An Undated (probably 1970s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/2" x 30" [34 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) 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!

Important Added Info: Note that according to Australian censor information, this film was released in 1974. The poster offered here is from 1975 or later (possibly circa 1977) and may be from a second printing run (which was created from a stock poster after the initial posters were depleted due to the popularity of the film) or a re-release. Until we learn more, we feel it is best to consider them to be from a 1970s re-release. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. There are faint water stains in the right border and tiny paper loss at the left end of the top foldline. Learn More about condition grades
