Awesome Movie

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I did not watch all of it. I downloaded it awhile back. It seemed foolish. Three Chinese people hate the Japanese. There is a woman and 2 males one male is to fat to do any of this Kung Fu stuff. They are in Shanghai and get help going to Taiwan with the intent of revenge to fight the Japanese. Jackie Chan is in this and his name is listed as Jacky Chan not Jackie Chan. "Detel Choi and Alan Linn" are not listed. "Nora Miao" is listed on this sight. Also the music name in the beginning of the movie is "Tong Wah" not the one listed on this page with I think this version is in a different language and they try to make it sound like the characters are speaking English. This movie was produced by "Alpha Films". So I don't know if this is the same movie but when it starts it says "New Fist of Fury"Chan gets into a fight with two men. In other films he always comes out a winner. Well not in the beginning of this film about 9 minutes in he gets beat up by 2 men. He wants to act brave and talks like he is brave and says things like: "You bastards", "I hate your guts","Kiss my ass go on".It does not sound like Jackie Chan's voice. Later there are a group of men and women getting drunk. Just seemed like a very tacky movieI did not waste my time watching the rest of it.

Review: This is a very authentic Kung Fu movie which I found quite amusing because of its funny dubbing and old skool storyline, we're a pupil is out to revenge his master. The old ones are always the best! Jackie Chan was a young looking 22 year old when he starred in this movie and his martial arts skills wasn't as polished as they are in his latter movies but the epic showdown at the end was still quite good. Chan plays A Lung, who steals from the rich with his father, who he also lives with. After turning down many Kung Fu schools because he doesn't like the fact that he would have to change his lifestyle, he finally joins a school because he is fed up with the way that the Japanese are putting down the Chinese way of training. One of the Japanese Kung Fu school leaders, wants to make all of the Chinese martial arts schools come under his umbrella but all of them want to stay independent so the conflict turns to violence. He offers all of the schools to a battle for power but his elite squad easily take out the Chinese top fighters. When he finally gets to challenge A Lungs school, an epic showdown between there top fighters takes place and the Japanese leader uses underarm tactics to try and take out A Lung. I just admit, the action scenes were not the best and some of the fighting was really slow but the determination from Chan in the final showdown was great. There was a hint of silly comedy at the beginning but once the movie gets going, the politics between the Japanese and Chinese schools was quite interesting. I doubt they could make a movie like this in this day and age because it's not really politically correct but with that aside you can really see how much Chan stood out from the rest at such a young age. I can't really see how it's connected to the original Fist of Fury, which Chan also starred in and I do think that people will be a bit disappointing because they might be expecting something close to the original, which starred the brilliant Bruce Lee. Anyway, you can't fault this movie for its authenticity and believable cinematography but the action scenes were a bit weak. Watchable!Round-Up: This movie was made a few years before Chan hit it big with Drunken Master but he still had a few movies behind him so he wasn't new to the big screen. His acting was quite impressive, for that day and age and the straight forward storyline was interesting throughout. The director, Wei Lo, who died in 1996 of heart failure, also directed the original Fist of Fury and the Big Boss which both starred the great Bruce Lee, so he was one of the lucky directors to have worked with the best in the martial arts world. He had made over 60 movies in his career, most of which I can't pronounce because they were made in China but he will always be remembered for the movies that he made with Bruce Lee which have become timeless masterpieces. Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: HK$456,787.20I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/martial arts/dramas starring Jackie Chan, Ming Cheng Chang and Shen Lin Chang. 5/10

(this text is from an email i wrote immediately after watching the movie)Wow Nate, I just watched a Jacky Chan movie called New Fist of Fury. This movie is the sequel to Bruce Lee's Chinese Connection (known in Asia as Fists of Fury, I think?)!This is another one of those Jacky Chan movies that is not so funny at all. Actually the movie was downright depressing and infuriating. It's a great movie; it takes the Bruce Lee classic one step further. Just watching the Japanese disrespect and even kill the Chinese made me so upset during the whole time that I just started to lift weights and work out as an outlet for the hurt I felt.It's hard watching racial discrimination on this scale... the setting here was Taiwan and the Japanese were in total control of the island. It's hard to believe but the prejudice in this movie was even worse than in the Chinese Connection. The treatment of Chinese in this movie was brutal, to say the least. Jacky Chan turned in another passionate, violent, un-humorous performance; the kind of which he is not known for nowadays. I highly recommend this flick.On another note, at the end of the DVD they had a bio of Chan and it said he moved to Australia at a very young age, and he studied martial arts there! I had no idea; I find that amazing.

This is the first film for Jackie as a new Kung-Fu star after the miss of Bruce Lee. Jackie has kept being very popular in Japan since late 70's. When I was a kid,I saw the picture of original Hong Kong made poster of this and dreamed to see this film in the theatre someday -- because this is "part-2" of that Bruce Lee's masterpiece, and the director was Lo-Wei, the same guy who directed original Fist of Fury!!!!...But this one has never shown in Japanese movie theatre at all. Some of Jackie's Kung-Fu films in 70's are so shabby, they are almost garbages (Mostly because of Lo-Wei).But Jackie's Kung-Fu actions in this one is one of the best in his 70's. But if you are Bruce Lee fan and will see this as "Part-2" of his masterpiece "FIST OF FURY", DON'T TOUCH THIS!! Maybe you will be mad and burn this video.
