Fist of Fury III
Fist of Fury III () is a martial arts Bruceploitation sequel. It was originally released in Hong Kong as "Jie quan yingzhua gong" (literal: "Jeet Kune the Claws and the Supreme Kung Fu"), and has been informally called "Chinese Connection III." It continues the story of Chen Shen (Bruce Li) from "Fist of Fury II", the brother of the Bruce Lee character in "Fist of Fury". Plot. After avenging the death of his brother, Chen Shen (Bruce Li) returns home from Shanghai. He tells his mother (who went blind from crying over her son's death) that  he will no longer fight. Japanese occupiers who are aware of Chen's history terrorize his family by, among other things, vandalizing his mother's store and beating up his brother. Later, they frame Chen for a murder. After the Japanese boss arrives in town and causes a ruckus, Chen breaks out of jail for a final confrontation. Reception. Critical reception was mixed. Eric Reifschneider of Blood Brothers gave the film 2/5 and said: "I found this third entry worth a watch but overall it was just rather uninteresting. Perhaps with better filmmakers would this have been a rousing martial  arts movie but as is it just left me a little hallow inside. Like usual with these post-Bruce Lee Bruceploitation films we get graced with an ultra shitty DVD of it in America. This DVD makes my DVDS for "Chinese Connection 2" and "Exit the Dragon" look like Criterion releases! The film has horrible compression artifacts and the audio transfer that has high pitched cracking whenever a character talks. Perhaps with an actual good transfer of the film I would have enjoyed it more but for now I'm stuck with this shit DVD. Ironically the film is in  a double feature with "New Fist of Fury", that "other" sequel to "Fist of Fury" starring Jackie Chan."
