In my usual tradition of catching up slowly on many of these amazing titles, I've just watched this movie and then go to youtube to explore your great analysis and comments. I thoroughly enjoyed this being a complete newbie when it comes to Bruce Lee. I found it a step up over Big Boss, and in this movie, it stroke me what a charisma and presence that Bruce Lee has. He is simply mesmerizing to look at in this movie. And the story was interesting as well. Again based on the first two discs only the absolute wealth of supplemental material here is almost overwhelming. Once again Criterion simply delivers..
Fist of Fury is the best all-around Bruce Lee film that represents the pure skill, acting and star power that he showed to the world. I always found this to be Bruce's most serious film which is not to say there aren't serious moments in his other films (The Big Boss comes awfully close to matching the level of how grave the situation is in that picture). I say it mainly based on the themes that get covered in regards to Japanese colonialism and imperialism. This film becomes more than just a simple martial arts film but a picture with heavy handed underlyin political context (interestingly enough this along with personal conflicts would have Bruce Lee never want to work with director Lo Wei again). When I saw this film years ago I liked it but I didn't quite latch on to it like I did The Big Boss, The Way of the Dragon and Enter the Dragon. I believe it had to do with the ending which I will not spoil here. But I will say that it was actually Bruce's idea to have that ending put in to prove a point regarding the theme of revenge which is what drives the film from its outset. And that to me is the best way to really understand the price of revenge which has its repercussions as well as consequences. And with that I grew to like the film a lot more and it became one of Bruce's finest, and arguably, his best along with some of the best fight choreography that Bruce did himself. The special features in the package are quite remarkable as well. I only got to look at some of them but they give so much context about the production of the film and the necessary background of how the picture came to be. The interviews from actors who worked on the film are a nice touch so we can connect more to the film from their experiences. I also find it interesting that they mention the U.S. name of the film 'The Chinese Connection' in one of the special features. Some films did that to sound more appealing I guess but I've always appreciated the original title wherever possible. (I may be imagining things but in the trailers for Fist of Fury some of the music sounds like Also Sprach Zarathustra, or Thus Spoke Zarathustra which was an 1896 composition from Richard Strauss which is more associated with 2001: A Space Odyssey. If so, interesting...). Overall I recommend this film for Bruce Lee and martial arts fans!
Thank you so much my dear friend!!!!! So much detail and enthusiasm as always!! This is great. Yes, there is so much more to this film, and it portrays a lot of complex themes, as well as being a brilliant film itself. Thank you so much. And yes, I agree with you about your assessment of the supplements that are found on this second disc of the Criterion set.
I am glad I held on to those Hong Kong Legends set with the Bey Logan commentaries. Again, great breakdown and analysis of the film! It is so evident Bruce was given more freedom with the fight scenes! I love all his films but I may lean more to Fist of fury aka Chinese Connection. As you mentioned this film cemented Bruce as a national hero and his fight against injustice in Shanghai left a mark not only amongst the Chinese but the minorities here in the USA! There have been documentaries or stories that mentioned how the African American community in particular gravitated towards Bruce Lee and his persona. They felt a deep connection to his plight especially in this film.
Hello and thank you so much for this excellent point. You are so right about this. Thank you so much for this great comment. I hope you are well and cheers. Have a great rest of your week my friend.
Every single video you upload daisuke is so amazing, you present it in a calm style that puts me and hopefully many others in a cal state of mind. Thank you very much!
You are very kind, Ali Aldulaimi. I really want to thank you so much for your comments during these recent days. They really make me very happy. I hope you are well my friend.
To me, this is Bruce’s finest performance from both his acting and the fight scenes. I get that there are more iconic fights in later films( Way of the Dragon in particular), but Lee brings so much emotion and intensity to this film because of the turning points in the story. It still sends chills down my spine every time I watch it.
