Two mugs green tea from Thailand.

Watched a free download of Fist of Fury (though I have the DVD) online. It is my favorite Bruce Lee movie. Barely the second blockbuster in his career, I consider this the height of his beauty. The action is swift, there isn't a dull moment, and the shots are well-composed. There isn't a bad angle of Bruce Lee, and, whenever he is in a scene, I can't take my eyes off him--even during scenes in which he is disguised (including his Charlie Chaplinesque telephone man scene).

This version was 1:46:05 and had the recently-added theme song for the opening and end titles. 

I do have the same comments, though:

--If he cut the telephone line outdoors, how could he have repaired two telephones indoors?

--I am somewhat disturbed by the dog-eating scene in the cemetery.

--In the ending shot, why are the upper windows dark when scenes immediately previous to it showed that the upper floors were fully lighted?

--Also in the ending shot, how could the police have fired at Chen leaping into the camera without hitting anyone else in the background--the Chinese police officer, the Japanese consulate officer, the school captain, the surviving school members, and Chen's girlfriend?
