Fist Of Fury [1993] [DVD]
L**3
This Fist still has the impact of a Sledgehammer.
My Personal favorite Bruce Lee film 'Fist of Fury' ( 1972) is given the Blu Ray treatment and Medium Rare have done a great job.The picture is much improved since the Hong Kong Legends excellent platinum edition. What was really exciting is that Medium rare have also rectified the sound mix problems that were on the English dub in the Hong Kong Legends Platinum DVD.Restored is the missing line of dialogue spoken by Nora Miao to Bruce Lee in the graveyard scene. On that disc all you saw was her lips moving. The line is- for you trivia fans- " and now will you tell me about your plans" Also corrected is the missing ( on English dub) blood curdling scream that Bruce unleashes at the climax of the film. On the HK legends all you heard was the 'Fist Of Fury' theme song sung by Mike Remidios. Also for those who prefer listening to the English dub. The voice of the villain Petrov is by a member of the Golden Harvest dubbing team. In all other dubs Petrov's voice is dubbed by Bruce Lee himself doing a mean Russian accent. The HK Legends Disc for some odd reason inserted this onto the old English dub probably thinking it would please the fans. Also you not only still get the choice of the Cantonese and Mandarin dubs but also a hybrid American dub too. Foley effects sound great and are very dramatic in the amazing hard hitting fight scenes.The extras are the same featured on the Hong Kong legends disc and the menu is nicely presented while backed by the famous Joseph Koo theme tune. There is also the addition of a 24 page booklet (with reversible art work) which gives background into the true story that ' Fist Of Fury' is based on. This was the first Bruce Lee film I ever saw at the cinema and its impact has never lessened. Bruce Lees portrayal of Chen Zhen is a of a man tipped over the edge by his Kung Fu masters death and he goes insane. The fights therefore are a reflection of his insane ferociousness and Bruce Lee is absolutely terrifying to behold as he screams, punches and kicks his way to gain his revenge. And its all uncut and uncensored.

One, if not the best martial arts movie ever made.
Lots say that Enter The Dragon was the best Bruce Lee flick but Fist of Fury has easily one of the most iconic moments from any Lee movie and that is the dojo scene. Fist has always been my favourite of his movies it is even better when watched in the original language format and not dubbed because the actors voices in the dubbed version are not very good and aged quite badly. Overall this is definitely a film any Bruce Lee fan needs to have among their collection of his best ever.

A Bruce Lee masterpiece!
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from start to finish, a true martial arts perspective where Bruce Lee is concerned! The plot, direction and cast are superb and you really get to see the athletic abilities of all the fighters in addition to BL who is just superb in taking out the bad guys! This version includes English audio which fits the movie nicely and isn't too jarring.Video quality is fantastic, the movie is nicely upscaled to HD resolution and plays back wonderful on my 4K TV.If you're a BL fan, this movie is the one to watch. One of BL's greatest for sure.

Bruce Lee Is Finally available on Bluray in the UK and they have done a great job. All his iconic films have been released and they are also packed full of extras and the films have been restored frame by frame like the films were made yesterday. The Covers are double sided with the film poster in the sleeve so you can change it if you wish, and also has a tiny booklet with information about the film overall Great Bluray set and Great Film.

46 years old and still so brilliant!
Bruce Lee would have I think had he lived become one of the biggest action stars ever! almost certainly as big a name as Tom Cruise or Arnold Swartzenegger (is that the correct spelling?) and any other big male lead you can think of! this film and the others in his catalogue I think prove that! fantastically agile and athletic, in a time when Hollywood actors were still just having punch ups in bars like they always had done in John Wayne Western movies and so on! this fighting was a breakthrough back then when it reached western audiences like the US, and UK, France and the rest of Europe. nobody had ever really seen this outside the Far East till Bruce exploded on the big screens! he was a game changer for the film industry!

Classic
An all-time classic of Hong Kong martial arts cinema made spectacular by the legendary skills of quite possibly the greatest martial artist of all time, Bruce Lee. Based on a real character, Chen Zhen, a student of legendary Kung Fu master Huo Yuan Jia, this film was immensely popular in Hong Kong upon it's release by playing on the patriotism of the Chinese and their hate for the Japanese. Bruce Lee's character Chen is a furiously patriotic Chinese Kung Fu expert determined to stop the Japanese from bullying his countrymen and to prove that his Chinese Kung Fu is superior to their Japanese styles of karate, aikido etc. He doesn't do this by halves. Charging into a Japanese training dojo and taking on a whole class of Japanese martial arts students before tossing their sensei around like a rag doll and literally making them eat their words about the Chinese, Bruce showcases the incredible martial arts skills which have secured his place in history as an internationally famous legend and icon.
