the big boss (1971)


AKA Tang shan da xiong. Big Brother of Tongshan. Fists of Fury. Fists of Glory.
"Listen buddy you're not going anywhere. So you know. So what? You're heading for the freezer."
Chein (Bruce Lee) moves from the city to work in an ice factory with some cousins in Thailand. Before he leaves he promises his family he wont get into trouble. However, he doesn't realise what villainy is going on at the factory and is forced to act when some family members disappear...
Though it looks primitive now, Lee shows a presence on screen that reaches out to the audience. A basic story enlivened by Lee's skills, giving an indication of what was to come.
