave up His life for me.
I give up my life for the One who gave up His life for me.
Forgive these ones my God; they know not what they do.
