“First I will say that, yes I did enjoy Bruce Leeu0026#39;s u0026quot;Fist of Furyu0026quot;, but I also enjoyed this pseudo-sequel as well. There wasnu0026#39;t all that much reference back to the first movie if you look at it, sure Chen Zhen was mentioned, as was Jing Wu, but beyond that, then there wasnu0026#39;t all that much reference. And I found that u0026quot;New Fist of Furyu0026quot; was actually an adequate movie in itself. Watch it for what it is, a Kung Fu movie meant for entertaining.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is fairly simple, a young man living as a thief comes to be forced into learning Kung Fu at the Jing Wu academy during the time when Taiwan was occupied by Japanese troops. And this young man embodies the Taiwanese spirit and fights for an independent Taiwan, standing up to the Japenese occupational force.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBear in mind that this is an early Jackie Chan movie, and it was before all the slapstick comedy became his trademark, so this is a more serious Kung Fu movie compared to most other of his movies. Being a movie from 1976, you of course have the odd sound effects during the Kung Fu scenes and fairly questionable acting compared to todayu0026#39;s standards.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere was a good amount of nice fighting throughout the movie, however I think the last showdown, the climax of the movie, was actually a little bit too much drawn out, taking a bit too long to finish. And then the scene when the movie ends was rather anti-climatic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie in itself is a well worthy addition to any Jackie Chan fanu0026#39;s DVD collection, especially because it is outside of the usual slapstick comedy genre of Kung Fu.”