U got that right Daisuke about the different skills in his acting when he be omes the telephone man its a complete different man his mannerisms he bends over a bit wears glasses makes himself look like a harmless geek barely talking an great scene people kind of gloss over it the way he gets in there to sneakily look around to see probably what and who he has to deal with great scene and when he plays the old man selling the newspapers and when he gives that takes the man the wrong way on purpose to take are of him to make a point to the others who they are going to be dealing with and when he stands straight up and the guy sees who he really is it reminds of the scene in Superman the movie when Clark was going to tell Lois who he really was and he takes his glasses of he stands up tall and his voice changes it takes great acting to do that and to fool people and make it believable when u think u should know who the person is and to make them believe it nah it cant be, its just great acting.i just always think of Superman when i watc h thoae scenes just the he embodies a completely differe t person and makes u believe its great
Thank you so much my friend as always. Yes, there is a sense of Bruce Lee as the performer and his acting skills are also on display in this film so well. It shows precisely how talented he was, and his greatness as an artist.
Hi Daisuke - This was the first Bruce Lee film I saw in the theater. It remains my favorite to this day. Thank you for your thoroughness regarding the set. What a joy it is to listen to you. Will you discuss your favorite film in the set at some point? I hope so. Be well and safe my friend.
Thank you so much my dear friend. I think I may talk about my favorites, when I talk about the films themselves. In fact, I think if I had to choose, I think I would likely go with the films that I saw first when I was a little boy: Way of the Dragon (the version I saw was called "Return of the Dragon"), and Enter the Dragon. But Fist of Fury and the Big Boss are really close behind.
Hello Daisuke. I’m really enjoying your video series on Criterion’s Bruce Lee box set. I purchased the set during the sale and am excited to dive in and study these films in detail. Thanks for your very informative overview and discussion. Hope all is well my good friend.
Ha this was my very first Bruce Lee film. Enjoyed the film pretty much all the way through! Thought the picture quality was amazing and absolutely loved all the fighting scenes. I totally understand why Bruce Lee is so loved all over the world. He was pretty fantastic both in his acting and fighting skill. I must admit I was very confused why Japanese and Chinese people were living in the same place. I’m sure one of you guys can explain this to me. The characterization of Japanese people seemed kind of unfair/strange to me but I understand there was quite a bitter rivalry between these cultures for historical reasons.
Thank you so much for the comment, Chris D! Yes, this is such a brilliant film and so this is a great one to watch as one's very first Bruce Lee film!!
Like how this one goes a little into Lee's teaching. Fist has a lot in it, action, love story, comedy, and some drama.So far am enjoying the features almost as much as the films.
Thank you so much! And yes, it has such a great blend of many facets of Bruce Lee's talents, and yes, it shows the philosophy of Bruce Lee in a brilliant and glorious way. You are so right my friend.
This is easily my favorite Bruce Lee film and I was overly-happily to see it get the Criterion treatment. This film just brings me in more than any other Bruce Lee film. I am glad that the Criterion version has the same things from the Shout Factory release and more. I need to track down this other commentary track you keep mentioning. Daisuke, I was also curious of how you felt as a Japanese person when you watched this film for the first time? I know of the fact that this film was very popular in Japan when it was released and that it takes place when Japan and the West where colonizing large swaths of China.
Great assessment of this incredible Bruce Lee film and the Criterion release. A firm favourite of mine. As a projectionist in the 70's I got to run the Lee films countless times. They were immensely popular in the UK. I always thought Fist Of Fury was something of a quantum leap over Big Boss ( which I also like a lot)...in terms of actual film making style and the thrilling excitement of the fight sequences. They are a marvel to behold. Still waiting for my Criterion to arrive but the anticipation is palpable! Looking forward to your thoughts on the rest of the set. Thank you!
Hello Garry, and thank you so much for your lovely comment. Amazing! You were a projectionist in the 70s! That is so splendid. and this is such a great way of describing how the cinema of Bruce Lee seems to be growing and evolving over this period. And yes, as you say, they are truly a marvel to behold. Thank you so much for this wonderful insight you provide, in sharing a bit of this wonderful and important history. I really appreciate it my friend. And when the set arrives, please let me know what you think about it my friend. Cheers and please continue to be well.
@@MrDravenLee From 1974 onwards...but saw Big Boss, Fist Of Fury etc a year or so before that. Not sure which version of Big Boss I saw back then...I'm guessing the same version that is on the Criterion set. Such a long time ago!
