The ARHATS IN FURY of the title refer to the animals, observed by a monk (Lao), who live around a temple. When foreigners try to take over his temple, the monk uses the martial arts he has learned from the animals to help defend himself.
...(especially for Manga fans). But the DVD does have its moments particularly when the animation freezes to announce Kenshiro's fighting moves. Excellent Stuff. This DVD contains the Episodes 8-14 of the Series and can be viewed in both English Dub and the Original Japanese language. I would advise most people to watch it in English simply because the characters look "Western" and hence it sounds rather strange in Japanese (with English subtitles).
Finally one has to Buy this DVD for the Episode Titles Alone. For Example:
1:STRIKE THE HIDDEN POWER POINT! No Requiem For The Wicked
2:VILLIANS! Say Your Prayers Before You Die!
3:RAGING FLAME REVERSE FLOW PUNCH! There Are Too Many Who Must Die!
4:VILLIANS! Listen To The Blues Of Hell!
5:I AM DEATH! I Will Chase You To The Ends Of Hell!
6:THE ARHAT DEVA FIST! Once Unleashed, There's No Holding It Back...

Advantages: pretty good martial arts Disadvantages: it lacks Bruce Lee's, choreography
...Brother of Chen Chen (Bruce Lee), Chen Shan (Bruce Li) sets out to get revenge for death of his brother. As in Fist of Fury it is all about the Chinese against the Japanese. This film is made in similar style to Game of death 2 as in there is more fighting than anything else. In Fist of Fury 2 Bruce Lee had already been killed before the film started. In fact he was killed at the end of Fist of Fury by the Japanese council. Just as Bruce Lee avenged the death of his teacher, Bruce Li avenges the death of his brother. The film is literally non-stop action from beginning to the end. The fight scenes are on average longer than in Fist of Fury and the last fight with the samurai is more dramatic but Bruce Lee fights better.
Ps
Ignore ‘weak’ for special effects, there are not any....

Advantages: Everything you need to know about Billy Fury. Disadvantages: It's still not long enough!!!!
...This is a fabulous biography of 60s rocker Billy Fury. I've been a fan since I was nine years old and I was over the moon when this was released. For any fan, the recent Billy Fury revival - the release of this DVD and the accompanying CD entering the Top 20 - has been a long time coming and I for one am over the moon that he seems to be being recognized once again.
The DVD has 20 chapters spanning Billy's life and career from the early years in 1940s Liverpool to his death in 1983. It includes information about the music scene in general in the 60s and of Billy's specific place in what is now rock and roll history. It tells of his first audition, his work for Larry Parnes and his friendships with his peers at the time. It details his recordings, his tours and his movies with lots of little anecdotes from his friends, family, peers...
