This film is generally regarded as one of Bruce Li's better films. It was not as well received as its predecessor, but was thought [ who? ] to be much better than Lo Wei ’s New Fist of Fury . In 2001, Bruce Lee fanzine Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger , Carl Jones spoke favourably of this film: "Li's martial skills are in top form here and his fights are well choreographed by veteran Tommy Lee. The final duel with Miyamoto is well staged and takes place at the Ching Wu school All in all a worthy sequel to a great Kung Fu classic." [ 1 ] Also admiring is Dean Medows, who wrote in his three-part Bruceploitation essay in Impact Magazine : "Fist of Fury 2 is a movie that is still regarded as one of the very finest examples of Bruce Lee exploitation cinema. With martial arts skills constantly improving, including his earlier limited nunchaku use, Li was now firmly established as the pioneer of Bruceploitation ." [ 2 ] Sequel Another sequel was released in 1979, titled Fist of Fury III: Jeet Kune the Claws and the Supreme Kung Fu .

Eric Reifschneider of Blood Brothers gave the film 2/5 and said: "I found this third entry worth a watch but overall it was just rather uninteresting. Perhaps with better filmmakers would this have been a rousing martial arts movie but as is it just left me a little hallow inside. Like usual with these post-Bruce Lee Bruceploitation films we get graced with an ultra shitty DVD of it in America. This DVD makes my DVDS for Chinese Connection 2 and Exit the Dragon look like Criterion releases! The film has horrible compr
