Short description
Chen Chen returns to his former school in Shanghai when he learns that his beloved instructor has been murdered. While investigating the man's death, Chen discovers that a rival Japanese school is operating a drug smuggling ring. To avenge his master’s death, Chen takes on both Chinese and Japanese assassins… and even a towering Russian.
What's left behind the scenes
- Jackie Chan appeared in an uncredited cameo role in this film. He played one of the kung fu school students in the crowd scene during the unexpected Japanese attack. He also served as a stunt double for the actor playing the Japanese villain, Mr. Suzuki, in the film's final scene. It was he who receives the iconic flying kick from Bruce Lee's character. In this scene, Jackie flew much further than planned and fell from a great height. Bruce Lee was the first to rush to check on the stuntman's condition.
- The confusion with titles continued with this Bruce Lee film. American distributors once again decided to change the original title and revisited their idea of "The Chinese Connection," hoping to capitalize on the success of "The French Connection" (1971).
- According to some sources, the real-life prototype of Chen Zhen did not engage in a final showdown with the Japanese occupying forces but successfully fled Shanghai.
- The film features a character named Petrov – a Russian karate master played by an American actor. Petrov demonstrates 'Russian strength' in the film by bending thick metal bars and hammering nails into a wooden board.
- The full version of the film has a runtime of 110 minutes.
- The somersault in the duel scene between Chen Zhen and his teacher in the dojo was not performed by Bruce Lee, but by his stunt double.
- The original title translates to "School of Knighthood," while "Fist of Fury" is the title given to the film by American distributors, after Bruce Lee's previous film "Fists of Fury of Chen Zhen" was renamed "The Big Boss."
- The film is set in 1908, although Huo Yuanjia died in 1910.
- Yoshida's hakama is worn backwards.
- In the scene where Chen throws around the Japanese, it's visible that they are dolls.
- Filming of the movie began on October 17, 1971.
- The original title translates to “Schools of Chivalry,” while “Fist of Fury” is the title given to the film by American distributors after Bruce Lee’s previous film, “Fists of Fury Cheng Chen,” was renamed “The Big Boss”.
