Format:DVD
This is a very good martial arts movie and probably Bruce's most violent and bloody one. Out of his five films this one comes fourth, in my opinion. But since all of his films are absolutely bloody brilliant, that's not a bad thing at all. This new Platinum Edition is absolutely fantastic, and a dream come true for all Bruce Lee fans, with some very interesting extras for you to loose hours of your life watching.
The only off-putting thing about this film, or even this DVD package, is the overly exaggerated sound affects whenever somebody throws a punch or lands a kick. But trust me, I've heard worse!!!
Buy this DVD!

Good film with great fight scenes!!
However, If your looking for the original 'The Big Boss' without any of the rubbish editing then this is not the dvd for you. Why did they change the credit theme?? Now its as if Bruce's character is feeling sorrow for what he did rather than triumph!
The only place I have found the original 'The Big Boss' is the 30th anniversary box set, which I definitely recommend!
The editing of this film is the only reason I have not give it 5 stars.

Ver y dated and very poor.
A silly plot, bad dubbing, corny dialogue, bad camera work and too much use of red paint make this "epic" a very dated film indeed. Read more

a promising start for one of the greatest martial artists!
i think "the big boss" is a little rough round the edges as some of the fight scenes are a bit clumsily done and you get the usual problem of witnessing some of the worst dubbing... Read more

Bruce Lee's first (and most violent and bloody) movie.
Not one of my fave Bruce Lee movies, but still great.

A few times, you hear the sound effects before they even get hit. Read more

location
Interesting note that this film was shot entirely on location in Thailand, near Khao Yai, yet features not a single Thai actor!
