Bruce Lee's best film. Also known as The Chinese Connection and not to be confused with Fists of Fury (aka: The Big Boss)... confused yet?
Be warned though: This is the first time Bruce uses nunchucks in a film... your television might not be able to handle the epicness of that alone.
This movie ended up being remade by Jet Li (Fist of Legend) and also remade into a television series starring Donnie Yen.

I saw this as The Chinese Connection but it seems it’s more often known as Fist of Fury. I liked it. Bruce Lee is great. He really does have quite the presence and the fight scenes are well done. The one near the end where he fights the Russian dude was the highlight of this film. The story is a really basic one of vengeance over his teachers death. Lee really takes no prisoners here. A good watch.

It's called "Fist Of Fury"!!!!!
For the nunchaku scene alone this movie is the dog bollocks. It also has some of the best straight up martial arts choreography I've ever seen.

Enjoyed this more than Enter The Dragon. The fight scenes are better and more violent. The nude dancer was unexpected.

This is such a ridiculous and unintentionally funny film. I had forgotten how racist it was too.
But lbr people see this to watch Bruce Lee serve someone a can of woop ass. A classic.

Huijuijui, aus heutiger Sicht ist der Streifen echt unfreiwillig komisch! Sei es Lee's dauerndes Overacting, die deutsche Synchro, die hölzerne Lovestory oder die Anschlussfehler. Trotzdem, mit ein paar Bier und Kumpels ist Fist of Fury ein kurzweiliger Spaß für zwischendurch.

Unlike The Big Boss (Fists of Fury), this has more martial arts and some serious acting. Despite the awful screenplay, Was Bruce Lee able to give me Goosebumps ? Hell, YES. It's a Fan-boy's movie.

The story is just used as an excuse so that Bruce Lee can run around kicking the living shit out of everyone in brutal screamy fashion. Great stuff.

As much as I liked THE BIG BOSS, I still had apprehensions for the prospects of a "Lee-athon", chiefly because of the main fallacy of any star-driven martial arts vehicle: The need for presenting a success story of force, applied to a myriad of villains whose only function is that of a foulmouthed punching bag. FIST OF FURY circumvents this practice by offering a tale about bitter revenge and haywire nationalism, which almost results in the annihilation of the hero's community. As a consequence, the kinetic power of the physical spectacle discharges into its tragic narrative frame and achieves an awesome, most sensuous kind of cinema.
