Goofs
At the beginning of the movie when Chen is sent to see his uncle's burial he's given a green umbrella for the rain. When outside he is using an orange umbrella.

The "Magic Pants" goof. Bruce Lee enters the Japanese Karate school for the first time carrying the framed and glass-covered "Dung Ya Bing Fu" sign. A fight between Bruce and the entire dojo breaks out. As he whirls around fighting his waist sash loosens and his kung fu pants sag deeply, revealing about three inches of white underwear from the back. Then a sudden cut shows Bruce posing motionless having defeated the current round of Japanese attackers. His pants? Tied up around the waist, nice and snug. Now that's some kung fu!

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.

Q
What are the differences between the old British VHS and the Uncensored Version?
A
In the time of VHS all Bruce Lee classics were only released as more or less censored versions in the UK. As one can imagine, the nunchakus used by Bruce Lee weren't popular with the censors of the BBFC and scenes with these weapons had to be completely removed from Fist of Fury. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
