Bruce Lee 4K: Fist of Fury
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Enter the Dragon (1973), Queen's Film Theatre presents the Bruce Lee starring classic Fist of Fury (1972)
Bruce Lee is at his most awe-inspiringly ferocious in this blistering follow-up to his star-making performance in The Big Boss. Packs a restored punch in 4K.
Set in 1910s Shanghai, Fist of Fury casts Lee as a martial-arts student who, after his revered master is murdered by a rival dojo of Japanese imperialists, sets out to defend the honour of both his school and the Chinese people, with his fatal fists as his weapon of choice.
Elevating Lee to a hero of near folkloric proportions, this historical revenge fantasy blends its stunning action set pieces with a strong anticolonialist statement and a potent dose of the fierce cultural pride that the actor embodied.
Screening as part of Bruce Lee 4K, a mini season celebrating the martial arts maestro, featuring four of his best films this June, in anticipation of the 50th anniversary 4K re-release of Enter the Dragon this August.
