Fist of Fury III is a martial arts Bruceploitation sequel. It was originally released in Hong Kong as Jie quan yingzhua gong (literal: Jeet Kune the Claws and the Supreme Kung Fu), and has been informally called The Chinese Connection III. It continues the story of Chen Shen (Bruce Li) from Fist of Fury II, the brother of the Bruce Lee character in Fist of Fury.
[edit] Synopsis
After avenging the death of his brother, Chen Shen (Bruce Li) returns home from Shanghai. He tells his mother (who went blind from crying over her son's death) that he will no longer fight. However, being a movie with the words "fist" and "fury" in the title, Chen doesn't keep his promise for very long.
Japanese occupiers who are aware of Chen's history terrorize his family by, among other things, vandalizing his mother's store and beating up his brother. Later, they frame Chen for a murder. After the Japanese boss arrives in town and causes a ruckus, Chen breaks out of jail for a final confrontation.
[edit] Trivia
- The on-screen title of the English-dubbed version released in North America is simply The Fist of Fury.
- IMDB credits Lee Tso Nam as the director, while the Hong Kong Movie Database credits Do Liu-Boh
