Bruce Lee was so awesome. This movie is one of the best collections of badass facial expressions I have ever seen. Chen (Bruce Lee) returns to Shanghai after the sudden death of his master only to find that Japanese tough guys are insulting his school. With the honor of all China at stake, Chen must determine how his master was killed and punish the perpetrators, while also upholding the Ching Wu style.
I don't know if it was the subtitles or the age of the film, but this story is more coherently told in Fist of Legend with Jet Li. The precursor is, of course, Fearless, also with Jet Li. Fist of Legend also deals with more of the prejudice in the Sino-Japanese relations at the time. Fist of Fury is really more about Bruce Lee punching the shit out of things and people. You can't go wrong with either one, honestly. Bruce Lee was an incredible talent who died far too soon.
