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:
“Children, randomly at first, hit upon something sooner or later that is their mother’s and/or father’s Achilles’ heel, a kind of behavior that especially upsets, offends, irritates or embarrasses them. One parent dislikes name-calling, another teasing...another bathroom jokes. For the parents, this behavior my have ties back to their childhood, many have been something not allowed, forbidden, and when it appears in the child, it causes high-voltage reaction in the parent.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“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)
