Tokyo's version of 'On the Waterfront'????

Don't fight, the traditional way at least, could serve as a running theme in Fists of Fury.

Its their boss that is hurting / not helping the workingman. Do you have any idea how controversial that was while being so close to the mainland? They do a sit in protest too.

These guys are learning to fight, without their fists. This movie is sooo On the Waterfront for China and Japan. What an interpretation, whoever screened the Brando version in Japan didn't have it translated cause they missed it completely.
