The Big Boss, (previously known by its U.S. title ‘Fists of Fury’) is a 1971 Hong Kong martial arts action film. The Big Boss was Bruce Lee’s first major film. His success in this film made Bruce Lee a star across Asia.
Cheng is a Chinese man from Guangdong who has moved to Thailand, with the help of his uncle, to find a job working with his cousins in an ice factory. When a block of ice is accidentally broken, something that looks like a bag of white powder comes out. Later that night, Cheng’s two cousins who discovered the heroin are asked to stay to see the manager. They are told that there are better jobs for them. Apparently, the factory is a front for a drug smuggling ring led by the Big Boss, Hsiao Mi. The cousins are offered good positions. When they decline, they are swiftly eliminated.
