Anecdotes:

Not once in the film does Hsiao Mi (The "Big Boss") actually leave the area of his mansion.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the last fight, the dead henchman in red turns his head from one side to the other from shot to shot. This is most prominent when "The Boss" throws his knife in the end (and the subsequent "kickback").

Guillemet:

Hsiu Chen: Why Cheng, you're a pretty good fighter.
Cheng Chao-an: A few tricks from back home. You know I broke a promise. Never to fight again.

The Power of Holding Back

Throughout this film you see a constrained Bruce Lee. Lo Wei is deliberately holding him back in order to introduce him to audiences and to save the best of his fighting for the second film. What we see here is a humane Bruce Lee who has feelings, a sense of humour, enjoys sex and is in control of his temper. He strikes up a good friendship with Shu Sheng who life is eventually claimed by the antagonists. When Bruce witnesses the mistreatment of his family in the workplace, he still holds back. Until...they break his necklace. At that moment, he explodes into action with centrifugal force, picking off each opponent with pin-point accurate kicks. It is a work of art that is akin to 'Samson and Delilah'.
