the fight with the russian...

This movie has my all time fav. martial arts moment...

Even tho I would say my fav whole fight would be the one with Chuck Norris in the Roman Coliseum, the fight with the Russian has the most incredible moment.

At some point they both go down to the ground, (or maybe it is just Bruce who goes down?), but he immediatly comes up off the ground, almost looking like the creepy Halloween guy from the first Halloween movie (rem. the scene near the end where the camara is focused on Jamie Lee Curtis, you think he is dead, but you seem him come up off the ground behind her...) and then immediately delivers a spectacular kick to the Russians head... so cool.

the fight with the moustachioed russian is excellent, but the best fight in the film (and possibly in all Bruce Lee's films) is where Bruce takes on the two japanese martial arts "experts", the fat teacher and the whole school.

Followed up by asome paper eating by the japanese martial artists, "we chinese are not sick men!"...oh yeah, that's the coolest

THEY WILL KILL US ALL WITHOUT MERCY!!!!

The Russian Petrov was played by the late Robert Baker , one of Bruce's US friends (he was in charge of Bruce's Oakland MA school)

Anyone noticed that Bruce bites Petrov , this scene is re-created in EtD when Roper (Saxon) bites Bolo ;)

Was the Russian the guy who was wearing a white long sleeve shirt (the one that guys wear while wearing tuxedos), with brown-orange-like curly hair and a brown-orange-like ugly-ass mustache? He and Bruce Lee were fighting outside and it was night.

Yes.

Yeah that *beep* was one of the most memorable fights in all of Bruce Lee's movies

Well there's not much competition in Fist of Fury, other than Suzuki or Chen vs. The Japanese School. The fight with Yoshida is one sided (although the ending is cool the way the sword just falls into him).
But yeah the fight with Petrov is cool, the finishinf chop to the throat makes me cringe all the time, it looks so damn brutal.
