Reaction
This film is considered one of Bruce Le's lesser efforts. Mark Pollard of KungFuCinema.com gives the film zero stars out of five, and writes:
"Craptastic doesn't begin to describe just how bad Bruce's Fist of Vengeance really is. Congratulations if you're reading this, because you just found a review for one of the worst kung fu movies ever filmed...The kung fu is crap, the story is crap, the production values are crap... let's skip to the good stuff. Where else will you see Bruce Le begin a tournament fight wearing white pants, suddenly change to black pants in mid-battle, and end the fight back in his white pants?...A sure sign a movie is going nowhere fast is when approximately ten to fifteen minutes of screen time is spent filming real cock fights. That's right kids, highly illegal and highly inhumane, but nothing endears a screen hero like Bruce Le to his audience more than having him taking his girlfriend to the cockfights to place bets and generally have a grand old time as the birds peck each other's eyes out. If it were not so detestable, I would say these fights were the best in the film."

Famous quotes containing the word reaction:
“Sole and self-commanded works,
Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The excessive increase of anything often causes a reaction in the opposite direction.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
