Chen’s reaction is to overcome this oppression after a Japanese man suggests he acts like a dog in order to be let in.
He is shown another sign that states ‘Dogs and Chinese not allowed’, then watches as a Japanese man walks a dog into the park. Interestingly, Bruce also included a scene where Chen goes to enter a park, only to be denied access. Much to Chen’s aggressive character, at the end of the Bushido school fight, he makes this man and another, eat the paper from within the sign, before heading out. The statement in the sign presented to the Jing Wu school saying ‘Sick Men of Asia’ is reportedly a statement made by an opponent of Huo Yuanjia back in the early 20th century (aimed at the Chinese).īruce had a very clear message against racial oppression in this movie.ĭuring the initial confrontation with the Japanese in this movie, one of the Japanese men states that if anyone of the Jing Wu can defeat him in a fight, he’ll eat the sign. When Bruce was in his prime, racism against the Chinese was a big issue he dealt with regularly. It then becomes a back and forth, racially charged war of Chen picking apart the Japanese group and killing off each of the main men, before facing off against the head of the clan, Suzuki. As he goes to investigate he discovers that the local Cook Tien and Housekeeper Feng are Japanese spies, and overhears them discussing the success of poisoning Chen’s master.Ĭhen attacks the two spies and kills them using the Fist of Fury. Later, during the later hours of the night, Chen is up, and hears a disturbance. This causes him more trouble, and the Japanese then want to get a hold of Chen Zhen and make an example of him, all the while trashing the Jing Wu school. He then picks a fight, and simply wipes the floor with the entire school, in awesome Bruce Lee fashion (punches, kicks, nunchaku, you get the idea). After they leave, Chen then makes a trip to the Japanese Bushido school (that the group came from) to ‘return’ their gift of the ‘Sick Men of Asia’ sign.
As the men enter they begin to taunt the remaining Jing Wu students in their masters absence, giving them a sign that reads ‘Sick Men of Asia’.Īfter being calmed by his fellow Jing Wu students, he refrains from getting violent, only to pushed just a little more. Shortly after, a group of Japanese men enter the school, lead by their Chinese interpreter Wu. Upon Chen’s arrival he has gone completely mad, in utter disbelief that his master could have died from pneumonia, claiming he was in perfect health. Chen returns home at the beginning of this film to mourn the death of martial arts master Huo Yuanjia, founder of the Jing Wu school in Shanghai. A little about Chen Zhen and Fist of Fury.Ĭhen is the main character of Fist of Fury, played by the Bruce Lee.
