Oddly enough, then I think that this 1971 movie "The Big Boss" (aka "Tang shan da xiong") is one of Bruce Lee's most outstanding movies and has some of his best performance.
The storyline was quite good, and there was more to it than the usual one-man-against-a-syndicate-of-evildoers that tended to be the formula in the traditional Bruce Lee movies. Sure, it was there, but it was not the focal point of the movie. "The Big Boss" actually had a good and well-written storyline which carried the movie a great long way.
And the fact that Bruce Lee was actually acting here and not just showcasing his impressive martial arts skill also helped to add to the overall enjoyment of the movie.
Sure, there were some cheesy moments in the movie, such as a strangely orange substance supposed to be blood, and a man punched through a wall, leaving behind a cut-out of himself in the wooden wall like seen in a cartoon. That was just downright idiotic.
"The Big Boss" have some interesting characters in the storyline, and they had some good actors and actresses to perform in the movie.
I am rating "The Big Boss" a seven out of ten stars. This is, without a doubt, one of the most memorable and entertaining of movies in the Bruce Lee legacy.
