The Biggest thing about this movie for me , is one element , it seemed like when the character who was so grief stricken over his teacher's death , when he discovered the people who murdered his teacher , became almost completely insane ,and turned into almost a serial like killer , this movie almost could have been called The Japanese Serial Killer , now I am glad that it wasn't of course in this day and time that would not go over very well , with everyone so sensitive these days .
I agree, fella. He totally loses his s**t.
I prefer films from that era. They weren't tainted with woke nonsense.
Cheers 👍
He wasn't a serial killer. He got justice for his teacher.
No he became a Serial Killer if you have to bring it up , he took the law into his own hands , Bruce Lee in this movie proved that he was a murder by his actions charging at the gun men to have him self killed , but besides you missed read my comment I said a serial like Killer@@guitarttimman
@@kidhickey1659 lol no because the police turned a blind eye. Who was murdered before BL started killing? His teacher. Plus they kept coming there and harassing everyone at the school. Why weren't they arrested and charged with trespassing? Then, to top it off, they murdered right on his family's property. No way was Bruce Lee at fault. I'd been shredding them too only I'd be using guns and stuff. But, it's not real. It's a movie. lol
@@StripeyR Oh no you're using that term 🙈 so embarrassing. Especially on the subject of Bruce Lee of all people 😂
First time I've noticed that umbrella colour change AND young Jackie . Cheers for that
My pleasure, mate. Thanks for watching 👍
Despite watching this film many times (via Beta, VHS, DVD), most of the 10 things I did not know about. My favourite was your explanation for the American film title confusion. What a muck up! I always cringe a little when seeing Bruce lift the rickshaw and other superhuman strength scenes. His skill and speed were always going to be much more impressive.
Also, there was one thing I noticed: when Bruce fought with Bob Baker, you could see his back very clearly & there was nothing there except for muscles before Baker gave him an arm lock which Bruce had to bite him. When Bruce fought with Suzuki next, he pulled his nunchakus out suddenly where it wasn’t there for the last scene. Overall, I consider Bruce vs Baker as one of the best fight scenes ever choreographed in martial arts cinema, it was great & real.
Stripey ! Don't forget the programme on BBC2 on Thursday night (28/3/24) at 9pm - A Life In Pictures : Bruce Lee.
I've seen it, mate, but it'll be worth recording cheers fella 👍
It doesn't say "Repeat" in the tv quide magazine so I think it's a new programme
@@karatefella I watched on the BBC iPlayer fella 👍
Has anyone seen the Angela Mao bluray Lady Whirlwind and Hapkido... Absolutely brilliant,
I'll have to check them out. Cheers, pal 👍
@@StripeyR some of the best movies after bruce 💯👍
TRIVIA : In September 1973 just 11 months after Angela Mao's Hapkido was released (as Lady Kung Fu ) it went to Number 1 of the North American box Office Overtaking Enter the Dragon 🐲 for Several weeks !
Stripey great observations. Love the umbrella and dirt scenes never realized that. Great video!
Thank you 👍
More golden nuggets from the archives! Thanks for this Stripey, never noticed the umbrella changing colour, or the dry soil either. Interesting anecdotes, so please keep 'em coming. Cheers pal!
Thanks Pal. i'm glad you got something from watching this. 👍
Connecting to your ETD facts, Yuen Wah is also in FOF as Bruce's double doing the flips, and is the guy talking to Bruce before he gets punched at the "No Dogs" gate scene.
You can also spot actor, stuntman and action director Corey Yuen (Transporter) in the dojo scenes.
Bruce also reportedly folded a hair stylist with a sidekick during filming.
Looking forward to your next video keep it up my man.
I was going to mention Yuen Wah, but because I done a video on him recently, I left him out.
Interesting about Corey Yuen & the hair dresser.
Cheers bud 👍
Bruce Lee did a lot of isometrics as part of his training and the character Petrov is a tribute to the famous Russian strongmen that developed their strength through isometric training.
