Pick of the Day: Digital, Cable and Satellite Television

FILMFOUR'S "ICONS" season tonight turns its attention to father and son, Bruce and Brandon Lee. Brandon (right) stars in The Crow (11pm FilmFour), an eerie horror film from Alex Proyas about a rock star who returns from the dead to take revenge on the gang that killed him. Also starring Ernie Hudson and Michael Wincott, the movie took on a chilling notoriety when Lee died in a tragic accident during its production.

This is followed by The Big Boss (12.45am), which sees Bruce Lee, in his first starring role. In this 1971 martial-arts classic, directed by Lo Wei, he plays a man who starts work in Bangkok ice factory run by local crime boss Han Ying Chieh. However, when several of his family members disappear, Lee must break a family oath never to fight, and takes on all comers with a bit of kung-fu fighting.
