The Big Boss (DVD) Reviews

When Bruce Lee came from the US to Hong Kong, he was surprised that he had become a hero to many through The Green Hornet series. The Hong Kong film industry was really small scale notable only for their films designed to tap into the Chinese film markets.Lee and The Big Boss would change everything.

First I'll rapidly address some key issues: 1) I'm a huge fan of Bruce Lee and yes I do believe he was the greatest martial artist. 2) Don't ever bother with any version of this movie except the Hong Kong Legends one. There are a few more, but they are worthless when compared to the HKL one, especially in the picture quality ...

I think that this film has got to be one of the best martial arts films of our time. The speed of which Bruce Lee enforces his technique is amazing. I don't think we will ever see another martial artist as fast as Bruce Lee without camera tricks. There was only one fault i found with this film which i didn't like. This film, ...

In the 1960s, Lee travelled to Hollywood, appearing in the television series "The Green Hornet" and the film 'Marlowe'. However, Lee found little ...

i was a big fan of the man bruce lee, but one day i realized i did not see one of his movies. (about 10 years ago). When i bought 'enter the dragon' i thought, wait i've seen this before and the same with 'way of the dragon'. But when i first bought 'big boss' i just knew i did not see this movie before, or i would ...

This was Bruce Lee's cinema debut. After his success in Hong Kong his film made the journey to the states where prejudice still ran high in 1971.
