Pitch

Cheng Chao-an, a young Chinese immigrant, leaves to look for work in Thailand. He practices kung fu but has promised his mother not to use his fighting skills against anyone. Hired in an ice factory, Cheng quickly discovers that his factory serves as a front for fearsome drug traffickers who do not hesitate to kill their workers and curious onlookers. He will finally break his promise to fight alone against the traffickers and foil their actions.

After having long refused to act for Hong Kong producers, Bruce Lee agrees to play the star of two films directed by Lo Wei which will make him famous: Big Boss and Fury to Conquer in 1972. Both films are an immediate success and Bruce Lee becomes a star in Hong Kong.
