Advantages: amazing martial arts Disadvantages: none
...The BigBoss Bruce Lee's fist and probably his best film ever. The ultimate in martial combat. Kung Fu films do not get any better than this. This film probably inspired Game of Death 2, as they are similar as far as the plot is concerned. When The BigBoss kills his cousins Bruce Lee begins to show his true fists of fury In The BigBoss Cheng Chao-An who travels to Hong Kong in search of a new life. He goes to live with his cousins who get him a job in their local ice factory. When four of their cousins go missing and Chao-An is made foreman they soon realise that The BigBoss has something to hide. This is by far the best film Bruce Lee has starred in and sets the
standards for martial arts films.
ps
there are no special effects in this film, ignore where it says 'weak' for special effects...

Advantages: Good story line, good acting, innocent yet funny. Disadvantages: Not for any action fans.
...This film was originally going to be called, 'Love story', but the title infringed on copyright, so they went with their second choice. Love Story was totally to the point, the film is just that. Robert (McGregor) a lowly cleaner, is fired by his big time boss. In an effort to tell his boss what he thinks of him, it all goes terribly wrong, as Celine (Diaz), the bosses
daughter encourages Roberts insults toward her father. When security is called in, Robert manages to get hold of one of the guards guns, and shoots his boss in the leg. In an attempt to get away, he makes a feeble attempt to kidnap the boss daughter. He takes her out to a cabin, where she shows Robert that their is more to a kidnapping than he first thought. She teachs him the ropes, and they eventually fall in love.
This film is a very sweet, comical tale...

Advantages: Great Fight Scenes Disadvantages: None, Bruce Lee Rocks
...'s worth pointing out that there is a love story (as with all Bruce Lee films) in the background but enough of that and onto the action. The fight scenes themselves are very well done and this is where we get to Bruce in all his glory. Many of the scenes are very violent and you really get a sense of what the man really could do in real life, During the film he takes on a mob of henchmen and not to ruin it but he does kick some serious ass. The fight at the end when he actually confronts the BigBoss is also very well done and it's an excellent finale to the film. Good points would obviously be the fight scenes and the man don't you just love them sound effects he makes. Only bad point I would say is that the story might slow down a bit but that is to be expected as Bruce himself did not start to write his own films until the 2nd hit which...
