The Filth And The Fury DVD

Advantages: Intimate and knowledgable
Disadvantages: Some meaningless asides

...Julien Temple’s first documentary about The Sex Pistols, The Great Rock and Roll Swindle, often gets criticised for its bias towards Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren’s version of events and for the fact that it didn’t include John Lydon’s input at all. The Filth and the Fury was much better-received, giving all the band members as well as McLaren time to tell their own stories. If anything, it’s biased more towards Lydon’s point of view – or at least, he makes more convincing arguments in his inimical sneering style. The film sets the scene of lower-class life in the UK in the 70s, showing a grim world of repression, boredom and grime, then charts The Sex Pistols’ rise to infamy, feuds and eventual break-up, interspersing interviews and live clips (though I’m thinking not live sound recordings, most of the time) with clips of Richard III...

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.... Read review
