Fist of Fury (1972)
10/10
2nd major movie of Bruce Lee
16 September 2010
This is the 2nd major movie from Bruce Lee after "The Big Boss". Bruce Lee is Chen Zhen who comes home to find that his teacher is dead. He reasons that his teacher was a healthy man and deduces that there must have been a foul play. He decides to stick around the school and look for clues.

Seeking revenge of a loved one is one of the essential themes in Asian movies. There are also American movies that work that theme (Charles Bronson's Death Wish franchise seems to be inspired by this concept of revenge and chasing down the bad guys).

Bruce Lee's martial art technique is simply immaculate, almost divine. Leonardo Da Vinci painted, Mozart composed and Bruce Lee kicked ass. This movie has more action and fight scenes than his first movie, The Big Boss. He takes on several different prominent opponents. I could have given this a 7 rating but the way the fight scenes are choreographed, I think it deserves an 8. Brucee Lee was really one of a kind. He is dearly missed.
