When Wang Yu′s films were no longer popular in korea, Bruce Lee was considered a new discovery, because Wang Yu′s popular films were about swordsmanship and his new works about marshal skills were less dynamic than Bruce Lee′s. The Big Boss is the first Hong Kong film in which Bruce Lee played the protagonist after returning from America. The film recorded the highest box office hit in Hong Kong and achieved international success, so that it paved the way for GH to export films starring Bruce Lee to the international film market.
