Fist of Fury | The Ritzy

Fist of Fury is part of ESEA in Action, a celebration of Black x Asian unity and cultural crossover, hosted by MilkTea and Dark Matter, showing as part of Art of Action, a UK-wide film season supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network.

Celebrating the grandmaster’s 80th birthday, join us for Fist of Fury. Bruce Lee stars as Chen Zhen, a martial artist seeking vengeance for the death of his master, who was murdered by a rival Japanese dojo in 1910s Shanghai. Chen uncovers a web of racism and violence, and battles the Japanese oppressors to restore honour to his school. His relentless pursuit of justice leads to a series of intense confrontations, showcasing his unmatched martial arts prowess and his defiance against tyranny.
