| Nora Miao in NEW FIST OF FURY Year: 1976 Rating: *** |
Adorable wide-eyed Asian beauty Nora Miao appeared in all of Bruce Lee's Hong Kong movies before ENTER THE DRAGON... as a drink-stand owner in THE BIG BOSS progressed to a love interest in FIST OF FURY to an exposition-spouting ingenue in THE WAY OF THE DRAGON, and she was even slated for a cameo in Lee's original concept of THE GAME OF DEATH...
Ironically, not only does she have a far more important part in what's basically a remake in THE NEW FIST OF FURY starring upcoming-fighter Jackie Chan, but she's actually the main character with the most overall screen-time, basically overseeing the familiar plot-line of a Chinese karate school's possible downfall after The Japanese take over Shanghai before the Second World War...

Her main job's to adopt a rogue bandit into becoming the new version of Bruce, and her character's name is even Mrs. Lee... And while Chan is always fun to watch doing karate, he's never fleshed out as either a rogue or thief...
As for the action, Chan's simply too fast and furious to pick his moments, so that every move counts... ultimately outshone by both an intense Nora Miao and real life karate expert Ming Liu as a Japanese fighter: both women aptly channeling Bruce Lee's original anger and rage — while Chan seems more like he's filling time than filling shoes.