I have Steve’s book. Fantastic read
Indeed, mate. Cheers 👍
Hi stripey great video. The Chinese connection a.k.a. fist of fury is my favorite Bruce Lee movie , is my number one …my number two is return of the dragon a.k.a. Way of the dragon, and then enter the dragon. I learn so much today in this video thank you so much. Keep up the great job. 👍
Hi Tony. I'm pleased you got something from this video. Thanks Pal 👍
Great video again Stripey 😊
I didn't notice the umbrella colour change, the title name being mixed up, Jackie Chan or the handles being changed on the rickshaw and I can't tell how many times I've watched it. I agree that Bruce's hair was better left, it must have been so thick for it not to stay in place!
I did notice the way Bruce opened the doors, that always puzzled me (not hard 😂) and Petrovs voice dub was Bruce 😊. The rest I didn't notice!
I have Steve Kerridge Intercepting Fist but in the middle of Mathew Polly book at the moment 😊
Thank you Stripey, enjoyed this 😊
Thank you 😊
Researching these films is quite informative, I'm learning as I go.
I hope you're enjoying Matt Polly's book. Thanks again 👍
@@StripeyR I finished Matthew Polly's book this morning, now on to Wrath of the Dragon!
Nice one, Stripey! Another great video. I knew probably two of those Fist factoids. We always learn about Bruce. Thanks, mate. Much appreciated.
Cheers bud. I'm glad you got something from this video 👍
Hello Stripey
Thanks again for all those infos. Like you said, I watched all Bruce's movies numerous times and specially Fist of fury, but I think I have to keep watching them a whole lot more.
Take care
My favourite Bruce Lee movie, purely because of the absolute 'Fury' (pun intended😂) that he unleashes on those involved in killing his teacher. This could have easily been called Bruce Lee Unleashed. Great list, Stripey, thanks👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Pal 👍
I didn't know many of those facts. Very good!
Thank you 👍
Another nice video, Stripey! My favorite things I didn't know? Your bonus facts, the fact that the FOF set was also where Bruce posed for the period costume photo shoot & the interesting bit about FOF being the first movie dubbed into that Aboriginal language, it's amazing how many diverse peoples from cultures & countries all over the world have a love of Bruce Lee in common!
Thank you 👍
Wow. I am learning stuff from you and I really never knew some of these 😮👏👍✔️
Excellent stuff 👍
I never realized or paid attention to the umbrella actually. Also the alley for the Jade project, didn't realize it either, cool info, thanks again Stripey.
HEY STRIPEY HOPE YOU ARE WELL, did you notice the nunchucks bounce, off screen when he is fighting suki at the end, i knew about most of your top 10, due to the fist of fury aka Chinese connection been my late fathers favourite bruce lee movie, my God he always had it on, probably because my father was the image of bob Baker, same hair Ronnie 😂 great video mate keep well my friend ✌️🇮🇪✌️🐉🙏🐲🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥
Hi, mate. i have noticed the nunchaku bounce at the end 😉
I hope all is well with you. Cheers 👍
the umbrella,never noticed that,the rikshaw,always wondered how he could throw it with the bar being there,i always thought jackie used a trampoline but that wouldnt work,good video stripey.
Hi Stripey. Don’t know if anyone has mentioned or noticed this one but have you ever noticed how shallow the grave is. Top of the casket very close to ground level 👊🏻☯️🐉
The kick ass dojo scene when Bruce takes his shirt off he undoes his buttons but forgets one and has to go back to undo the last one 😂🙋♂️ Also the Jackie stunt at the end of the movie Jackie claims that they used no wire's and Matt's, Jackie n Bruce broke a record for that 🙋♂️👊💪
Bruce's brother Robert Lee sang the theme song in one version of the opening .
I read in a 70's poster mag that Bruce had a bit of a stammer when he was younger but later corrected it.
I have heard Bruce Lee made his own Nunchaku sticks ?
