A young man, Chen, returns to Shanghai to marry his fiancée to discover that his martial arts teacher has died. The circumstances surrounding his death start to appear suspicious when a local Japanese martial arts school starts harassing the students at the Chinese school in an attempt to drive them out of the area. Chen is intent on revenge for the death of his mentor.
An entertaining, action-packed Bruce Lee film. Plot is okay and better than your average martial arts movie, not that this says much. It's still a bit contrived and filled with convenient discoveries and turns of events but for the most part the plot is decent.
Production values are good and performances are mostly okay, with a few exceptions.
Obviously it's the action scenes that stand out in movies like this and Fist of Fury is no exception. Exciting, well-choreographed fight scenes that are plausible - none of the stupid hanging-in-mid-air, 6-metre-high jumps with somersault or similar contrivances here.
Good entertainment.
