Trivia

The international title of this film was "Fist of Fury". In the United States the English dubbed version was released under the title "The Chinese Connection" to avoid confusion with "Fists of Fury", the title for the U.S. release of Bruce Lee's previous film Fists of Fury. The U.S. title was a play on the title of the highly popular film The French Connection. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Chen is wheeling his enemy's drunk servant in a rickshaw, he moves through multiple shots starting at night time. One of the shots is complete daylight. Eventually in the final shot it is night time again, making it seem like Chen had been wheeling for 24 hours to wheel this man home. See more »

Quotes

Petrov: Now that I've escaped from Russia, I'm your man.
Suzuki: That's very pleasing to me.
Wu: [drunk] What was that? What did he say?
