Jing wu men (Chinese Connection)

One of Bruce Lee's best action films it is based on a a somewhat true story. There was some confusion back in the day on this one as it's international release title was FIST OF FURY and in America his prior film to this was distributed as FIST OF FURY so a title change was in order. On a small side note Jackie Chan doubled the bad guy actor Riki Hashimoto in several fight scenes. You may get the sense of having seen this all before but it is important to remember this was where most of what you've "seen before" was ripped-off from.

I love Bruce Lee films, but my personal fave is The Way of the Dragon (aka The Return of the Dragon). The fight scene with Chuck Norris at the Colosseum, the double-nunchaku scene behind the restaurant, the humour... Great stuff. (And directed by Lee, too.)
