New Fist of Fury (Theatrical cut - Mandarin audio)
Martial Arts Mayhem • Action, Drama
1976 • Hong Kong • Directed by Lo Wei
Almost five years after breaking all Hong Kong box office records with the instant classic Fist of Fury, his last collaboration with the late Bruce Lee, director Lo Wei got to work on a sequel. It would be the first major leading role for Lo’s latest discovery, a young actor who had been a stuntman on the original film but would soon be as massive a star as Lee. His name: Jackie Chan.
Shanghai, 1910. With the Jing Wu martial arts school in shambles and pressure from the Japanese armies to suppress a Chinese uprising after Chen Zhen’s martyrdom, Chen’s fiancée Mao Li Erh (Nora Miao, reprising her role from Fist of Fury) escapes to Japanese-occupied Taiwan to hide at her grandfather’s school. Despite her attempts to lay low, she runs afoul of karate master Okimura (Chan Sing, The Iron-Fisted Monk), who plans to take over all of the Chinese-run schools in Taiwan. Amidst all of this, a young aimless thief, known only as Ah Lung (Jackie Chan), befriends Mao after unknowingly stealing the nunchaku once yielded by the late Chen. Will he give into his fears, or will he learn the martial arts of Jing Wu and fight alongside Mao against the Japanese?
Considered to be one of the few “official” sequels to a Bruce Lee film, New Fist of Fury is the first spark that would eventually lead Jackie Chan to becoming the worldwide star he is today! This is the Theatrical cut with Mandarin audio.
