Bruce Lee’s return to the Hong Kong film industry after a decade in America proved to be his big breakthrough, launching him to instant superstardom and setting a new standard for kung fu heroics. He commands the screen with his gravitas and explosive physicality in the role of a Chinese immigrant working at a Thai ice factory and sworn to an oath of nonviolence. When he discovers that the factory’s ruthless higher-ups are running a secret heroin ring and offing their own workers, his commitment to pacifism is put to the test. Director: Lo Wei | Runtime: 100 minutes | Year: 1971 | Rating: UR | Country: Hong Kong | Language: Mandarin, Cantonese, Thai w/ English subtitles.