_Mr Vampire_ actor Lam Ching-Ying played one of the Japanese fighters. He’s the one Bruce decimates in the last mass fight, who uses the broom as a weapon (although he is visible in the earlier dojo fight at times).
Yuen Wah, who doubled Bruce for the gymnastic manoeuvres in this film, also plays a small role in it as the man who taunts Bruce at the park gate.
Lam Ching Ying also challenged Bruce on the set of Enter the Dragon.
I used to have the fist of fury flick by book back in the day around 1974 wish I still had it
I had them, too. I wish I'd kept them. They're worth a fortune now 👍
Still got mine. Several different sets. I wonder how much they are worth?@@StripeyR
@@topcats78 There are some on eBay & they range from £120 to £220. I paid a couple of quid for mine in the early 80s. Well done for hanging on to them, mate 👍
Brilliant as usual Stripey we are all humbled and grateful to you for your great video rambles. I watch alot of things on Bruce Lee and for me you are the best, thank you 😊
Thank you, mate. I truly appreciate it 👍
Love this movie! Only thing was they used a 1950's car 😳this take placed in the 1910, or so 😬
Superb Stripey. Bring on the next video. BRILLIANT
Love this! Keep it coming! 💯
Another great clip stripy classic once again AWSOME jpb
Great video stripey,,its great you keep the bruce lee name alive
I did not know all og this, so thank you very much. Keep em’ coming!
It's not that the umbrella changes color,. When the umbrella is not opened, its edge is Green. After it is opened, the original wax paper color umbrella is displayed under the light
Great work once again Stripey! Love d the episode and the boos by Kerridge is a must own! Amazing!
Thank you, Charles. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm looking forward to the Steve Kerridge on The Way of the Dragon. Cheers Mate 👍
@@StripeyR yes going to be incredible book!
Thank you my friend.
Thank you, too, bud 👍
Great video loving finding bits didnt know .my frav bruce lee film.even more than enter the dragon .dont hate me .look forward next video
As Chen Zhen goes to take his top off to fight the Japanese in the dojo, notice that Bruce Lee briefly forgets to undo one of the buttons just before he removes it.
Severin Films has the trailer for the boxed set now on youtube.
I've just seen it. The set looks fantastic 👍
@@StripeyR I bought the bundle because limited to 400 sets.
When Bruce’s character is disguised as the telephone-repairman the glasses he wears were Bruce’s actual glasses. Even though he had the money to replace them thanks to his prior success with _The Big Boss,_ he kept them as a reminder of how far he had come.
That's a nice story, fella 👍
I found that out from Bey Logan's audio commentary from the original Hong Kong Legends DVD release.
Corey yuen action director appears as one of Japanese fighters at the Dojo
do you think you can do 10 facts about Longstreet?? Love your vids!
Game of death 2 is a good all round king Fu film though
It is, mate 👍
Yea didn’t know that was Jackie in the training scene. And didn’t know about the hair or photoshoot locations but I always wondered about his hair in some of those photos
Watched Fists Of Fury Part 2 on VHS as a little kid .. that was part of Bruce exploitation movies.. however finally watched the real Fists Of Fury at a theatre in Kolkata,India I think it was 1998 !! Was blown away with the movie.
Never sussed that was Jackie .. you are very observant mate
Great bit of trivia hope there's more to come. By the way believe it. or not but did any of U die hard trivia fact buffs know it or nothing but Mickeal the one and only Jackson had made arrangements to meet Bruce when the news came through that bruce had sadly dyed.
Great content, as usual. I managed to track down the male nurse, who was at the hospital when Bruce Lee’s body arrived. That was no easy task! He told me, had Bruce been alive, he’d have gone out screaming…his brain was 3x the size.
Cheers fella.
That's wild about the brain 😳
Hopefully one day the promotional trailer and outtakes are found on fist of fury
Stripey will you be deep diving into the Bruce lee biopic movies? (Not sure if the tarantino movie falls into this?)
