Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Leofwine_draca FIST OF FURY III is the third and final entry in the series of films that started with the Bruce Lee hit. This one features my favourite Bruce Lee impersonator, Bruce Li, in a storyline which basically copies that of the original with a few twists. Li is an upstanding young character who falls foul of some Japanese thugs when his family members and in particular his girlfriend are threatened by them.The makers of this one deserve kudos for bringing back the hateful Japanese translator from the original film as one of the top villains, as he's as slimy as ever. Otherwise, the film is a bit on the ordinary side. There are plenty of fight scenes here, which keep you watching but are far from memorable or even that exciting. Li has the moves but it seems the director is more interested in making his film on both the cheap and in a hurry, so there's little in the way of slickness or professionalism here.Things only pick up for the climax which makes great use of some 'dark and stormy night' atmosphere and made me realise how few martial arts films actually utilise rain and bad weather to their advantage. Li brings out the "fingers of death" method from THE BIG BOSS at one point, but otherwise the film is quite tame and predictable, the sort you'd watch once but never go back to.

CrashHolly8 Because its 1 hour 30 minutes movie and fighting is 20 minutes. Start was impressive, when Bruce Li fights 4 thugs in grass land and thugs runs away. After that its drama, when Chen Shen goes to visit his blind mom and during the movie, the blind mom, Shen's brother and Shen talk about each other. Shen's brother gets in fight with Japanese small guy, so small, that he cant take care of Shen's brother. So Japanese invade Shen's moms place and destroy the place. Then there's this scene, when Shen's brother is demonstrating his martial arts skills to couple of kids. Kids says his no match to Japanese and Shens brother disagrees and tries to fight Japanese, but gets beaten up. Japanese doesn't bother Shen's brother and they leave him. Then were in restaurant and that small Japanese guy has plan to get guy, who nearly matches Shen, to Japanese side. Small Japanese puts white powder to strong guys vine and I think with that powder, guy makes mistake and is kicked out of martial arts school. Guy becomes furious and kills his former teacher and police claims, it was Shen, because of evidence. Shen gets to jail and meanwhile Japanese kills Shen's brother and mother. There's this old guy and his daughter, who gets Shen out of jail and Shen notices his dead mother and brother. Shen gets furious and goes to Japanese place and in my opinion fighting starts then at 1 hour mark, before it, it was small fights and nothing impressive. Shen beats Japanese and asks them, where their leader is? They advice Shen to small restaurant and Shen notices small Japanese, but Japanese attack Shen, so small guy escapes. Boss kills small guy and Shen tries to leave, but boss attacks Shen and then other strong guy (Same guy, that was manipulated), attacks boss and boss kills other guy. Then Shen kills boss and movie ends. I must say, stay away of this movie. What I've just written, might sound cool movie, but its not. In this movie, its all about story.

Frank Markland Fist Of Fury III stars Bruce Li as the brother of Bruce Lee's character who after accomplishing revenge on the Japanese fighters that killed his brother, returns to take care of his mother and live in the country. Determined to live a peaceful life he finds himself forced into action as Japanese thugs follow him and make his life miserable. Fist Of Fury III is way better than Fist Of Fury II, but (of course) not up to the standard of Bruce Lee's original. This one is a standard kung fu cheapie in all arenas, except that the fights are better handled, the story develops the vengeance angle fairly well and in fact has a great climax involving a thunderstorm that basically adds to the action's overall mood. Once again it's no great masterpiece and Bruce Li, while charismatic, is not Bruce Lee but as far as kung fu movies go this is as good as these things get. Another nice touch is bringing back the English Intrepeter from Bruce Lee's Return Of The Dragon, as well as crisp directing during the action in the style of Bruce Lee's original. It's nothing worth going out of your way to locate, but if found in the bargain bin or in a Kung Fu movie collection, it's worth picking up.* * Out of 4-(Fair)

TheEnglish_Knight it can hold its own, the plot isn't water tight and the editing on the version i have leaves alot to be desired. Its got a bit of everything really, romance (although gone with the wind it ain't), its got family tragedies stemming from the previous 2 films and its got all the action you'd want. Obviously the man character isn't bruce lee so people judge the film on that, but to be honest he does just a good a job as bruce. The fight scenes are fluent and its an allround good film just don't expect any sort of amazing plot and it is a bit on the dark side at times just sit back and watch a good fight film.
