Featured review
In this world of guns n knives, Tang Lung is respectd wherever he goes cos of his fist fights n nunchukas.
I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs, then again in the early 2k on a dvd which I own.
Revisited it recently.
As a kid from the 80s n aft seeing this movie, i was in awe aft witnessing the nunchukas fight sequence.
This one gets a bit repetitive cos of the same goons who keeps on getting thrashed by the character of Lee but they keep on coming back. One of the fat goon with a beard looks like poor man's Russell Crowe.
The best n the most memorable is the treatment of the fight in the Colosseum with Chuck Norris with a cat as a spectator.
In this one Lee plays Tang Lung, a kung fu expert who is sent from Hong Kong to Italy by his uncle to help family friends whose restaurant business is threatened by a mafia boss.
This one showcases Lee's immense energy n amazing fighting skills, especially the way his feet moves.
He mimicked Mohammad Ali's float like a butterfly style.
Lee is allowed to have a sense of humor in this movie.
This one aint gory like The Big Boss.
Ping-Ou Wei (famous for playing the interpreter in this one n the Fist of Fury) acted very well. His body language is total effeminate, especially his limp wristed n running style is a big lol.
Another best fight sequence is the one in the alley with the nunchukas.
