Criterion Reflections – Episode 103 – Lo Wei’s Fist of Fury

David is joined by Michael Worth, Richard Doyle and Jason Beamish as they battle shaky VOIP connections and emerge triumphant to discuss this kung fu masterpiece starring Bruce Lee.

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. This fourth season of the podcast features conversations about movies that originally premiered in 1972 and were destined to eventually receive the Criterion imprimatur. In this episode, David is joined by Jason Beamish, Richard Doyle and Michael Worth to discuss Fist of Fury, directed by Lo Wei and starring Bruce Lee.
