Fist Of Fury (1972)
Star: Bruce Lee
Director: Lo Wei
Fist of Fury Synopsis
Bruce Lee’s second film for Golden Harvest, Fist of Fury, swiftly broke all the box office records set by his previous film The Big Boss, and launched one of the most iconic characters in Chinese action cinema in Chen Zhen, since played in other films by Jet Li and Donnie Yen.
Shanghai, 1910. Chen (Lee) returns from study abroad to find that his beloved martial arts teacher has died under mysterious circumstances. Chen immediately suspects members of a rival Japanese dojo, who bully his fellow students and denigrate the Chinese at every turn. Revenge on his mind, Chen starts a one-man war on the Japanese, making him public enemy number one – and he won’t go down without a fight!
Boasting many of Lee’s most iconic set pieces – not least when he tells his enemies that the Chinese are “not the sick men of Asia!” – Fist of Fury is a thrill-a-minute action spectacular that also turned out to be his final collaboration with director Lo Wei, who would attempt to launch the career of stuntman Jackie Chan (briefly seen in this film) a few years later in the sequel New Fist of Fury.

Technical Details
Please check out my YouTube video if you’ve not done so already. In the video I say I have no idea why this is just a ONE disc release. You would have thought Arrow could have included Disc 10– the documentaries from the ‘Bruce Lee At Golden Harvest box set. Especially because they are ALL the same price. Let me know what you make of it here or on YouTube
