The Big Boss (1971)
6/10
High Points Sandwiched Between Boring Parts
22 March 2013
A young man (Bruce Lee) sworn to an oath of non-violence works with his cousins in an ice factory where they mysteriously begin to disappear.

I have been watching Bruce Lee movies this week, and so far this one was probably the snoozer. There are some good fights in it. Heck, there is an incredible mêlée about a third of the way in where twenty or more men were kung fu fighting. Their moves were fast as lightning. Frankly, it was a little bit frightening. But that was the highlight of the film.

Before this big fight, and after this fight, there is a lot of monotony. In other movies, this would be where you build a plot or work on character development. But here, I just did not get that feeling... it felt like an excuse to build the running time of the film.
