Film 7/365, Day 5/365 – The Big Boss

Originally known as Fists of Fury, The Big Boss follows the story of Cheng Chao-an who moves in with his cousins and joins them in working at the ice factory. When his cousins start to go missing Cheng begins to question the manager and in turn the big boss. Oh and to make things harder for Cheng he has taken an oath not to fight.

Whilst The Big Boss looks quite dated compared to kung fu films of present, which is understandable as it was made in 1971, Bruce Lee looks as cool and collected as ever. The fights scenes are excellent and there is even a spot of comedy whether indended or not. I refer to the scene where Bruce kicks a man through a wall leave a man shaped hole. Brilliant, but dated.
