An Undated (probably 1970s) Re-Release Theatrical Folded Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm])
Artist: Averardo Ciriello
Description: Jing Wu Men (released in the U.S. in 1973 as "The Chinese Connection" and as "Fist of Fury", which makes a confusing situation even more confusing, since Lee's other early hit was "Fists of Fury" in the U.S.), the classic 1972 Lo Wei Hong Kong kung fu martial arts fighting action crime thriller ("Unstoppable! Unbelievable! Unbeatable!"; "The Master of Karate/Kung Fu is back to break you up, smash you down, and kick you apart with 'The Chinese Connection'"; "The fateful day Chen Chen vowed vengeance"; produced by Raymond Chow) starring Bruce Lee ("The greatest exponent in the art of kung-fu"), Maria Yi, Nora Miao, Robert Baker, and Tien Feng. Note that this movie received a very limited release in the United States until after the success of "Enter the Dragon", at which point it received a wide U.S. release. Also, note that Australia distributed this movie as "Fist of Fury", and released Lee's previous movie (Tang Shan Da Xiong) as "The Chinese Connection", which further complicates things!
Overall Condition: very good.
