Ethan and Mason discuss/review the crime thriller, whether Jackie is a believable villian, and which of his movies are the best introduction for a 2 year old.

Fist of Anger (1973)
An emotionally raw and very violent movie about a group of Chinese rebels who take a stand against Japanese soldiers when Japan occupied China. Jackie is in a supporting role here, but we’ve never seen him as angry and violent as he is in Fist of Anger. Apologies in advance, the recording abruptly stopped half way through but we still wanted to upload it. Perhaps we will revisit it at the end of the series.
