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)
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident. It was a Puritan reaction in an age when, no doubt, a Puritan reaction was much wanted; but like all sudden violent reactions, it soon wanted reacting against.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
