Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

dbborroughs Early Jackie Chan film where there is no sign of the Chan persona we know. This is Chan in a full on traditional revenge tale of the sort that was cloned and re-cloned by countless producers and studios all through Hong Kong Taiwan and Mainland China. Its a very serious story that shows none of the humor and warmth that would catapult Jackie Chan to super stardom. Its also clear from watching this that had he not reinvented himself odds are we would never have known him because his career would have been painfully short. As a film on its own merits this is a good looking but pretty unremarkable movie. I was watching it, in the midst of an all day marathon of martial arts films and it would have blended together with every other film that I watched that day had I not noticed Jackie in the film. Honestly I don't think the film is really worth bothering with (there are too many other better variations) except if you're interested in seeing where Jackie Chan started.

fuzzy_nolan Jackie Chan actually said in an interview that he felt sorry for anyone that had to see this movie. I'm going to have to agree with him, I was feeling pretty sorry for myself after I saw this slapped-together sham of a kung-fu movie.

clurge-2 Here we have one of the few flicks where Jackie Chan, our hero, spends more time taking a lickin' from everyone else, than he does giving it out. Jackie is stabbed, poked, choked, burned, scalded, sliced, whacked, skewered, and school boy'd in just about every scene of the film. It makes for plenty of action, don't get me wrong, but his only triumph comes at the end so that we can leave happy. I realize that Chan is supposed to represent the man who loses everything (house, family, friends, pregnant lover, etc.) but the guy can't even defeat a woman with super-human abilities?? Movies have taught me that Jackie can overcome ANY disadvantage and kick some tail...but apparently not here. Jackie spends more time on screen as a bed-ridden cripple than fighting the powers of evil. Reminds me of a story where a boy wants to move away from his parents because they beat him. When asked where he wants to go live he responds, "I want to live with Jackie Chan's character from 'To Kill With Intrigue', because he doesn't beat anybody!".

mcslime For a 70's Hong Kong costume martial arts flick, this isn't too bad. I've always been attracted to martial arts movies with a strong female character and the veiled lady in this movie is such a woman. There's lots of fly-on-wires kung-fu action, and Jackie (or Jacky as he's billed in the credits) spends most of the movie getting kicked around by the baddies, including, initially, the veiled woman. She, of course, falls for him - even though she killed his entire family and he has a pregnant girlfriend.
