New Fist of Fury - 新精武門



New Fist of Fury (新精武門) is a 1976 film out of Hong Kong. It stars a very young Jackie Chan and Nora Miao. This film was a sequel to Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury.

The movie is about Nora Miao escaping Shanghai and setting up shop in another town. However, I can't recall the town (silly me, it's been less than 24 hours since I watched it). Jackie is a local kid that makes a living as a thief. Jackie steals some nunchucks. Eventually, Jackie decides to learn kung fu and resist the Japanese that occupy the area.

The movie was super long and super "not good". Avoid it if you can. I had it on while washing dishes so it wasn't a serious watch. The fights were completely whacked. This is pre humor Jackie. I think the movie played off of Bruce Lee's movie. Including Nora Miao being in this movie.

With so many classic films from the 70s era, its a shame that this gets more attention just because it has Jackie Chan. Look at the DVD cover, Jackie has guns on. Makes him look like Rambo.
