New Fist of Fury is a martial arts film made in Hong Kong in 1976, directed by Lo Wei and starring Jackie Chan. It is the first of a series of films that Lo Wei directed Chan in, and the first using Chan's stage name Seng Long (Chinese: 成龍; pinyin: Chéng Lóng) - meaning "Already a Dragon" - by which he's still known today in Asia. The movie was a remake of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury, one of Lo Wei's biggest successes besides Jackie Chan's later Fearless Hyena. New Fist of Fury was part of Lo's attempt to market Jackie Chan as the new Bruce Lee and didn't contain any of the comic elements that were to be Chan's career trademark later on. However, the film was a financial failure rendering this attempt at Bruceploitation moot.
