60 of 126 · most liked firstReleased #OTD in 1972 #filmsky Because of the movie's racial content and personal disagreements, Bruce Lee quit working with Writer and Director Wei Lo after this movie. Originally Fist of Fury then re-released under new title to capitalize on success of The French Connection

neutral · AI labelView post →As a #Junesploitation bonus on '90s Action day I watched "Fist of Legend" aka. 精武英雄 (1994) - Director: Gordon Chan This remake of the Bruce Lee classic "Fist of Fury" starring Jet Li has some of the most hard hitting, bone-breaking action scenes ever put on film and I was lapping up every second!
neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking about "heroes need to get beat up" while watching FIST OF LEGEND this morning. It's a remake of FIST OF FURY and like that movie, you can probably count on one hand the number of hits Chen Zen takes. (In both movies together, honestly) and yet it works.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've watched three Bruce Lee films this month, and I have to say that I thought The Way of the Dragon was a lot more interesting than The Big Boss or Fist of Fury. A movie about identity as much as kung fu. Bonus: 1970s Italian fashion Malus: Chuck Norris' chest hair

positive · AI labelView post →NEW FIST OF FURY (1976) Need a stoic, unfunny actor for your movie? Yeah, that guy Jackie Chan should be perfect.
neutral · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: The fight scenes were choreographed by Donnie Yen. For this film, Yen mentioned that he included nunchaku and the screaming elements as a tribute to Bruce Lee, who played Chen Zhen in the 1972 film ‘Fist Of Fury’. (Wikipedia) 🖤

neutral · AI labelView post →finally got to watching Fist of Fury (1972) tonight. it really felt like what if Ip Man REALLY wanted those guys dead, I was genuinely shocked at how ferocious Bruce Lee moved in this movie. The final fight scene, especially the last 5 mins basically invented Hokuto no Ken too. Wondrous classic

neutral · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: In 1971, 'The Big Boss' was the highest grossing film of all time in Hong Kong, beating out American productions 'The Sound Of Music' (1965) and 'Tora! Tora! Tora!' (1970). It remained the highest grossing film until the Bruce Lee film ‘Fist Of Fury’ was released in 1972. (Wikipedia) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →watched Fist of Fury (1971). It's been so long since I've watched a Bruce Lee movie, I think I was a child when I saw him last, so this is pretty fresh. Very flashy and violent movie with some great fights. Does drag a little in the third act, but not much.
positive · AI labelView post →Fist of Fury is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's a Bruce Lee film with stunning martial arts and a tense and tragic story about the cycle of revenge enhanced with real-world context. And I learned yesterday it has at least three sequels starring Bruce Lee impersonators. 😬
positive · AI labelView post →Now watching Fist of Fury (1972) starring some fellow named Bruce Lee. Just one furious fist, huh? I guess the other fist is chill and relaxed and doesn't punch anybody. I'm going to assume that that's the central conflict of this movie #Filmsky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Someone at work asked what's his best movie and the few responses were all for Enter the Dragon or Way of the Dragon and that's wrong, his best film is Fist of Fury. But that the other films work at all is proof of his unmatched star power.

positive · AI labelView post →My personal fav Jet Li film is "Fist of Legend", where he re-made Bruce Lee's second film "Fist of Fury" (released as The Chinese Connection in the U.S. for years) It's the film that made The Wachowskis call up Li's film choreographer, Yuen Woo-ping You don't have The Matrix without Fist of Legend
neutral · AI labelView post →46. Fist of Fury (movie, 1972) I'm not really a huge fan of these hot-blooded revenge stories and Chenzhen is kind of an idiot, but I do like that they were able to infuse some pathos in it by basing it around the Japanese occupation of Shanghai and the action was really good. I liked it overall.

positive · AI labelView post →Every now and then I hear rumblings about remakes of Fist of Fury or Enter the Dragon as though what made those movies good was the plot or high concept and not a unique melding of movie stardom and martial arts talent that was Bruce Lee.

neutral · AI labelView post →Fist of Fury (1972) - Lo Wei Despite Lo Wei being...well Lo Wei, Fist of Fury is a fun action revenge film with Bruce Lee in the titular role of Chenzhen. Lots of great moments and bits here.
positive · AI labelView post →Just finished watching Fist of Fury for the second time - the first was at least 35 years ago - and weirdly I think I enjoyed it more than my long-ago teen self did. My slow Bruce Lee retrospective began in May with The Big Boss, so will probably get to The Way of the Dragon sometime in November. 😉
positive · AI labelView post →I'm still so hyped, this movie was really really good y'all of course you are talking to someone who loves flashy martial arts movies! Enter the Dragon, Fist of Fury, Kill Bill, Karate Kid... I even kind of enjoyed the Tekken movie but maybe that was bc the lead was like really hot
positive · AI labelView post →Easily my favorite Bruce Lee film. It’s just so good. My ★★★★½ review of Fist of Fury on @letterboxd.social: boxd.it/dgcb8H
positive · AI labelView post →Age yourself with a film you saw in cinema as a kid. Was dropped off to see 1972 reissue of "101 Dalmations"...so I went down the street to see "Fist of Fury". The MPAA be damned, EVERYBODY got in for kung fu and grindhouse and horror. Smelled of dead rats and stale popcorn, and it was wonderful.

neutral · AI labelView post →New Fist of Fury (1976) Lo Wei (director) Jackie Chan's first widely released film. It's not as bad as reputation has it, but of course, it's unlike the films he became known for. Watching the 2 hour theatrical cut (which I've never seen) on the new Arrow blu ray. 📽

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Game of Death. Half an hour into the film, not-Bruce Lee gets shot in the face filming the end of Fist of Fury, and so fakes his death to go after the people who did it. This is the disguise, the "new face" he chooses: a stick-on beard and Bruce Lee sunglasses.
neutral · AI labelView post →For the latest Iris In Audio, we watched the Brucespolitation film Fist of Fury Pt. 2! The wonderful Lo Lieh is woefully underutilized in this middling-to-bad kung fu flick. www.patreon.com/posts/iris-i...
negative · AI labelView post →It needs to be noted that the editor on MANY of these films was Peter Cheung Yiu Chung. He began his career in 1972. Fist of Fury was his SECOND film, and he worked on 166 films up to 2000. This might be the greatest filmography in kung fu cinema: www.imdb.com/name/nm01516...
neutral · AI labelView post →We have a friend who’s been crashing with us, and she’s never really watched any martial arts movie. So I’ve been showing her a new classic every night. Last night was Fist of Fury, tonight is The Protector. Tomorrow I’m thinking something with Jet Li.
