This is not such a bad film, yes its far from great. The problem of course is Jackie Chan Kong-sang being credited as the star, which speaks for most of his early films which he played a supporting role in. Also there is no decent version that I know of, only cheaply produced and horribly dubbed bargain bin DVDs and VHS'. Now, if we look past all that, this is not a really bad film. It has a story which is nothing we have not seen before, and I for one really like Charlie Chin Hsiang-Lin, and I though he did a great job. In fact he is the biggest reason I enjoyed the film as much as I did. I think its only his 6th or 7th film.The action is weak, and the music is kinda hokey to say the least, but I enjoyed it for what it was. I believe there will never be a properly remastered version with original language etc etc. So this is what we get.As for Jackie Chan Kong-sang. This is very early on in his career, in fact I think this may be one of the first times you see his face this clearly on screen. At this point he was not an international superstar. Everyone had to start somewhere, and to be honest you will not find a good Jackie Chan film that pre-dates his career launching "Snake in the Eagles Shadow".I really bugs me when western companies take early films with famous people in small roles, and mis-lead people to make some bucks. However, on the other hand if Jackie was not in this film, it probably would never have seen the light of day in my part of the world in any way shape or form. So for that, I guess I can be thankful. . .

The funniest bad movie ever made was Street Fighter. This is a close second.It is filmed on no budget to speak of whatsoever, has the worst-quality dubbing, the most pointless plot, the most dim-witted characters, and the poorest editing in the entire history of movie-making.That said, it was ferociously funny. I use this as the centerpiece when I invite friends over. They watch it and laugh with gusto. I laughed until my guts retched up my esophagus. Nearly every single scene has something to laugh at. It is entertaining for that reason, and therefore highly watchable. Go see it and then humiliate it for generations to come! Also, the English dubbers have cute half-British accents that make it all the more entertaining. Notice how everyone is saying "HUH?!" and "Listen!" whenever they speak."Listen, you're making a mistake!" "Listen, shut up!" "Huh?!" "Listen, you all right?" "Listen..." !!!SPOILER!!! Look out for this scene: A fake policeman enters the hero's apartment. He asks the mother: "Can you read?" She says no. He shows her an EMPTY piece of paper (completely white) and says, "We're from the police." It matter that she can't read, god, if she can't tell that there's nothing on the paper she's got bigger problems than illiteracy!

Well, one could hardly complain about renting what I thought it was a Jackie Chan movie entitled 'Young Tiger' on the DVD Cover. Once, I realized it wasn't, I watched it anyway. I was kind of worried in the opening scenes where the picture quality and dubbing was really poor, and the fight sequences even worse. The DVD cover is called 'Young Tiger', but the title on the film was 'Rumble in Hong Kong' (even, the marketing folks can't make up their minds), and apparently it's called 'Police Woman' here. Can't understand that choice because her character wasn't the main one.Jackie (or Jacky) Chan plays the 2IC in a nasty street gang and he's mainly a supporting character, as his purpose is to torment our hero; the cab driver who wants to make the streets safe and is caught in a bad situation. Some ex-female member of the gang dies in his cab, and the gang are searching for a purse she had. She is related to the "Police Woman" character who assists the cabbie. The gang think the poor cabbie has got the purse. Anywho, what follows is an endless array of bad fight scenes and people talking off-camera. It's pretty bad, even for it's day 30 years ago. There is some unnecessary social commentary in there too. Hard to judge properly because the quality of transfer, and the dubbing were awful, but even so, I don't think this film was the great to begin with. If you are a Jackie Chan film fan, this film in 'Young Tiger' or whatever is a piece of crap banking on his success. I doubt it would have seen the light of day otherwise as a DVD in Australia.*½ out of *****!

Not much to recommend in this average low rent 70's kung fu film, for true. Possibly an interesting flick to some as Jacky Chan (spelt that way in the film credits of the low quality DVD, of which I am the underwhelmed owner) plays a villain.However, Chan "plays" a "bad guy" so badly this performance actually underscores his normal "good guy" persona.A note on the DVD, entitled "Young Tiger" (2001 Front Row Features edition) the cover has only Jackie (spelled this way on the cover) Chan's picture on it (without the huge mole on his face as seen on screen) and prominent positioning in both printed credits and blurb.All this is entirely misleading as Chan has only a limited part in this movie. Minus, the print is no better than low VHS quality and with a story line that failed to hold my interest, so that when my hard drive went into spasms of yammering sound, and locked up near the end of the movie it was uncharacteristically welcomed by me.I rebooted and watched the rest of it out of sheer duty to the movie, this review and you. You're welcome.Jackie Chan was obviously not hired for his martial arts skills. In the obligatory last reel fight scene the hero soundly whups up Chan's villain who only gets in a sucker punch to prove to the viewer how much he deserves a beating, I suppose.I value this movie at One "dingbat of your choice" out of Four "dingbats of choice." Watchable if you like the genre.Peace out, onelover
