1036 - The Big Boss (1971)

In the promotional material for Lo Wei’s The Big Boss (also known by a few other film titles) break-out star Bruce Lee is seen flying through the air, shirt half-torn from his body, contorted into a now-iconic running jump kick, certain to be delivered to the face of some punk to glorious effect.  But does the movie pay-off with this acrobatic feat of violence, as promised on the poster?  Yeah: it does.  Because Bruce Lee is a movie star.

If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma (2018).
