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.

You've reached the end.
