Fists of Fury

Bruce Lee’s first real movie (not counting those made when he was a little kid). I wasn’t too impressed with it actually – there wasn’t a whole lot of action, and the action was the best part. Throughout the first half of the movie, Bruce won’t even fight! I guess that’s supposed to make his rage at the end all the more real. I think this would have been better if it started out “years earlier” with flashbacks of Bruce taking on multitudes of crazed kung-fu thugs. That way, we’d better understand why he wouldn’t fight now. (Plus it would satisfy my needs as a bloodthirsty moviegoer).
