This publicity shot of Bruce Lee reveals the martial arts master in the character of Chen Zhen from 1972’s “Fists of Fury.” Lee was also the film’s action choreographer, demonstrating the actor’s versatility and complete mastery of his profession. “Fists of Fury” was originally named “The Chinese Connection,” but the title was changed due to “The French Connection” being in theaters at the same time. This alternate name is referenced on the caption found on the back of the photo. “Fists of Fury” made 1,000 times its budget in profits and propelled Bruce Lee and introduced the martial arts movie genre to millions of new fans.          The Type I photo offered measures 8x10" and displays immaculate clarity. Some light creasing in the corners is to be expected on the 52 year old original photograph but does not take away from the importance and otherwise very clean photograph.
