Member 66 Mantis Posted January 11, 2012 Member Share Posted January 11, 2012 So, I found a listing for a very early (and apparently widescreen) vhs release of Fists of Fury. This very old tape has a running length of 103 minutes. Since I still have vivid memories of seeing some of the gory, censored footage (table saw going all the way into the back, etc) on video way back in the early 80s, I asked the seller if it contained any of the footage (I was very specific about what happens and when). His reply was, "It probably isn't the one you're looking for". The tape costs $25 plus postage. Should I go for it even if I can't really afford it?

It's just going to be the standard version we've all seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the running time suggests its FIST OF FURY - AKA CHINESE CONNECTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 66 Mantis Posted January 11, 2012 Author Member Share Posted January 11, 2012 Nah, the running time suggests its FIST OF FURY - AKA CHINESE CONNECTION. Except underneath the Fists of Fury title, the box actually reads, "Also Known As "The Big Boss". It's a very old "Master Arts Video" clamshell vhs.

Member Son Of A Gun Posted January 12, 2012 Member Share Posted January 12, 2012 There is nothing extra in it, trust me. Ignore the running time. Many people have this video release. They've never reported seeing anything extra in it. Not a smidgen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortuntely, that means the search continues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
