This is another under the radar gem from Jackie Chan I really like. Yeah, it's not quite one of my favorites from him but I like it all the same. This was another one of the first films that really got his career going and at this point Jackie truly was on the right track.There really isn't much to say for the plot line it's kinda a typical martial arts plot which really just by it's nature a byline for the action and comedy which this film delivers plenty of and well.The action in this film is great but it's the comedic tone and energy along with it that just turn the action up and make in all the more enjoyable which I'm moving with the punches but laughing my head off at the same time.I like that ceremonial dragon battle which was solid as we see both different Dragon teams are playing a game of "American Gladiators" Joust as their trying to knock each other off the platform.But the two battles that stand out the most to me are the fight with the police inspector which was a lot of fun and cracks me up. The police inspector is swinging with the sword but during the fight Jackie picks up some sort of valuable relic which looks like some sort of marijuana pipe or something. And then the inspector is still swing the sword in places but never making contact with Jackie and the pipe as it seems to as the inspector can't bear to have it destroyed.And the final battle which is hilarious as Jackie continues to fight he of course is getting his butt kicked and constantly in need of water. Yeah one on one fights can be thirst work. It's not until what happens near the end when Jackie drinks something that isn't water, and in the words of an old commercial "That's Brisk baby!" So overall if your a Jackie Chan fan, this is a forgotten gem worth checking out.Rating: 3 stars

Review: It was weird watching this film again because it brought back old childhood memories. I remember the epic ending completely amazed me and I thought that the whole thing was real. The movie came out on VHS when I was 7 so I didn't get to see it until I was around 9 years old so I really thought that Jackie Chan was in pain towards the end. Anyway, this is definitely what I was looking forward to when I started this Jackie Chan season because it's extremely authentic and full of epic action. In some of the scenes it did seem like they were fighting for no reason and the plot did get a bit confusing in the middle but the epic showdown near the end was excellent. Watching Chan take some formidable punches whilst gearing up to kick butt near the end, still gave me goosebumps but like most of his movies, he just has to add a comedy element to the intense situation. For that time, the stunts were amazing and the choreography was spot on. I just hope that the rest of his earlier movies are just as good. Great Film!Round-Up: This movie was also directed by Jackie Chan, who gives you an in depth insight into his methods behind the camera, on the bonus features of the DVD, which are definitely worth a watch. I must admit, I did miss all that "You Killed My Master" type of concept but it's still worth a watch if your into you vintage Kung Fu movies.I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/adventure/comedy, Kung Fu movies, which came out on VHS during the 80's. 7/10

One of Jackie's most memorable movies ever made since it brought the early prototypes of Jackie's now trademark choreography. It is not Jackie's best movie since he had to rush making it (and I'm pretty sure it would be one of his best if they had given him more time) but you sure can't miss this movie since this is the movie that set the cornerstones of his later trademark choreography.In this movie you see Jackie's good slap-stick-humor and a mix of his "old" and "new" fight choreography. Yes it is visible it was a rushed affair and part of it ain't that great, but this is a must for Kung Fu films and Jackie Chan fans.I especially want to praise the ending of the movie which is comparable to Legend of the Drunken Master, one of Jackie's more memorable and more famous Kung Fu film. In this movie (along with Legend of the Drunken Master) Jackie actually gets scary, right there in your face staring at you in the eyes in the final fight scene.Good movie, not his best but still good. 8/10

I picked this DVD up at GameStop during their Buy 2/Get 2 free sale at our local store and I have to say, it's one of the funniest Jackie Chan films I've ever seen! The situation comedy throughout it was wonderful, especially the parts involving Jackie's character and the police chief. The action scenes were good, too... but I really have to recommend it for the comedy. I was going to give it 9 stars due to not caring for the very end of it, but the rest of the film just urged me back up to 10.*possible spoilers*It's got a lot of potential for riffing, too. More than once I found myself singing The Imperial March when some of the music started up in certain scenes (the brass and timpani reminded me of Star Wars at certain points) and during the fight in the street when Jackie's in the orange skirt, you really can't help but shout "Olé!" each time he stops and strikes a pose. (The fact that they're playing bullfighter music in the background just makes it seem so right, you know?)
