By the time The Blg Boss and Fist of Fury made it to America, someone wanted to make a box-office connection to The French Connection and have The Big Boss changed to The Chinese Connection because of the heroin smuggling taking place in the movie. But like everywhere you go, we find idiots in this world, one of those idiots found there way into the place where name tags were assigned and placed the wrong title on these two movies. He put the Fist of Fury tag on The Big Boss film can and then he put The Chinese Connection tag on the Fist of Fury film can. This is not a proven fact, but after a little investigation of my own, I believe it to be the truth. A simple accident by someone with there mind on something else at the time of doing their job let to these two movies being know as something other than what was intended. Instead of fixing the issue, a lot of promotional money must have been spent of the big photos for the movie houses and they didn't want to spend more money on some Chinese low rate movie...just another reason to be angry at the movie industry!

Huo Yuanjia, the teacher that had just died at the beginning of this film, is shown in a picture on the back wall of the school. This is not just a picture of someone from that time, it is an authentic picture of the real teacher they call Huo Yuanjia! He really looked like that!!! if you google "Chin Woo Athletic Association" you will see the same exact picture shown for the founder of the school, Huo Yuanjia!Now what is cool is this: Huo Yuanjia was the teacher of one student named Yip Kai-Man, also known as Yip Man or Ip Man. Ip Man and Ip Man2 are two movies starring Donnie Yen as Ip Man. At the end of Ip Man 2, we see a very young kid asking Ip Man to teach him Gung Fu and he introduces himself as Bruce Lee. So, here in this movie, we have a true student, of one of the real students of the dead teacher, portraying one of the students of the dead teacher. For all we know, Ip Man is one of the other students being portrayed in this movie.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. The TV cameras weren't fast enough to capture his movements and the audience would've been lost. The first time he showed up on set and did a routine, the US crew just looked at each other in disbelief: "what just happened?!" So they made him slow down (at least on TV - I don't know about his movies). Another actor with a reputation for not faking fights 'enough' to the stuntmen's taste was Bronson. As you say, all this wouldn't fly in our liability-conscious times. We just turn to CGI to give the illusion' of contact or speed. Most action appears cartoonish and blurry that way. I just love it when the camera takes a step back and just records the whole action without tricks, but it takes real fighters like Bruce to pull that off and look interesting.

Well they did ask him to slow down, one of the directors mentioned asking him in an interview to slow it down because it made the fights seem poorly choreographed and memorized. I also remember Bruce Lee broke one of a stuntman's ribs during filming. I doubt Hollywood could pull that off at any stage.

This one needs no introduction or review. It would be a standard old Chinese martial arts flick if it weren't for Bruce, who made it so special. The man was riveting, even in stillness.
