A mistake of a film
5 December 2023
FURY OF THE FIST AND THE GOLDEN FLEECE feels like if you took a group of Gen-Z kids, showed them a couple '80s martial arts flicks and said, "Okay, now YOU try it!" It's so lazy and ignorant in what it's attempting to satirize that nearly every bit of humor falls completely flat and is just oddly detached. On top of this, a kitchen sink's worth of color filters, overlays, film grain, chromatic aberration and more are overused with motion-sickness results. Oddly, they also added video game (or maybe graphic novel?) effects that were never in any of those old films. The whole thing is a dull but exhausting fever dream. This very barely looks and quacks like an '80s duck, enough to maybe fool young people who have bought into the "everything '80s is cool" bandwagon, but wow is it awful. So bad it's terrible. Avoid this at all costs.
