Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Nice effects though.

Masterful Movie

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

FIST OF FURY III is the third and final entry in the series of films that started with the Bruce Lee hit. This one features my favourite Bruce Lee impersonator, Bruce Li, in a storyline which basically copies that of the original with a few twists. Li is an upstanding young character who falls foul of some Japanese thugs when his family members and in particular his girlfriend are threatened by them.The makers of this one deserve kudos for bringing back the hateful Japanese translator from the original film as one of the top villains, as he's as slimy as ever. Otherwise, the film is a bit on the ordinary side. There are plenty of fight scenes here, which keep you watching but are far from memorable or even that exciting. Li has the moves but it seems the director is more interested in making his film on both the cheap and in a hurry, so there's little in the way of slickness or professionalism here.Things only pick up for the climax which makes great use of some 'dark and stormy night' atmosphere and made me realise how few martial arts films actually utilise rain and bad weather to their advantage. Li brings out the "fingers of death" method from THE BIG BOSS at one point, but otherwise the film is quite tame and predictable, the sort you'd watch once but never go back to.

Because its 1 hour 30 minutes movie and fighting is 20 minutes. Start was impressive, when Bruce Li fights 4 thugs in grass land and thugs runs away. After that its drama, when Chen Shen goes to visit his blind mom and during the movie, the blind mom, Shen's brother and Shen talk about each other. Shen's brother gets in fight with Japanese small guy, so small, that he cant take care of Shen's brother. So Japanese invade Shen's moms place and destroy the place. Then there's this scene, when Shen's brother is demonstrating his martial arts skills to couple of kids. Kids says his no match to Japanese and Shens brother disagrees and tries to fight Japanese, but gets beaten up. Japanese doesn't bother Shen's brother and they leave him. Then were in restaurant and that small Japanese guy has plan to get guy, who nearly matches Shen, to Japanese side. Small Japanese puts white powder to strong guys vine and I think with that powder, guy makes mistake and is kicked out of martial arts school. Guy becomes furious and kills his former teacher and police claims, it was Shen, because of evidence. Shen gets to jail and meanwhile Japanese kills Shen's brother and mother. There's this old guy and his daughter, who gets Shen out of jail and Shen notices his dead mother and brother. Shen gets furious and goes to Japanese place and in my opinion fighting starts then at 1 hour mark, before it, it was small fights and nothing impressive. Shen beats Japanese and asks them, where their leader is? They advice Shen to small restaurant and Shen notices small Japanese, but Japanese attack Shen, so small guy escapes. Boss kills small guy and Shen tries to leave, but boss attacks Shen and then other strong guy (Same guy, that was manipulated), attacks boss and boss kills other guy. Then Shen kills boss and movie ends. I must say, stay away of this movie. What I've just written, might sound cool movie, but its not. In this movie, its all about story.

If you are tired of Hollywoods sub-standard claptrap remakes, even more tired of the TV-teen movie of the weak, and even tireder yet of the pg rated watered down remakes of r rated classics.. then this is the movie for you.. skulls are crushed, heads split open, and blood sprays like geysers.. much more killing and maiming.. enough to make you misty eyed for Hollywoods golden years.. when they weren't to PC to make Deathwish, Vigilante, and Exterminator movies... Ahh the good old days.. enjoy the mayhem!! Ah the love story... he loves Killing CHIN-LEE... the main bad guys are gutted and hung on pikes, the flunkies are devoured by lions and hungry bears.. the extreme content of the uncensored version makes it definitely worth the trouble to seek it out..

it can hold its own, the plot isn't water tight and the editing on the version i have leaves alot to be desired. Its got a bit of everything really, romance (although gone with the wind it ain't), its got family tragedies stemming from the previous 2 films and its got all the action you'd want. Obviously the man character isn't bruce lee so people judge the film on that, but to be honest he does just a good a job as bruce. The fight scenes are fluent and its an allround good film just don't expect any sort of amazing plot and it is a bit on the dark side at times just sit back and watch a good fight film.
