In the China of 1908, respecting one's teacher is a sign of breeding, and avenging his murder a sacred duty. When a martial arts master (Bruce Lee) learns his revered kung fu instructor has been murdered, his shock turns first to disbelief, then to anger. Determined to wrest vengeance from the gang responsible, he travels to Shanghai to hunt down the killers - and ends up facing some of his most dangerous opponents. A combination of power, grace and humor, this action-packed thriller is a Bruce Lee classic. Also known as "The Big Boss".

Bruce Lee kicked around Hollywood for years looking in vain for an American break when Hong Kong came calling. As Kato in the TV series The Green Hornet he had become an Asian star (the series was renamed for his character when it crossed the Pacific) and ripe for his own vehicle. This raw, low-budget effort, called The Big Boss in its native Hong Kong and Fists Of Fury in the United States, is a generic revenge drama enlivened by Lee's intense screen presence and martial arts prowess.
