The Legendary Fok is a Hong Kong television series based on the life story of Chinese martial artist Huo Yuanjia (Cantonese: Fok Yuen-gap). It includes a subplot based on the biography of Chen Zhen (Cantonese: Chan Zan), a fictional student of Huo and protagonist of the 1972 film Fist of Fury. The series was first broadcast in 1981 on RTV (now ATV) in Hong Kong.
A remake of the series, The Legendary Fok 2008, was released in 2008. It was directed by Kuk Kwok-leung and starred Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan, Zhou Muyin, Bryan Leung, Ding Li and Qu Yue.
The opening theme song of The Legendary Fok, performed by Johnny Yip, was used again for The Legendary Fok 2008 and The Legend of Huo Yuanjia (2002). However, the theme song for the latter was performed by a different singer and was in Mandarin instead of Cantonese.
