Does anyone have great memories of seeing THE BIG BOSS (1971) late night on Channel 4 (UK) in the 90s? It was the first time I saw the uncut version after watching the VHS countlessly in cut form. What a revelation it was - especially seeing it as a child. The film is at times rough (very, very rough) in its quality and execution but there are so many iconic moments peppered throughout that all is immediately forgiven.