I may do at some point, mate. I'm backed up with ideas at the moment 👍
Hi Stripey, Love your videos me being true bruce lee fan. My favourite is the Enter the Dragon. Have seen the fight scenes zillions of times. As a true fan I had acquired the Bruce Lee watch 6139 6010 in blue dial though not the black dial which he wore. I would love to see that you too should acquire one and wear one in your videos.
I've always wondered...What was the final straw that dissolved Bruce's partnership with director Lo Wei after this film? I've heard they had many disagreements during the making of their two films together.
Thanks Stripey and agree to the dubbed versions of these movies and special mention to Jackie Chans - Snake in Eagles Shadow and Drunken Master, absolute classics in their own right, and must mention Hwang Jang Lee who was absolutely Legend and on top form in these movies, possibly a special on this guy is worth a 10 / 15 minute special?..Best Regards
At 4:45 In the dogo scene, You can see him rolling around In pain holding His eye by the bottom of the post. And He Is still there throughout the rest of the scene. Even at the end You can still see him, (Only his back to the camera now) still rubbing that eye. Ya missed that one. ua-cam.com/video/yzF13xO6klY/v-deo.html Keep 'Em Coming.
Well spotted, fella. There's probably loads to ad, but 10 things 😉
cheers bud. 👍
Thank you for your content. It's awesome!
Thank you 👍
woohoo fun facts!
Surprised me with some Stripey. Great video. May I ask, the photo behind you of John and Bruce, is it signed by John or Bruce? I have one signed by Brandon and it's my most prized possession of my collection.
Thanks pal. It's an autograph of John Saxon (I'd love a Bruce one) 👍
@StripeyR Yes myself as well would love a Bruce one too. I've seen them going for between $25,000 to $350,000USD recently. A pretty penny I bet in pounds in England as well.
Stripey great video pal can't wait for 10 things on way of the dragon
Take care
Good Morning Mr. Stripey,
I was wondering if you knew anything about the exotic Japanese dancer that was featured just before the rickshaw scene. I've done searches on Google and there's not much found or recorded about her. Are you able to elaborate on any knowledge of her?😎😎😎
Hi Stripey, Did you know Bruce Lee was going to name Way of the Dragon, to Enter The Dragon, Bruce mentioned this on his conversation on the phone when he's talking to Alex Block, check it out.
I did know this. An interesting fact. Cheers pal 👍
"Don't worry, now our Dragon has entered!"
hi stripey I live in san antonio texas and they filmed jacky chans the big brawl here in 1980 anyway I met a golden harvest actor at the time of filming his name is sham chin bo who in fist of fury was the guy who kicks bruce on the back in the dojo scene he also was in Bruce li man myth movie as they walk together in downtown san Francisco scene it was cool to meet someone who was in actual bruce Lee film anyway I said to him recognize you from across the street as they were filming and of course living in the usa I said Chinese connection he corrected me not Chinese connection its fist of fury man I felt like and idiot to say Chinese connection talked for about 30 min as I walked him to a downtown Walgreens store to buy himself cigarettes and shaked hands and said goodbye it was a pleasure to meet him.
That's an excellent story, thanks for sharing it with me 👍
I do sometimes call the movie the chinese connection, it's just so engrained in my brain. What makes it even more confusing/funny is the original north american cut has a song in the beginning credits with a main lyrical hook that says fists of fury (plural haha). I just imported the 4k discs and my kids were getting frustrated with me pausing and going back to the menus to figure out why the song didn't have vocals in the main English dub option. It was buried in the options for the original US cut that changed the entire intro credits section to be what I remember as a kid. Makes me wonder if there are any other small differences, cheers
Bruce's brother Robert Lee sang it.
@@marcellawong229 Wow I learned something new today. Thank you! That is really cool
@@Deadite8593 I think this version was released in Taiwan.
