The
most interesting aspects of this movie for H.K fans is seeing
how Wo Ping has reworked the original's groundbreaking fight
sequences. He did a tremendous job, and many believe it to be
his best work, and is ultimately a huge factor in his
selection for both the 'Matrix' and 'Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon'.

My
favourite scene sees Chen take on the Japanese school
single-handed and although it is missing a nunchaku sequence,
it improves on the original in terms of choreography and pace,
but let's remember that 'Fist of Fury' came 22 years previous
and was only Bruce’s second film!
The
climax of the film is also excellent, as we see Chen accompany
Chin Siu Ho to a challenge match which becomes too much for
him, and ultimately sees Chen battle with Billy Chow as a
Japanese General, completely scrapping Bob Baker's original
Russian character. However, this scene is the most intense in
the film, showcasing different fighting styles including
swords and a belt as makeshift nunchaku!

In
my opinion, this is Jet Li's best work as he carries the film
well, performing brilliantly in the films numerous fight
sequences to provide a fitting tribute to a character made
famous by the late, great Bruce Lee.
Also,
without this film, the Matrix would not have been the same and
in turn would not have helped create the interest it has in
Hong Kong style action amongst a Western audience.
I
can't wait to see how Donnie Yen fares in the upcoming movie
release of his TV version!
