Review of New Fist of Fury (1976) by John A — 03 Oct 2012
Jackie Chan Is The Only Man Who Could Star In A Sequel To A Bruce Lee Film & Get Away With It. Director Lo Wei Returns To Direct While Nora Miao Reprises Her Role From The First Film (Bruce Lee's Girlfriend), To Exact Vengeance On The Japanese.
Here We See A Young Chan (Who Was Under Contract With Wei's Company At The Time), Take Up The Fight Against Another Japanese Martial Arts School Hell Bent On Destroying Chinese Academies In Taiwan.
Only Thing Is Chan Is No Match At The Start As He Has No Martial Arts Skills, So As A Bonus We Get To See Him Go Through A Gruelling Training Before He Heads Out To Dispense Justice. This Film Might Have Flopped At The Asian Box Office, But Is An Enjoyable Classic.
This Is A Chance To See Chan In His Formative Years, With A Tougher, Bloodier & More Vengeance Filled Role. Unfortunately The Film's Plot Is A Bit To Similar Of It's Predecessor.
