With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone who appreciates a well-choreographed fight and anyone after some adrenaline. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal. Same wavelength as Fist of Legend or Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
In the last "Big Boss" (AKA "Fists of Fury"), Cheng Chao-On was arrested after killing Hsiao Mi, "The Big Boss." In this unofficial sequel, his brother, Cheng Chao-Chun, visits his brother in Thailand, finds a job at the same ice factory that his brother worked at and avenges the death of their father.