Fist of fury my favourite out of dubbed golden harvest films . Class movie never get bored of watching it. Bye the way stripes I hope you're doing well. Great work pal 👍
I liked the bit with the Jackie Chan clip during training, that was the keenest fact for me as I didn't know that.
Most of these are sort of nitpicks kinda, like length of chain or frame cuts missing a second, but still enjoyed satisfying my curiosity of the vid! Very entertaining Mr. Stripey.
As for superhuman feats like lifting the wheel barrow, that's who Bruce Lee is in real life. It's not an exaggeration imo.
The two dummies he was twirling in a circle was brilliant to me in the choreography but I don't know why they used dummies it looks horrible. I understand that MAYBE he just doesn't have the ability to do it but I wouldn't doubt that he could either. But let's say he could do it barely by the skin of his teeth but couldn't do it gracefully to be cinema worthy, why not just use teenage boys or even light girls for the stunt and have full padding on their bodies underneath their broad-easy-to-hide garments for protection? Dummies was really a bad choice there.
Just use real human MEN on wires or for real with two girls that are professionals or two teenage boys that are still light, Bruce could definitely do THOSE.
Bare in mind, Lee's shoulders (cuz that feat is a shoulder strength feat) is a power that matches METRIX worlds strongest Man competition for "Thors Hammer Hold".
Those Metrix Men weigh up to 300-350 lbs and when they do the "Thors Hammer Hold" the weight is literally a heavy ass 60 lbs., all PURE SHOULDER strength (deltoids to be exact).
Well according to Guru Inosanto (a Paratrooper 101st airborne division) Lee can hold out for the Hammer hold a whopping 120 lbs. And that's not some rumor or hearsay, that is directly Inosanto's testimony, who isn't some casual citizen off the street, his credibility is that of a soldier (as I mentioned) and was also a member of the Strategic Army Corps.
So the credibility of a member of the military's direct testimony of 120 lbs for the "hammer hold" is twice that of the World's Strongest Man competition, who are giants that weigh 350 lbs.
BUT, that Metric competition does that hammer hold for a good 45 seconds to 1:07 and we don't actually know what duration Lee held that 120 lbs.
What we do know in regards to time duration is that Lee could hold a 75 lbs hammer hold for 15-20 seconds. This is according to once again a Man of high credibility as a former Military soldier and world champion fighter, Joe Lewis (we all have mixed feelings on his foolishness here + there but he does speak truthfully now and then). Lewis's direct testimony of being a first hand eye witness is that Lee held the 75 lbs for 15-20 seconds.
Yes, the Metrix guys are doing 45sec-1:07 but to account for the lesser time on Lee's part you have to factor that he's doing 10 lbs heavier!
So those are the facts.
Conclusion, Lee's shoulder power matches if not exceeds the World Strongest Man and so he could easily do the "twirling dummies" with real people who were lighter, such as teenage boys or pro stunt girls yet they opted the poor choice of using mannequin dummies?? Welp, that's enough ranting from me!
That's what your videos do Stripey lol, thnx for the vid. Always look forward to them!
Where is the original!?!.. scene ( in fist of fury ) from the ice factory....in which Bruce Lee has a fight with a guy and the guy quotes by saying he studied Bruce Lee's book they ended up fighting in which the guy tries to drown Bruce Lee in muddy water well of course? With Bruce Lee's temper he jumps up and stumps the guy in the chest. I remember saying that scene in the original Fist of Fury it has been cut out do anyone remember or has anything about this?
That’s not Bruce.
Specifically it’s a scene in Dragon ( Jason Scott Lee ) the biopic.
Another great video sir , do you know the link where I could pre order enter the clones ?
Thank you. Enter the Clones will be released through Severin Films, mate 👍
I didn’t know any of those! Really interesting.
