Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Guardia This Kung Fu film has some really good ingredients. The thing that doesn't quite come through for it are the production values. The action sequences, the plot, the characters, the settings are all interesting and worth filming, but the actual cinematography and audio quality are quite poor, and so I found it unusually difficult to watch.If you can put these issues aside, the film is great for it's time. Jackie Chan really begins to show his immense talents for what is probably the first respectable time. His acrobatics are great, as are the Snake & Crane styles he employs further on in the film.Interestingly, his character is a little bit cocky, and his body language is a little unusual for him, as if he was told to act a little more American or something. Also, his back-hand strikes seem a little odd and over-used. One of the other great things is the appearance of all the different clans in the film. Th Black Dragons, the Flying Tigers etc really add some colour and interesting rivalry - not to mention the opportunities for various back-stabbings and double-dealings.I would give everything in this movie an A, but the production values a C.

Jameel Rahman If you've ever played Lei in any version of Tekken, Hsu Yin Fong is the character he has to be based on. Just look at the crazy 'Snake and Crane' stuff he does in this flick...the greatest Lei player, ever! This movie also contains the immortal line, "We're from the Wu-Tang Clan! If you know what's good for you you'll hand over that book!", right before Hsu Yin Fong unleashes the fury of the snake and crane on a whole restaurant-full of opponents, stopping every once in a while to relax on a chair for a bit or grab a bite to eat as he takes all these guys to school. This really is a classic movie that should be in the collection of anyone who likes gongfu movies. Peace -Jameel

Zargo At first glance this movie is just another one of those old chan movies with the slightly irritating, forgettable title, and equally forgettable movie, but this one's content is pretty good.It only drags occasionally, and the action (and even plot!) is very good, great to see jackie in control! It does make a change seeing him play someone other then the lovable underdog as well, but although this movies isn't humerous as far as i could tell, it's not deadly serious either. Snake & Crane is horribly edited, and critisising the dubbing of a jackie chan movie is hardly an original notion, but it is very watchable, and while not a 'must-see' it is definatly one of Jackie's old ones that fans shouldn't be afraid to take a look at!

Edwin Bailey This movie's actually really good, especially considering how old it is... There's a wonderful cast of characters, each with their own particular weapon/style, and it doesn't dwell too much on plot like some earlier pics. Jackie Chan refers to this in his book as his "First Dream Project", and it shows, because it really looks like he's in control with the action and story. Not bad at all.
