| Bruce Lee's first big film, Wei Lo's The Big Boss |
QUICK REVIEW:
Workers start to disappear, when they discover their factory's drug-secret. But the new foreman won't stand for it! - He is determined to clean up the mess!

| A man with a purpose: Bruce Lee in Wei Lo's The Big Boss |
Bruce Lee's (Enter the Dragon (1973)) first big Hong Kong kung fu movie is a romantic, drug-themed plate of the best in Hong Kong martial arts.
Boss is very low-budget, but has cool intro-graphics, an exciting story and inventive fight scenes. - The flying dogs take the prize! (See it to believe it!)
After having SPOILER exterminated all the villains, the hero of Big Boss is imprisoned.

- A cool kung fu movie, and the biggest Hong Kong movie hit ever at its time.
It exists with no less than 3 different scores and has also been sold in the US with the titles, The Chinese Connection, Fists of Fury and Fist of Fury, - erroneously so, as this is the title of a later Bruce Lee film.
