Since Lo Wei represented Bruce in New Fist of Fury with stills from Enter the Dragon, I suppose there must have been a lack of FOF photos, except this film has an opening montage of stills from the original. A talky, 2 hour slog, which underused Lo’s new discovery, Jackie Chan, New Fist of Fury was an underwhelming attempt to rekindle past glories – this was made even more obvious by another Taiwanese sequel to Fist of Fury, produced the same year, which ended up feeling a lot more like the original than the sequel from the actual director of the original did!įist of Fury Part II follows on from the original at the funeral of Chen Zhen (Bruce Lee), represented by a photo of Lee from… Way of the Dragon.

The differences between those two cultures are interesting to analyze. 'Fist of Fury' is however a cool historical testimony of the hate between Chinese and Japanese. I don't expect him to be in love, but to be cold and brutal. I found the romance plot quite insipid but it is surely due to Lee's strange acting. The pace and the way the images are presented are okay. Sometimes it feels like cartoon and sometimes like hard reality. The fracture between fist fights and death is tenuous and contributes to make Lee's character more dangerous than he really should be. One thing weird about fights is when the level of violence suddenly increases like when you see blood on the screen. It is surely to be linked to the age of the movie but all these *woosh woosh* sounds during fist fights are way too outdated. However the FX and sound effects appear to be as poor as repetitive or even inadequate. They are punctuated by Lee's dynamism and choregraphies. It feels like he never really learns from the consequences. In that way it is hard to have empathy for him because his behaviours all follow the same sheme: anger and then remorse. And when he don't have this angry facial expression he barely has none. He plays it so intensely that the important scenes lost their authenticity and then sadly become laughable. All the yellings he does while fighting don't help. present ? I mean he does act a lot but it is way too often the same face, the one that could have an angry disruptive child.

It's got an interesting plot, alright acting, some very bloody, smart and amazingly shot action sequences. Overall, Fist Of Fury is honestly an interestingly good movie. I almost forgot to mention, the action sequence which Chen has with the "No Dogs And Chinese Allowed" sign is honestly brilliant, I loved that scene so much. Also, the sound effects which have been used throughout this movie have been used so many times but it's honestly hilarious, when we hear them. The action sequences throughout this movie are pretty hilarious but they can be pretty bloody, smart and amazingly shot. The movie's got some alright acting, it's mainly Chen Zhen (Bruce Lee) who's the main character, who's really good and really hilarious at the same time throughout this movie. After the news, this makes Chen want to retaliate and get his revenge. He later finds out his master Huo Yuanjia has died and he's died due to an illness, this makes Chen devastated. After the news, this makes Chen want Fist Of Fury has a very interesting plot, which is pretty much about Chen Zhen (Bruce Lee) coming back to Jingwu school to marry his fiancee.
