Summary: Is this the best master they could dub from?
Review: I would have liked to have seen this film in its original state and not the saturday afternoon TV version that I received. The master in which they used to make this DVD has scratches all over it. I cannot believe that this was best available master. It's a shame, because the movie is fantastic.

Summary: Morality and a pretty girl
Review: This story is set in Shanghai about a riot between a Japanese and Chinese group. Bruce Lee wants to revenge the death of the master and kills some Japanese. Meanwhile his people cannot find him, at night he stays in a graveyard. Only his beautiful fiancee knows his whereabouts. In the end he is taken in by the Chinese police, because he wants to have justice. The very end of the movie shows justice in a different way... (Think Butch Cassidy).It's another great Bruce Lee movie with of course amazing fighting scenes. His screams and faces sometimes are a little silly but his moves are amazing.

Summary: The oriental revenge!
Review: Shangai , first years of the new century. The schoolmaster of Chen Chen (Bruce Lee)is murdered , so his pupil decides to take revenge.
First at all , the films that look around this argument are certainly , countless , but it what it remarks this film is the particular commitment and approach given by Lee . The main rival comes from a japanese bushido school.
Lee wasn't an actor ; and that's what it becomes his main strength ; he makes a tour de force loaded with enraged fury with a level of enrage and no mercy sense fighting simply spelling.
Lo wei was the director ; and since the plot is extremely predictable ; the charismatic presence of Lee and some kung fu fights are of first rate.
Obviously ; this work remains under Enter the dragon level . This last one is hold by a finest script and a a punch cast, but the violence is not free ; it comes from the inside to the outside and that's a good point .
I watched this film when I was a teenager and also it became the first time I saw Lee on the screen. But the last sequence fight still floats in my memories.
When you leave the exhibition hall you feel the catharsis in its major expression and besides such a kind of cosmical justice!
You'll find out in this film interesting clues about the meaning of the Kung Fu discipline , that had in the TV series an unvaluable shelter like David Carradine meant.

Summary: ONLY GET WIDESCREEN VERSION!!!!
Review:
Unless you get the widescreen version (It has the nice packaging with the picture of Lee on the front tinted red)
you are wasting your money because other versions are not formated for tv. Meaning you cant even see half of the cool fight scenes!!!
I would have given this a 5 star rating except for the stupid and unneccasary sexuality.

Summary: Intense action
Review: While this film doesn't have the noteriety of Lee's other films such as Enter the Dragon or Game of Death, it has some of the most violent and intense action of all of them. The English dubbing is immediately off-putting and most of the acting is just so-so, but never have I seen Bruce Lee act with such intensity in his fight scenes. His acting is the best by far, especially when he is on the run and acting in disguise, such as the goofy telephone repairman. As in most of Lee's films, there's also some female "skin" scenes thrown in, which is never a bad thing. But watch this movie and take note of the super-intensity Lee exhibits in the fight scenes, which may indeed have its roots in Chinese-Japanese racism (a reality, but fading with new generations.)

Summary: So, What Do You Think Of My Clever Little Plan?
Review: Goodness, what a terrible movie! I saw it first run when it was released and I was studying kendo and just starting to become involved in martial arts. Since then I've been bewildered by the adulation for this film.
The acting consists of expressions of incredulity, sneers, grimaces and befuddlement all delivered with intense ineptitude by all of the cast.
The plot only works if you ignore what you're seeing. Of course most people prefer to live this way so I suspect that's part of this movie's appeal.
Consider: Bruce Lee's character arrives at his master's funeral in such a crazed state he's only prevented from digging the man up by being whacked over the head with a shovel. Next he starts a fight with a rival school which has the political clout needed to close his master's school down. Later, when he discovers the people who killed his master he murders them, thus eliminating any chance of getting his school out of trouble. Lee's association with his master's school is so disasterous that by the end of the film the school is wrecked and many of his classmates are dead.
There's also a nasty taint of racism that can't be ignored. The villians are Japanese and they're brutal, lavicious and criminal. To help us determine which orientals are the bad ones most of the Japanese sport bad Elvis haircuts and sideburns. One even wears thick, round spectacles once the trademark of every Japanese villian. The chief Japanese villian has a mustashe of such preposterous dimensions it almost begs to be twirled.
The fight scenes are fun, though utterly unbelievable. After many years of martial arts training and sparring I cringe at the idea of Lee's carefully choregraphic dances being considered "fights." Bruce Lee spends far too much time holding poses so we can see his muscles while his opponents politely wait for someone to step forward to be the next one to get kicked in the face.
Watching this movie once is fine but to spend money to buy it is a waste.

Summary: Bruce Lee at his finest!
Review: This is the best of Bruce Lee's work. The fight sequences are amazing! And director Lo Wei did a perfect job as well - camera angles, zooms, script, everything! The Chinese Connection is a must have for any martial arts fan. Even if you've never seen a Bruce Lee film, YOU MUST SEE THIS ONE! The only complaint I have is that it is dubbed in English. I wish there was a DVD in the States that had the original audio with English subtitles, but I think the only way to get it is to special order an import. Still, it's a great movie well worth owning.

Summary: a true classic for all time
Review: i remember the first time i viewed this film and how it blew me away.still does.while many may consider "enter the dragon" bruce lee's best film,i have to put my money on "chinese connection",or
"fists of fury" as it was known in hong kong.the story is loosely
based on a factual incident in the death of ho yuen chiou,a famous and outstanding martial artist who did in fact die under rather mysterious circumstances.there are other historical footnotes in the film,such as the ching wu school, signs saying,"sick man of asia"and "no dogs or chinese allowed" at the gate to the park on the Bund in Shanghai.it is easy to understand the chinese viewers reaction to this picture when bruce lee stands up for the honor of china against the foreign(japanese,french,american,etc.)imperialists.this is a movie for the people.the oppressed and downtrodden...."now you listen to me, and i'll only say it once.We are not sick men". and to this day there exists a ching wu school of martial arts in china.right on brothers!
