RiffTrax: Fist of Fury is a 2014 comedy movie directed by Michael J. Nelson, starring Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy. In this hilarious parody of Bruce Lee's classic martial arts film from 1972, Rifftrax provides commentary on the characters and the plot as they try to make sense of the ridiculousness that unfolds on-screen. The movie stars Bruce Lee as Chen Zhen, a student returning to Shanghai only to find that his martial arts school has been taken over by the Japanese army. Chen Zhen is determined to reclaim his school and avenge the death of his master, but in doing so he must fight off numerous challengers and navigate a complex web of political intrigue.

RiffTrax offers up plenty of laughs as they poke fun at the dialogue, the fight choreography, and the actors' performances. They also go off on tangents and make pop culture references, adding to the entertainment value of the film. Viewers don't have to be familiar with the original Fist of Fury to appreciate the comedy, as the riffing is geared towards a wide audience.

What sets RiffTrax apart from other comedy movies is that the jokes are delivered in real-time, almost like a live performance. The movie's audio track is replaced with the riffing commentary, and viewers can watch along as the RiffTrax team makes fun of the movie. It's a unique viewing experience that has gained a dedicated following among comedy fans.

Bill Corbett, Kevin Murphy, and Michael J. Nelson are all veterans of the comedy scene, having previously worked together on Mystery Science Theater 3000. RiffTrax grew out of that show's popularity, and the team has since riffed on dozens of movies over the years. They have honed their comedic timing and their ability to riff on even the most obscure films, making them a force to be reckoned with in the comedy landscape.

Overall, RiffTrax: Fist of Fury is a must-watch for fans of comedy and martial arts movies alike. The riffing is clever and irreverent, and the movie itself is a classic of the genre. This is the perfect film to watch with friends, as the comedy is sure to have everyone in stitches.
