The ending
So does Chen die at the end? it pauses as he jumps, is it just the sound of guns?
shareYep, he dies. This ending was copied from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

copied? just because some decides to kill of the main character in that particular fashion makes it a copy??? ermmm...nooooo
In asian films if somebody was shown in breaking the law (ie. killing people) it was a custom and duty to show what happens to such law breakers, by having them arrested or shot down by police.
I'm not talking about the fact that someone was killed at the end of the movie for their crimes, I'm talking about the style in which it was filmed.
At the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Butch and Sundance run towards the camera, the picture freezes, you hear the sound of shooting, THE END. At the end of Fist of Fury, Bruce runs towards the camera, the picture freezes, you hear the sound of shooting, THE END.
The style is exactly the same and the idea for the ending of Fist of Fury was taken straight from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Is it that unlikely that two different people could come up with a similar idea?
Its effective but quite a basic invision, stranger things have happened.
Lo Wei being chinese and in Hong King might not have even seen the film, i wouldn't be so sure that he went round watching western films.

shareOn the audio commentary, Bey Logan also says that the ending is inspired by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

we have to remain logical...there's no choice...
I think Bruce does die. and so do the police and school members who are stood behind him. Why has nobody ever noticed this!!!

If Lo Wei hadn't done a few sequels of this movie, I could believe that, but Nora Miao and Lo Wei reprise their characters in a sequeal, which is just a movie, and not much fighting.
I always thought the guys that had the guns where photographers and they where taking a few snap shots of him
shareBruce was like at the end, "You Wanna Kill me, here I am.
share1. Butch and Sundance didn't know they were rushing out to their deaths. Chen did. In real life, it only took 3 Bolivian soldiers with rifles.
2. So the scene was a copy with some major variations. It happens all the time.
3. Chen was in the air and a good distance away when the police opened fire. It's possible no innocent people were killed.
