Fists of Fury (aka The Chinese Connection) ** 1/2 (First Viewing)
Chen Zhen returns to the international compound of China only to learn of his beloved teacher's death. This is compounded by the continual racist harassment by the Japanese population in the area. Unlike his friends, he confronts it head on with his mastery of martial arts while investigating his teacher's murder.
Either this or Enter the Dragon is my favorite Bruce Lee movie. The opening fight in the Japanese Dojo was great and Bruce Lee was just crazy in this film. He really seemed to take great pleasure in killing those responsible for his master's death. The sets were great and were very clean with plenty of room to move around them.
Warning, Spoiler:
For the second straight film, Bruce is put under arrest at the end. Although I liked the ending of this one were he ran for the gunman and was (as I was lead to believe) killed from the gunshots heard
