Cheng is a city boy who moves with his cousins to work at a ice factory.
He does this with a family promise never to get involved in any fight.
However, when members of his family begin disappearing after meeting the management of the factor, the resulting mystery and pressures forces him to break that vow and take on the villainy of the Big Boss......
Bruce Lee made some films other than Enter The Dragon you know. The problem is that none of them hold up to that masterpiece. The Big Boss is a good project for him, and it's your basic poor against the rich story, with plenty of very well choreographed fighting thrown in for god measure. It's just a shame about the fake blood.
Lee is sworn against violence in this, but it isn't long before he disavows and returns to his fighting ways and begins to realise that his boss is killing off workers who have a bad word to say about him.
He soon sees through this and realises that they are drug dealers and killers, and so the third act is pure Lee mayhem.
And that's the problem, there isn't enough Lee mayhem, and the narrative between them is dull, and the script is laughable. That is why Enter The Dragon was better than any other Lee/Golden Harvest collaboration, it had an interesting story.
Not terrible, but it gets boring in places.
