Famous film ---Fist of Fury

Fist of Fury (Simplified Chinese: 精武门, Traditional Chinese: 精武門; pinyin: Jīng wǔ mén; formerly known as The Chinese Connection in the United States, and not to be confused with Fists of Fury, which is the former US title of The Big Boss) was a Chinese film directed by Lo Wei in 1972. It starred the martial artist Bruce Lee in his second major film after The Big Boss. The film depicts a Chinese martial arts school in Shanghai which fought against a Japanese karate school.
The film is loosely based on Chin Woo Athletic Association, the actual school from which the film took its Chinese title. The plot featured the story of Chen Zhen (陳真, played by Bruce Lee), a fictional character created by director Lo Wei for the film.[1] Chen Zhen is shown as a student of the real-life martial artist Huo Yuanjia (霍元甲; Cantonese: Fok Yun Gap) who, after the mysterious death of Huo, fought the Hongkou Dojo of Suzuki Taro.
The film is set in 1908, during the occupation of Shanghai, China by several foreign countries, including Japan. The film is famous for the scene in which Chen Zhen is denied entry into a park bearing a sign stating "No Dogs and Chinese Allowed." After the guards at the park allowed a foreigner's dog to enter the park, a group of Japanese approached Chen, informing that he had to pretend to be a dog before being allowed inside the park. Chen became furious and proceeded to attack the Japanese with punches and kicks. After that, he kicked the offending sign in the air and broke it with a flying kick.The film also featured the nunchaku, two sticks connected by a chain and used as a weapon by Bruce Lee in the movie.
