Probably the only reason this film is remembered so well is because it's the first major feature starring Bruce Lee, the legendary martial arts actor. And yeah, he's good in it. The fight scenes are slick and showy, definitely the best part of the movie by far. But aside from that... it's pretty boring, if I'm being completely honest.
And it's not Lee in any way. He's there to be the protagonist and the deliverer of sick kung fu moves. And in that capacity he more than satisfies. It's just that the plot is so clichéd. There's an evil mob boss who rules over a business filled with suffering common workers. A country boy, who just happens to be a master kung fu fighter, moves into town and through various events ends up opposing the mob boss. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's the exact same plot used by every single B-movie kung fu movie ever made. Every. Single. One.
So yeah, the plot is boring, but admittedly Bruce Lee is entertaining enough to give the film some value. Do see it if you want to say you've seen them all. Aside from that, I wouldn't bother.
