New Fist of Fury
New Fist of Fury is a 1976 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by Lo Wei and starring Jackie Chan.
It is the first of several films that Lo directed Chan in, and the first using Chan's stage name Sing Lung( literally meaning" becoming a dragon", by which Chan is still known today in Asia).
The film gave Chan his first starring role in a widely released film( his first starring role was in the" Little Tiger of Canton" which only had a limited release in 1973).
The film was a sequel to Bruce Lee's" Fist of Fury", one of Lo Wei's biggest successes.
Chan had previously appeared in the original" Fist of Fury" as a stuntman.
" New Fist of Fury" was part of Lo's attempt to market Jackie Chan as the new Bruce Lee, and did not contain any of the comedy elements that were to be Chan's career trademark later on.

Fist of Fury 1991
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.
Aside from a few parodied scenes, including the dojo fight where the Japanese man is forced to eat the sign, the film bears no other similarities to the Bruce Lee film," Fist of Fury", except in title only.
A sequel," Fist of Fury 1991 II", was released the following year.
The opening scene parodies the opening scene in God of Gamblers, with our main character( played by Chow in both films) recently arriving in Hong Kong, encountering the same policeman, and using their special power to overcome a vending machine.
The film calls attention to this fact by having referencing Lau Ching as the" Saint of Gamblers" and have Chow cameo as his other character.