The Chinese police inspector who keeps asking that Chen Chen (Bruce's character) be handed over is played by none other than the director of _Fist of Fury_ - Lo Wei.
can u do a video about steven seagal about knowing bruce lying
I due course, mate. I'm backed up at the mo. Leave it with me 👍
I got the pre cert Fist of fury full carton passed uncut by mistake by the bbfc
Very nice, mate 👌
I rented it many times and eventually had a copy made around 87/88 when the cut version came out for sale.
I just want to know why Way of the Dragon was renamed Return of the Dragon? I assumed that it was the same reason that The first 2 movies were renamed.
In USA Way of the Dragon was released AFTER Enter The Dragon.
Hence, they called it Return Of The Dragon
I will be covering this in my next 10 Things, mate 👍
When the mob at the end points their guns towards Bruce and shoot, weren't they worried about hitting all the other people behind him?
Another cracking video Stripey. In fact Bruce used three pairs of nunchuks. One was a a poorly made stunt pair wrapped in black electrical tape used for making contact. Watch how they bounce off the last persons head in the first flurry of strikes. Charles posted a photo a couple of years ago. Also there is a continuity error eith them when he fights the sensei. They are at the edge of the mats at the start, but Bruce picks the up from the middle of the room after. the fight Lastly when he enters with the Sick Man of Asia sign, in the Cantonese dub he says he is the weakest student changing the meaning of the whole scene.👍
Interesting. In the Steve Kerridge book it say's Bruce used two sets of Chux.
You're correct he does drop them at the edge of the mat & then picks them up later from the center (well spotted)
The Chinese versions do sometimes have a completely different meaning.
Cheers Pal 👍
@@StripeyR The stunt pair was mentioned when both sets of surviving nunchuks were display ten years ago at Seni. They said they were poorly made and fell apart after filming. Sadly I didn't see them due to going to the wrong venue after working a 12 night shift😡. One extra fact for you. The "No dogs or Chinese" sign was real. It was there until 1947 according to Andre Morgan and a guy I did Tai Chi with confirmed he had seen it when he lived in Hong Kong.
I knew one or two things the rest was great to hear another cool Stripey video the book by Steve is epic I have hardback edition ps can't stand those Bruce ripoff movies mate lol .all the best looking forward to next to 10 things videos . cheers Pete
Excellent, mate. Thank you 👍
The Steve Kerridge book is amazing they always are.
I'm not a fan of the Brucesploitation films either, but I'm keeping my eye on this set, I really want to watch the documentary Enter the Clones of Bruce (looks fun)
Cheers bud 👍
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Does anyone know what the Japanese who were jumping behind the cops who shot chen were yelling at the very end?
I have no idea, fella 👍
I rewatched watched fist of fury on Amazon prime and the umbrella scene was cut out
The whole funeral scene actually
@lolarida8656 that's weird, fella. I have Prime. I'll check it out.
All the more reason for getting physical media 👍
Is that Bruce Lee really screaming
Just ordered the Kerridge book looks good (and heavy) . Currently half price for £24 on Amazon . Bargain
Awesome, fella. At that price it's a steal. It's a must own & packed with interesting info & some amazing photos. 👍
Hi. USA. Change a couple. Name s. Of Bruce Lee films. And I have them on dvd both versions but same movies. They shouldn't do that but thu did anyway.
Is br
Think Bob baker was a far superior martial artist than Bob wall
Agreed 👍
But Bob Baker doesn't have the champion status like Bob Wall.
Fist of fury got me started I first watched it at the age of 7 & it was the first Bruce item I bought from woollies at the age of 9 & I've never looked back .
@@stephenwicks6637 Fist of Fury was the very first Bruce Lee movie I saw too.
Another corker Stripey!
I've always hated the US titles to Bruce's movies!
Cheers, bud. I'm not keen on the American titles either. 👍
@@StripeyR Thanks Stripey! I used to think who the F were they to mess around with those titles!
All to do with money as usual!
The woman with the dog got 70s clothes on not 20s and the men are the same westerners 👍🥷
Indeed, and you can see two sixties era cars as Chen walks toward the gates. 👍
