Description of this Fury to Conquer Poster
The Fury to Conquer (also known as The Chinese Connection) is a 1972 Hong Kong martial arts action film written and directed by Lo Wei, produced by Raymond Chow, and starring Bruce Lee as his second major role after The Big Boss (1971). Lee plays Chen Zhen, a student of Huo Yuanjia, who fights to defend Chinese honor in the face of foreign aggression, and to bring to justice those responsible for his master's death.
The film was produced by Orange Sky production company Golden Harvest, which was still in its infancy at the time. Directed by Lo Wei, it was Bruce Lee's second kung fu film. The film, which addresses sensitive issues related to Japanese colonialism, features "realistic fight choreography." It stands out from other films of the genre by its historical and social references, particularly to Japanese imperialism.
The film grossed approximately $100 million worldwide (or over $600 million when adjusted for inflation), on a budget of $100,000.
In Rome, Chen Ching-hua and his uncle Wang have problems with their restaurant because of a crime boss who wants their property. When Chen refuses to give it up, the boss sends gangsters there to scare away the customers. Calling on an uncle in Hong Kong, Chen receives help in the form of a young martial artist, Tang Lung (Bruce Lee). When he arrives, he is disoriented by his new surroundings and appears to be nothing more than a boor. Disappointed, Chen asks what help he can provide, but Tang confidently assures her that he is competent enough. At the restaurant, Tang learns that the staff has started learning karate, much to the dismay of Quen, an employee who prefers Chinese kung fu. Tang advises Quen to be open-minded and use whatever works.
Soon after, the gangsters appear at the restaurant and scare the customers away by threatening them while Tang uses the toilet. Upset by Tang's poor timing, the employees question his skills and the usefulness of his style. When the gangsters return, the staff engages in combat with the thugs, but they are beaten. However, Tang single-handedly defeats them, leading the staff to decide to train under him. Uncle Wang warns them that the gangsters will seek revenge, but Tang vows to protect the restaurant. Chen and Tang become closer, and she takes him to visit Rome, although Tang is unimpressed with the city.
Ho, the crime boss' subordinate, returns with armed men and takes the restaurant staff hostage. Ho gives Tang a ticket to Hong Kong and asks him to leave again. However, when his men escort Tang outside, the latter defends himself and beats the thugs with his two nunchucks, with the help of the restaurant staff. Tang warns Ho not to come back, and the thugs leave the restaurant. The staff celebrates their victory, but the gang leader threatens to have Tang killed if he does not leave before Chinese New Year, and Uncle Wang urges Chen to convince Tang to leave.
When Tang refuses to abandon the restaurant, an assassin attempts to kill him from a nearby rooftop with a sniper rifle. Already agitated by the nearby fireworks, Tang survives the attempt. He then tracks down the assassin and defeats him after tricking him into wasting his ammunition. When he returns to the apartment, he finds that Chen has disappeared. Assuming that Ho has kidnapped her, Tang goes to the boss's headquarters with the restaurant staff and beats his men. Tang issues a final warning to the boss to leave the restaurant alone. The employees celebrate again, but a telegram to Tang interrupts them when they learn he has been recalled to Hong Kong. Tang assures them that he won't leave until the situation is resolved.
Ho hires two martial artists to challenge Tang - Japanese and European karate masters who initially refuse to work together. When the mob boss indicates that money is no object, Ho also recruits a world-class martial artist named Colt. Under the pretext of a truce, Ho leads some of the restaurant staff to an isolated location, where the two martial artists ambush them. The two martial artists ambush them. They beat the staff first, until Tang intervenes and lets the staff finish off the last one. Meanwhile, Ho lures Tang to fight Colt at the Coliseum.
Left behind, Uncle Wang stabs the last two staff members, because he wants to sell the restaurant to the crime boss and return to Hong Kong a rich man. In a decisive ten-minute fight, Tang incapacitates Colt. When Colt refuses the opportunity to have mercy, Tang reluctantly kills him. Tang then places Colt's gi and black belt on his corpse as a sign of respect, before discovering Ho and chasing him outside the Coliseum. As Tang and Ho return to the ambush site, the mob boss arrives and shoots Ho and Uncle Wang. Then the police arrive in a car, led by Chen, and arrest the leader as he tries to kill Tang.
With the matter finally settled, Tang sets out to return to Hong Kong. As they leave, Quen tells Chen that Tang is a loner who will never settle down.
