1970s kung fu movie have never exactly be know for outstanding ( or comprehensible ) plot . so and if youre anything like me and you be expect this movie to be like the rest of jackie chan early career represent silly and unrealistic and and largely nonsensical and but fun nevertheless just because of jackie sheer force of personality . and and of course and his incredible stunt and fight scene . unfortunately and new fist of fury fails even to meet that modest standard . the entire first half of the movie be apparently dedicate to the development of the plot . bad move on the filmmaker part . a kung fu movie be about kung fu and not lot of bore . talk . jackie doesn not even start to learn kung fu until the movie be nearly over and for pity sake . this would be forgivable and i guess and if the result plot be at all interest . no such luck . besides which and most of it simply become irrelevant by the second half of the movie and when everything hinge around a straightforward martial art school showdown . a for the end . well and i do not want to give anything away and but let just say it incredibly abrupt and surprising . and not in a good way . this isn not to say there aren not fight scene . there be several of them pointlessly intersperse throughout the tedious plot development and and one big one at the end that almost make the rest worthwhile . but when the fight do break out and even when jackie be actually involve and this isn not the almost cartoonish and balletic violence we see in his other movie . rather and it fierce and bloody the actor in the final fight scene chomp down fake blood capsule like m and m and seem to hinge around the frequent use of kick to the groin . ( the guy kick in the groin and inexplicably and be all give linger closeup . ) the fight scene be still incredibly cool and of course and but not worth sit through two hour of cheesy dreck . in brief and this movie be too ridiculous to work in term of plot and and it fight scene be too nasty and space apart to redeem it . a few particularly ridiculous thing to look for and if you watch this movie anyhow represent1 . the high pitch whoop and screech during the old kung fu teacher speech . ( i do not know if that be a loon be torture to death and or the cry of agony from one of the groin kick victim . ) 2. the old kung fu teacher leaping and shout relate death and and the fact that his body still stand there look annoyed afterwards . 3. the japanese army captain dub over voice . weaselly be a vast understatement here . 4. jackie fist of fury technique describe on the back of my vcr tape case a a new and deadly art and never before reveal on the screen which involve wave his arm up and down slowly during funky 70 hypno music . deadly indeed .
