What's with the flashing Bruce Lee?
I've had the displeasure of seeing this film twice now, and I've been wondering about the scene where Jackie is carrying the sign and two shots from Enter the Dragon featuring Bruce Lee's visage flash across the screen. Bascially, my question is: What the hell? Am I the only one who noticed this? I've never seen it mentioned in any reviews or anything. I know Lo Wei directed the Chinese Connection, to which New Fist of Fury is supposed to be an unofficial successor, but come on! How ham-fisted can you get? I think I remember Jackie Chan saying in his autobiography that Lo Wei was pretty incompetent, and that every martial arts director was in a race to find the 'new' Bruce Lee... Well, I guess I just answered my own question. Unless someone else has another theory. I guess it really isn't worth thinking about, though.
