Bruce Lee-Fist of Fury 精武门 P3
Jackie Chan appears as an extra in the school training scenes just before the Japanese spring a surprise attack on the school. He was also the stuntman for the Japanese villain, "Mr. Suzuki", in the final scenes of Fist of Fury. He can be seen flying through the air after Bruce's character delivers a flying kick. Jackie, fell much farther than originally intended, at a height of 15 feet. After it had been caught on film, Bruce rushed over to see if he was okay.
It is said that during the scene when Chen delivers the line "We Chinese are not sick", after defeating the students of the Japanese judo school, the audience at the Hong Kong premiere of the movie stood up and cheered. A similar standing ovation occurred when Chen shattered the "No Dogs and Chinese Allowed" sign, with elderly audiences who have actually lived in Shanghai during that oppressive era allegedly crying and embracing each other in joy.[citation needed]
One of the Japanese men during the park entrance scene is played by Yuen Wah who later appeared in many other Hong Kong action films and in Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle. He was also Bruce Lee's acrobatics double.
The real Jing Wu school still survives to this day and can be found in all major cities abroad (the Chinese ones are few in numbers, owing to the Cultural Revolution). Their headquarters are in Malaysia. Their students strive to keep the Jing Wu spirit to this day.
Strictly speaking, the existence of the infamous "No Dogs and Chinese Allowed" sign is probably a myth, although rules to that effect were in place and would have been made visible to park visitors.
I don't own this!
