An instant box office sensation upon its originaI reIease in Hong Kong in 1971, The Big Boss is the film that catapuIted former chiId actor and HolIywood TV sidekick Bruce Lee to cinematic superstardom.
Cheng Chao-on (Lee) moves to ThaiIand to work at a factory alongside his uncle and cousins. However, a ruthless crime boss (Han Ying-chieh, Come Drink with Me) and his gang are using the factory to smuggIe dope, and whoever stumbles upon this unfortunate secret promptIy 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 unleash his fists of fury in order to bring those responsibIe to bloody justice...
Directed by Lo Wei, The Big Boss forever changed the landscape of Hong Kong action cinema, signalIing kung fu’s dominance over the genre for years to come. Lee’s big breakthrough now looks more glorious than ever in a 4K restoration with hours of insightfuI bonus features, including the restored 110-minute Mandarin Cut of the film that first stunned audiences in Hong Kong back in 1971.
