"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO BE? KUNG FU? WHO TAUGHT YOU THAT LOAD OF S***?"
this one stars the great and legendary jackie chan, the legendary simon yuen siu tien, and king of leg combat super duper korean legend wong jang lee as the villain. jackie plays freddie wong fei hung and his simon yuen plays his master old man so hai. wong jang lee plays thunder leg......a murderous assassin who kills for money. this flick also stars dean shek tien, yuen woo ping's brother sonny yuen shun yi, tyrone hsu hsia who serves a assassint fight choreographer along with yuen woo ping, yuen shun yi and corey yuen kwei, and san kuai as the dreaded red the ironheaded buddha and minion to tyrone hsu hsia's character the stick king. this film is silly, goofy and yey the fighting is graceful at mid speed for a film made back in 1978. the best fight scenese was jackie chan vs. wong jang lee part 1 where jackie is badly beaten and brought to reality by wong, jackie chan vs. tyrone hsu hsia after jackie masters the drunken style, and the final battle between jackie and wong which was rather unorthodox but still great to watch over and over. get this flick considering the fact that the opening fight scene had 5 minutes cut from it because yuen woo ping apparently didnt keep his footage according to ric meyer and the other in which they give a great audio commentary track. the editing is superb not like your typical kung fu flick.

I AM REVIEWING THIS TO CALL OUT TRADE AND 5, WHATEVER THE HELL THAT NAME MEANS
DID YOU WATCH THIS MOVIE, IT IS LIKE AN HOUR AND 50 MIN. LONG, I LOOKED AT YOUR REVIEWS AND YOU HAVE COPIED AND PASTED A TON!!!! OF THESE REVIEWS, SAVE YOUR STUPID REVIEWS FOR THE THE TRULY BAD MOVIES, BUT NOT ONES LIKE THIS THAT HAVE BEEN REMASTERD AND HAVE RESTORED ALL THE FOOTAGE THAT THEY COULD. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WATCH THESE MOVIES VERY MUCH, BUT THIS OONE IS ABOUT 25 MIN LONGER THAN MOST.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, THIS VERSION ISN'T PERFECT, BUT LIKE I JUST SAID, THIS IS THE BEST VERSION YOU ARE GOING TO FIND. RIC MEYERS EVEN POINTS OUT THAT HE REMEMBERS THE OPENING FIGHT AS BEING A LOT LONGER. THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS MOVIE IS THAT THE AUDIO CUTS IN ANDOUT OF CHINESE AND ENGLISH WHICHEVER LANGUAGE YOU ARE WATCHING

THE THING THAT REALLY SELLS THIS MOVIE IS HWANG JANG LEE, THIS GUYS LEGS ARE LIEK WHIPS THAT CAN SNAP AT YOU AT ANY SPLIT SECOND. HE DOESN'T FAVOR ONE LEG LIKE JOHN LIU, BUT LOOKS STRONGER AND STRONGER WHILE SWITCHING LEGS WHENEVER HE NEEDS TO. THE SCENE WHERE HE EMBARRASES JACKIE HAS TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST LEG SCENES EVE.

OVERALL, NOBODY WILL PERFORM DRUNKEN STYLE ON SCREEN BETTE THAN JACKIE. THIS GUY IS PRETTY AGILE, AND HES BETTER IN THIS THAN HE WAS IN DM 2.

Fun Kung Fu
Good movie. Jackie Chan is a real master at his art. If you like Jackie Chan you'll really like this movie. Fun movie to watch if you're into the old Kung Fu style movies.
