Fifty years to the day
22nd March 1972
Premiered the movie
In Hongkong theatres
The second film of Bruce'Lee

Fist of Fury
Same team at the helm
The real test to his career
One film wonder or a full fledged career

The immortal story
Of Chen Zhen
And his quest for revenge
Huo Yuanjia his teacher

Poisoned by the Japanese
A legend in his lifetime and a legend after
Founder of the Jhinwoo school
Taught many westerners the truth

Turn of the century
Set in Shanghai City
Under Japanese occupation
I'll treatment of Chinese the narration

Taking revenge his mission
One by one the murderers his victim
Japanese Karate school behind the intrigue
The school in its entirety single handedly pursued

Raymond Chow of Golden Harvest
Placing his bets
Putting this genre to test
Do or die for him and the rest

Lo Wei again at the helm
Million dollar director his middle name
Joseph Koo s wonderful score
I use hands the song a chart topper

Chen Zhen real or mythical
No one knows for sure
Many versions of this tale
Have come before and after this film was made

Fortunately a success
All involved continued to progress
Bigger budgets were allotted
Artistic and financial freedom rewarded

Wishes to the team
On making this theme
Hopefully will continue to grow
If the new generations taste bestows
