The Big Boss (1971)


A kung fu by Bruce Lee and Lo Wei.
A young man arrives in a new town and starts working at an ice factory. Several workers have disappeared, never to be seen again and he investigates with the help of his family there. When the bosses don't want to look for the missing men, the workers strike and violence breaks out. The new guy defends his co-workers and is promoted to foreman to shut him up. He continues his investigation into the missing workers anyway.
This is a really famous, early kung fu film by the supposed master, Bruce Lee. I have my doubts about his martial arts skills, but the movie was good. I had seen a different version with a different soundtrack before, but apparently, that's a common deal with lo-fi kung fu. The characters and plot were good and the style was alright. Obviously, the production value was lacking, considering the date. I'm rating it adequate (which I seem to do more and more) for a mix of good and bad then leads to a decent film.
