Bruce Lee’s first major role and the movie that made him a star across Asia. He plays a man who uncovers a drug smuggling ring after his cousins mysteriously disappear. With a brilliant performance from Lee, plus his incredible trademark fighting, it’s a true martial arts classic!

When Cheng Chao-an (Bruce Lee) travels to stay with extended family Thailand, he takes a job with his cousins in an ice factory. With the factory’s abusive foreman and gang violence within the town, he Cheng struggles to keep the oath he swore to his late mother – than he would never fight again.

But when his cousins begin to disappear, Cheng unravels a dark secret in the factory and it’s just a matter of time before he breaks the oath…

With its raw cinematography and trumpeting score, The Big Boss is as authentic as 1970s Hong Kong martial arts cinema gets. What truly sets it apart is the charisma and phenomenal physicality of Bruce Lee, who makes one of the most memorable leading man debuts in movie history.

It’s a smart move to have his character make a vow of nonviolence – by keeping Lee grounded for the first half of the film, it builds huge anticipation for the action. When he does eventually erupt into a blaze of kicks and punches, it’s easy to see how Lee became a star overnight.

The film is also notable for featuring fight choreographer Yien Chieh-han as the titular “Big Boss” – and his climactic showdown with Lee does not disappoint!
