Fist Like Lee - Part 2
vintage martial arts film poster
dimensions: 27" x 41 3/8"
date: 1986
condition: Good overall condition; this poster has been linen backed. Restoration throughout - tears, creases and folds in the margins and in the image. The color is rich and vibrant. Reddish undertone showing through the black pigment, particularly along the folds and worn areas. The "PART ll" is a separate snipe that was applied - a common and economical practice the help save money by reusing the image and adding a tag to it, rather than printing a new poster, particularly if it was a low budget film.
This is a rare poster - it's a serigraph, so only a small number would have been printed, especially since it would not have been widely distributed.
directed by: Wu Ma
producrer: George Wang, Don Wong
prodction company: Wang's Film Production & Distribution, China
starring: Dragon Chan-Tzu, Ha Chia-Kia, and Chung-kuei Chang
About the Bruceploitation:
Fist Like Lee - Part 2 Plot: A gang's plan to overthrow an emperor is thwarted by a young woman who has learned the seven steps of kung fu.
This is just one of a handful of films that were made to capitalize on the legend of Bruce Lee after his death in 1973 prior to the release of Enter the Dragon. The martial arts films made at during this time were frowned upon at the time, but have since built a cult following and are considered a phenomenon in cinema and pop-culture.
"Despite only having a short stint as a kung fu movie star, Bruce Lee had a tremendous impact on the genre, one that steered the direction of so many Hong Kong movie studios for years. For filmmakers, there was obviously a lot to learn from Bruce Lee's martial arts movies, but some did more than just take inspiration from the fighting in his films; a sizable number copied them directly through a strategy now commonly known as Bruceploitation."
A long list of look-alike Asian actors (mostly from mainland China and Hong Kong) were recruited to fill the part, including Dragon Chan-Tzu as well as Jackie Chan, who had been groomed to be the next Bruce Lee. Jackie Chan worked for Lee as a stuntman in Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon long before his trademark comedic skills were established.
