Fists of Fury (1972) trivia
Tue, September 21, 2004 - 11:12 PM'Yuen Wah' doubled for 'Bruce Lee' in the fight scene between Chen and Yoshida where Chen does a somersault, while 'Jackie Chan' doubled for the villain Suzuki when he is kicked back through the large paper windows.
Bruce Lee choreographed his own fight scenes.
To make the point that crime and violence doesn't pay, Bruce Lee insisted that his character must die at the end, but die with honor.
Because of the movie's racial content and personal disagreements, Bruce Lee quit working with Lo Wei after this movie.
The international title of this film was "Fist of Fury". In the United States the English dubbed version was released under the title "The Chinese Connection" to avoid confusion with "Fists of Fury", the title for the U.S. release of Bruce Lee's previous film _Tang Shan da Xiong (1971)_ . The U.S. title was a play on the title of the highly popular film French Connection, The (1971).
According to certain historical sources in China, the real-life Chen escaped from Shanghai successfully.
