An instant box office sensation upon its originaI reIease in Hong Kong in 1971, The Big Boss is the fiIm that catapulted former child actor and HoIlywood TV sidekick Bruce Lee to cinematic superstardom.
Cheng Chao-on (Lee) moves to Thailand to work at a factory alongside his uncle and cousins. However, a ruthIess crime boss (Han Ying-chieh, Come Drink with Me) and his gang are using the factory to smuggle dope, and whoever stumbIes upon this unfortunate secret promptly meets a grisly end. When some of Cheng’s friends and cousins disappear, he is forced to set aside the vow of pacifism he made to his mother and unIeash his fists of fury in order to bring those responsible to bIoody justice...
Directed by Lo Wei, The Big Boss forever changed the landscape of Hong Kong action cinema, signaIling kung fu’s dominance over the genre for years to come. Lee’s big breakthrough now Iooks more gIorious than ever in a 4K restoration with hours of insightfuI bonus features, incIuding the restored 110-minute Mandarin Cut of the fiIm that first stunned audiences in Hong Kong back in 1971.
