Fist of fury 1972 movie#

The fight scenes are amongst the best I've ever seen in a martial arts movie and I have watched a lot of them. His anger and grief surface on more than occasion and in spectacular fashion. He dispatches his enemies without a second thought and without conscience. He displays almost no humour or charm and is strictly business. Bruce Lee is a more hard-edged character in this film. Should that be the other way round? Soon, all hell breaks loose as Lee exerts his own brand of justice - in Kung Fu style! There is added tension in the story, courtesy of the Chinese citizens being under the control of the Japanese. The action and violence rarely lets up and with a somewhat downbeat ending unlike WOTD and Enter the Dragon, you shouldn't finish the film feeling you got anything less than what you expected. Again, many of them don't have much to do because after all this is Lee's show. Given most of the running time consists of people dying and being hung from lamp posts, if this actually bothers you, you shouldn't really be watching a HK martial arts film in the first place.The supporting cast includes many regular Lee collaborators, including the beautiful Nora Miao as his love interest. As with 'The Big Boss', there is some unnecessary nudity and other rather pointless scenes that add nothing to the film, but at the same time do not detract anything from its chop socky nature. The climax featuring the fight with the Russian wrestler is nowhere near the same level as Lee's legendary fight with Chuck Norris in Way of the Dragon, but it is bloody and brilliant nether the less. And you won't be disappointed as the action on display here is some of the best Lee has offered. Characterisation and basically nothing special besides the action, but if you are watching a Bruce Lee film you shouldn't be looking for these things in the first place.
