"Fist of Fury" in Taiwanese Early 20th century. Colonial China. The Japanese feel themselves masters among slaves, and therefore the attitude towards the occupiers among the Chinese is sharply negative. But one innkeeper did let a group of judokas into his inn - and regretted it. One of the occupiers grabbed the waitress. The scoundrel believed that he would get away with this inexcusable behavior, but it wasn’t here – a cook nicknamed Tiger worked in that restaurant. He beat the Japanese, and since then his life has gone awry.
In 1973, the main popularizer of the fighting movie Bruce Lee died. Could the Asian star have gone to the other world without incidental consequences? Perhaps, but the great master was too good to find among the Chinese neither actors-doubles, nor dealers seeking to cash in on an expensive brand. There was a whole category of films - bruceploitation. What movies in the 70s were not made for five dollars? Bruce Lee's Clones, Bruce Lee v Superman, Black Dragon Avenges Bruce Lee's Death Against the backdrop of this operational dumpster, "Chinese Iron Man" looks like a masterpiece. Well, that is, not a masterpiece, but a copy of a masterpiece - the plot is copied from the cult action movie "Fist of Fury". But do not be disdainful, because the only aspect in which the remake is inferior to the Hong Kong original is the quality of the image. Fights in the “Chinese Iron Man” are not inferior to the battles of the above-mentioned action movie with Bruce Lee in the title role, the Taiwanese brothers did not scalt.
In short, since this fighting game compiles the doctrine of films with Bruce Lee, the dilemma is simple. Either you like the Bruce movies or you don't. In the first case, go see "Chinese Iron Man", in the second - you can not go.
- Is that a "fist of rage"?
- No, it's the "Chinese Iron Man."
- Is this Hong Kong?
- No, this is Taiwan.
- Is that Bruce Lee?
- No, this is Bruce Lai!
