Fist of Fury

(1972, Lo Wei)

Martial Arts movies are not typically inspiring to me for painting but they are really fun to watch and get into the spirit of. In Fist of Fury I was particualrly fond of Nora Miao’s hairstyle flying as she darts around in combat (wig I assume). And since you can find all sort of Bruce Lee imagery elsewhere online, I picked a few subtler screenshots from the film. Probably one of my favorite movies he starred in, a lot of layering in context especially dealing with the subject of foreign oppressors.

An animated gif of a scene from the movie 'Fist of Fury' of a sign that reads 'No dogs and Chinese allowed' being kicked into the air and smashed by a flying kick from a young man. A screenshot of a young woman appearing to be a geisha stripping for a room of men in a traditional japanese room. From the film 'Fist of Fury'.
