Fist Of Fury. 1972.

Chen Zen returns to Shanghai and discovers his mentor has died, the local Japanese martial arts school show up at the funeral and insult the Chinese and start bullying. Chen discovers his mentor was posioned and goes on a one man war against the Japanese pupils and their master.

Second film for Bruce Lee and second collaboration with Director Wei Lo from The Big Boss, watching this is like a period film dictating Shanghai only to find most of it was shot in a studio, the set pieces look fantastic. This is also the first film we see Bruce Lee using his nunchakus while fighting a dojo full of pupils, as soon as he pulls them out they may as well admit defeat. There is some racial content that was added by the director which caused disagreements and the last collaboration between the star and director, again the fight scenes are awesome.
