we never found him! he's missing in action! is Jackie Chan that desperate to accept a movie without any sense at all? the action scenes didn't even help salvage the whole movie! I felt like I was trying to solve some Chinese arithmetic problem just to squeeze out any good in this film.please save yourself from wasting time and money! stay away from this film! the only thing this movie did to me was add more sins in my life like cursing, cursing, cursing and cursing.what a way to rip off people! at the beginning of the first scenes, i was soooooo worried because the fight scenes were horrible. but then it gave me a slight hope when it just turned out to be a "film shoot" of Jackie Chan. while going through the movie, I realized the first scenes were actually the best ones compared to the entire film! I was just hoping the lady cop or the cigarette vendor who helped the kid has a lustful taste for the boy just have some sense of "Ooohhh"ness

An extended service announcement: kids, be nice to granny, honor your family, and study. That's it, albeit sprinkled with tidbits of Jackie Fu. There's no more depth or character development than a moderately swank ad; in fact, I've seen ads that do a much better job. Every character is a foil, including our protagonist who's rebellious and wants to learn Kung Fu so he can kick the butts of those who kicked his. We never get a clue as to why he's rebellious, why he doesn't want to study, etc.; he's a mono-dimensional punk and we don't care. He has encounters with some promising characters—a girl and her master in a monastery, an impressive woman cop—but none of these relationships go anywhere and are dropped in service of moving the main character along his track to encounter Jackie Chan who, as has been mentioned, we see very little of. Then the service announcement (I refuse to call this a "movie") moves inexorably on to complete the message and our protagonist-foil, who's blatantly in service to this ad's message, asks granny about her granny. Lesson learned and now he's a wonderful kid. Yippee. How I managed to finish watching this advert I'm hard pressed to say. I think it was a morbid curiosity to see if it was going to finish as badly as it seemed it surely would.

A dumbass kid with big dreams looking for jackie chan, thats pretty much the whole story. Watched this because i like jackie chan movies but like so many movies before they just used a well known actors name who is in the movie for about 5 minutes or less. Good marketing but really annoying for us who watch the movies.As for the actual film it was somewhat entertaining, some funny scenes and the action parts weren't too bad, not good but better than B movies. The movie is probably much more entertaining for Chinese audiences, i don't understand Chinese culture at all so i think i missed about 80% of the humor. The kid seems to lose his martial art skills for some reason, in the start he can fight but after the first fight scene with the teacher he doesn't seem to be able to do anything.

Originally and more accurately titled Looking For Jackie, this 2009 Chinese family comedy has been retitled for its UK release in a cynical attempt to cash-in on Jackie Chan's recent Karate Kid remake. But with little screen time for the martial arts legend, does the film offer enough elsewhere to placate fans angry at being duped into picking up this DVD?A little research shows that Jackie Chan & The Kung Fu Kid was certainly a hit at the domestic box office, setting a new record for local children and family friendly productions. The film is not unwatchable and there is some ironic fun to be had, mostly due to its stiff lipped and po-faced tone. However, for anyone expecting to see much of Jackie Chan, martial arts action in general, or even an engaging 'rights of passage' tale about one boy's journey into manhood, will be left disappointed.
