Bruce Lee’s 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.
Shanghai, 1910. Chen Zhen (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 Fist of Fury is a thrill-a-minute action spectacular that also turned out to be his final collaboration with director Lo Wei.