I've always wondered what you do for a living considering the rate of your uploads. I guess you could be spending most of your free time creating content but even then I'm still astonished. Thank you for sharing your passion though; I'm trying to get inspired. There is not much suspension of disbelief for me anymore, not because of the script but more "is this reasonable in this universe" or because of acting. Anyway, I have added many movies to my to watch list thanks to you. Sorry for the long comment. Have a nice day and stay safe!
Thank you so much! So, I am very flattered by your comment. Just to let you know, the actual making of these videos is a very simple process for me (I use my iPhone for video and for all editing). The only thing for me is that I usually need to make them late at night or early in the morning.
Worth mentioning that this film inspired Jet Li's The Legend (which is regarded by many as, including me, Jet Li's best film). This just highlights Bruce Lee's impact in HK and worldwide, in just 5 films.
Wow! Thank you so much for this really kind words! I really appreciate this. I hope you are well my friend, and cheers. Talk to you very soon and have a nice rest of your week.
I was very disappointed in the picture quality of some of the films like game of death and enter the dragon they look very dark and fuzzy and Grady at times did I just get a bad copy or is this the way they all look
Hi Daisuke I contacted severa l B&K and bruce lee is sold out everywhere but I was able to order it online at 50% off. I am curious to compare the blue rays to a set of chinese blueays i bought several years ago.
Hello! So, I have seen my share of Korean dramas and Japanese dramas, but I admit that I am not at all an expert. And I have not seen any recent TV dramas (from the past couple years).
I posted a comparison of releases when they were announced on Twitter if that is useful. There seems to be some French 4K releases, but don’t know if they’re the highest quality and they don’t have English support
Thank you so much for your great efforts my friend. I really appreciate your kindness and support and enthusiasm! The release comparisons I think will be a very healthy debate/discussion in the months and years to come, at least until an even higher upgraded release happens in the future. I hope you are well as always.
This is off topic, but just wanted to point out how your top notch channel also doubles for an ASMR channel :D. Your videos are so relaxing. In any case, Fists of Fury aka The Chinese Connection is a good one. My personal favorite would be Way of the Dragon :D. I know this might be blasphemous to say, but I even prefer it over Enter the Dragon.
Great comment and really the ultimate complement to Daisuke. I wish I had the peace in my heart that he clearly seems to have. Such a genuine soul that in-turn allows him to throw himself into cinema and create this amazing content because he's not at war with himself. I can only dream.
@@AmtrakJack42 Oh wow, thank you so much for that. I'd also like to give you props for your great replay in turn, just amazing. What you just said really embodies the essence of Daisuke to a T. We, as a people, must learn from him.
Thank you so much for your very kind words, Klaxx. You are very kind. And yes, Way of the Dragon is so awesome. I will try to upload a video about that very soon.
Deaer RTL-LTR, thank you so much for your kind compliment towards me! I really appreciate that! And my dear friend, you are always, ALWAYS welcome here. If ever you want to share with me or with anyone else here your favorite films or your recommendations or your thoughts about cinema, I will be very honored indeed. Cheers my dear friend, and please continue to be well and stay safe.
@@DaisukeBeppu thank you both as well. It's wonderful to see a channel with such a positive vibes happening and Daisuke you are a magnet that draws great subscribers like Klaxx and just happy to be a part. I'm a beginner but I did watch Chunking Express over the weekend based on your discussion of hoping for a forthcoming boxset by the director and thoroughly enjoyed it. I expected the ending to provide a wrap-up of the first storyline but maybe I missed something and need to watch again. Loved the music though.
So, "Remembering Fist of Fury" as it appears on the Shout release (blu ray) that I have is essentially two interviews edited into one supplement (one interview with actor Jason Tobin, and another with Isaac Florentine). They talk about their memories of watching Bruce Lee films, etc. I think that is is not necessarily "essential" but certainly interesting for anyone who is a fan of the film and Bruce Lee.
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen this film, but it sounds like the features are fantastic as well as the presentation of the film is very good. Thank you for the video Daisuke, I hope you’re having a great day!
