 The grandson of kungfu master Huo Yuanjia has lost a lawsuit against producers and distributors of Jet Li's film at the Beijing First Intermediate People's Court, where the case was heard last week. The court ruled that the film Fearless, was an exaggerated and fictitious portrait of the late Huo, one of China's most revered martial arts masters, but contained no defamatory or libelous depictions.
Huo Shoujin, 81, Huo Yuanjia's only surviving grandson on the Chinese mainland, had said the film contained fabrications of his grandfather's life and character, and it besmirched his reputation. Huo filed a lawsuit last March, seeking a halt to the global release of the film, and a written public apology.
