Arrow Video resurrects the NEW FIST OF FURY (review)

When Bruce Lee died in 1973, Hong Kong cinema rushed to find a successor.  One of them was Jackie Chan who starred in NEW FIST OF FURY, a film that flopped upon release in 1976 and was then redubbed and rescored in 1980 for re-release after Chan's success with DRUNKEN MASTER.
