As a witness to Ching's strength, Smart convinces him to enroll enter a MMA tournament with $10 million cash prize. Together, they fail to make a living through various odd jobs. With nowhere left to go, he forcibly moves into Smart's apartment as his roommate. However, Ching loses his hometown friend Ah Keung's address in the ensuing kerfuffle.
Upon reaching the city, he finds his luggage stolen by Smart, a low level thug whom Ching easily takes down with his inhuman right arm. Lau Ching (Chow) is a mainland country boy hoping to earn a living in Hong Kong. The film calls attention to this fact by referring to his character Lau Ching as the "Saint of Gamblers" and having Chow cameo as his other character. The opening scene parodies the opening scene in All for the Winner, with the main character (played by Chow in both films) having recently arrived in Hong Kong, encountering the same policeman, and using his special power on a vending machine.
A sequel, Fist of Fury 1991 II, directed by Cho Chung-sing and Corey Yuen, was released the following year. Aside from a few parodied scenes, including the dojo fight in which a Japanese man is forced to eat the sign, the film bears no other similarities to the Bruce Lee film Fist of Fury apart from its title.
snobs” setup of Caddyshack, except with a lot less gopher dancing and a lot more deep ethnic animosity.Fist of Fury 1991 (新精武門1991) is a 1991 Hong Kong comedy film directed by Cho Chung-sing and starring Stephen Chow in the lead role. Bruce’s martial arts teacher is killed by members of a rival martial arts school (spoiler: Bruce roars “TEACHERRRR!” at the thundering heavens quite a bit when he hears about this) and, wouldn’t you know it, decides to undertake a one-man mission of vengeance, pitting his Chinese school against their Japanese enemies. It’s a good old-fashioned Hong Kong revenge story. Oh and also, Fist of Fury is known by a couple other names, The Chinese Connection and The Iron Hand, don’t let that confuse you either! Here’s a good way to keep all these movies straight: this is the one where a guy named Bruce takes on a bunch of corrupt bad guys and kicks everyone’s butt real good. Fist of Fury! The 1972 Bruce Lee classic! Not to be confused with Fists of Fury, or Jackie Chan’s New Fists of Fury, or Fist of Fury II starring Bruce Li (who himself is not to be confused with Bruce Lee).
