With an intentional genuflection to Bruce Lee's FISTS OF FURY (aka CHINESE CONNECTION), Jet Li is Chen Zhen, a student studying abroad during WW2 who returns home to avenge his master's death at the hands of those sinister Japanese. After Chen discovers that his teacher was poisoned, all hell breaks loose. While kicking some ass, he even uncovers a secret Japanese plan to invade China. The cast is exceptional, but the real reason you're watching this film is to see Jet Li fight. And he fights like a son-of-a-bitch! The final sequence is nothing short of amazing, pitting Chen against the evil Japanese kickboxing general (Kurata). This is incredible "old-school" butt-stomping kung fu, with minimal wire effects and optimum fists of fury.
