They are both classic Jet Li films.
Both showcase Jet Li's immense martial arts prowess.
Both are set during a historical time in China with conflicts and underground resistance movements creating tension and issues.
'Fong Sai Yuk' has a more comedic vibe though, and so is less serious in tone from 'Once Upon A Time In China'.
Both have sequels made due to their popularity too.

Heroes could easily be compared to any martial arts drama and movie (particularly those starring Jet Li and Donnie Yen, and even Shaw Brothers' production).
There is an almost old school feel about the way Heroes was produced. The archetypal upright and stoic martial arts master, the stereotypical menacing and evil villain, the almost non-stop breathless action sequences, and of course, the final showdown (in the case of the drama, there's plenty of those).
In terms of the time period, production sets, story line and overall looks (half bald with pigtails, shadowless kicks and all), these 2 productions are almost indistinguishable.
