Okay gang, last one I promise, haha.

 

I'm looking for some more information about the reception of "Fist of Fury" (known in the US as "Chinese Connection") and also "Enter the Dragon" in Hong Kong/China when the films initially came out in the box office.

 

I know that Chinese Connection was one of the hugest grossing films but I need something about the expectations of the films from audiences (especially the sense of trans-national Chinese sense of identity) because I am contrasting them to what the West (US) was expecting from the two films.

 

Any assists would kick ass.

ENTER THE DRAGON:

Budget

$850,000 (estimated)

 

Gross

$25,000,000 (USA)

$90,000,000 (Worldwide)

$3,307,526 (Hong Kong)

 

Filming Dates

25 January 1973 - 2 April 1973

 

CHINESE CONNECTION:

$100,000 (estimated)

That's all they had on that film.
