Abstract

Bruce Lee’s “Fist of Fury” is one of the bar settlers in martial arts movie history. The movie has been truly meaningful not only to Chinese speaking people but also to the East Asians including Koreans. In the current study,through the analysis of “Fist of Fury,” and “Fist of Fury” similar movies including its sequels, imitations and remakes, how those movies mirror the nature of relationships among the three East Asian countries (China, Korea,and Japan) has been discussed.“Fist of Fury” was filmed when Taiwanese and Hong Kongers had anti-Japanese sentiment due to Senkaku/Diaoyu island dispute. Because the movie was filmed vividly portraying the anti-Japanese sentiment throughout the entire story, Bruce Lee starred in the movie became a national hero. The current study indicates that because the legendary movie successfully read and reflected the contemporary film viewers’ sentiments in East Asia, it could be such an influential work. The study further illustrates that since the “Fist of Fury” similar movies understood the importance of contemporary viewers’ state, films attempted to echo different contemporary viewers reflecting the nature of relationships of the East Asian countries.
