Lo Wei's attempt to cash in on Jackie 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

It seems that the movie makers used lots of footage from the first movie, making the story choppy and incomplete. Apparently the studio that owns the film rights tried to cash in on first Fearless Hyena movie's success. The real story: The Lo Wei monstrosity. Jackie had just started filming this movie before moving to Golden Harvest. Lo Wei was quite bitter and even got the Triads involved. Jimmy Wang Wu got Jackie out of trouble so Jackie did two favors for Jimmy, making Fantasy Mission Force and Island of Fire. Lo Wei was very bitter over this entire situation so a couple of years later he put together Fearless Hyena 2 from the little filmed footage that he had, outtakes from Fearless Hyena, and new scenes that they shot using a Jackie Chan look-a-like. All of this nonsense is why I don't like this movie that well. It does have Jackie in it and didn't turn out that increadably bad so I'll give Lo Wei that credit. But none for trying to cash in on Jackie's name. A real disappointment in many fans opinions. Go see the first one... and you shouldn't waste your time with this one. With that said... you may feel stupid buying the Fearless Hyena double-video pack. Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware).

Editorial Review:

A 1976 novelty item for Jackie Chan completists only; he plays one of his rare costume roles, and his only bad guy. The star is Jimmy Wang Yu (One Armed Swordsman) as Hero Mei, a freelance warrior whose top-secret weapons are explosive projectiles known as killer meteors. Mei is hired by the so-called "Immortal Meteor," Hua Wa-bin (Chan), to eliminate his pesky wife, who (Hua claims) is plotting to kill him. There are some clever, gimmicky fight sequences and some amusingly far-fetched weaponry. A couple of glamorous sword-fighting women are also involved, as is a potion called the Pulverizing Drug, which melts people into puddles, like vampires exposed to sunlight. But there's so much plot to get through (adapted from a lengthy serial novel by Gu Long), and so many long-winded explanations to plow through that none of the characters have much free time for fighting. The movie plays both as hard-boiled (with everybody betraying everybody else) and as a medieval Chinese conspiracy yarn: kung fu Robert Ludlum. --David Chute

Good luck getting this DVD to play well... 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

For starters, I will admit that the widescreen presentation of the English dub of this film is probably the best I've seen of any release of it. However, the film itself is a mediocre patchwork mess, with plenty of footage with a Jackie double. During one fight scene, blink and you'll miss both Mars and Yuen Biao, longtime JC collaborators.

The biggest problem with this release is that the DVD is poorly manufactured. On two different DVD players, I could not get the disc to read properly. The disc would jump to random chapters every ten minutes or so in one DVD player; it wouldn't even read at all in the other one! I would suggest saving your money and, if you really MUST have this movie, buy one of the many other releases of the film. No matter how you slice it, the film isn't very good anyway, letterboxed or not!

The Best Version Of This Film 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Thist is probably the best version of this film (included Japan version from Pioneer - that is the version around it acts here).
The picture is according to my opinion very good and the dub (From the Original Language) is one of the best that I ever heard.
Unfortunately there are altogether 7 errors on the DVD. The chapters move on up once. Chapters - 2,5,8,10,16,18,19
The B-Side of the DVD is an insolence - contains the Chinese Version,with chinese and english subtitles.
It's only an old vhs copy.(No sharpness,stripes)
The Jackie Chan Music Video is very good,only the sound is missing!

excellent style 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

this movie's plot is weak and steriotypical, the dubbing is [bad] and Jackie barely smiles, but the kung fu, which is what I bought it for in the first place, is excellent.

I study both the snake and the crane styles of shaolin and I must say, aside form all the cartwheels and usuall razzle dazzle of movie kung fu, the coreography, (which Chan was highly involved in) was excellent and mostly true to the real styles of shaolin.

If you like alot of action, blood and childish swear words dubbed in to movie then buy this.

It's excellent

Editorial Review:

Jackie Chan apprenticed in a series of straight-faced martial arts revenge films before he found his true calling as the clown prince of kung fu in Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and the original Drunken Master. The sprawling clan-war conspiracy adventure Snake & Crane Arts of Shaolin is one of his best pre-fame efforts, a tale of tenuous alliances and double-crosses, with cocky young warrior Jackie in the middle stirring up trouble. The sly rascal in the den of thieves, however, is actually an honorable young acolyte on a mission of vengeance. It's the usual story, with a little more comedy and plenty of old "strike and pose" fight scenes energized by Jackie's youthful athleticism. The opening theme song was cribbed from the same music library that supplied Monty Python and the Holy Grail. --Sean Axmaker

Jackie Chan is not in this movie! 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This DVD set with Jackie Chan's name all over it does not feature Jackie Chan. The first disc is a documentary about martial arts actors with some stuff about Jackie for about five minutes. It is ok if you like a PBS style documentary about actors.
The second disc is called Jackie Chan's Second strike, but he is not in it at all. You might like the movie, but again if you bought it because of Jackie Chan on the cover, it is disappointing and I think even misleading. I bought the thing to see Jackie Chan and was very disappointed. There are some pretty good fight scenes and the lead bad woman cop is pretty good.

Synopsis 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

TOP FIGHTER: An in-depth and action-packed look at the top stars in the field of martial combat. For the first time, the very best of the best clash in the arena where each can show his specialties to the fullest. Using rare and hard-hitting footage, Top Fighter goes where no other martial arts film has gone before - exploring the psychology of the combatant and how each has perfected his craft. Through exclusive interviews, the secrets of Bruce Lee's art (Jeet Kune Do) are shown; Jackie Chan explains the rigors of his training days in order to become the best; Van Damme describes his early years as a frail youth and how he became a mega-star in martial arts. The most outstanding masters in martial arts history stand together for the action extravaganza of the decade.
SECOND STRIKE: World Kickboxing champion Saskia Van Rijswijk (China White) stars in this action-packed thriller set in Hong Kong's underworld. Sheila (Van Rijswijk) is a corrupt police lieutenant who leads a murderous gang of drug dealers. Peter, a man whose wife and son are brutally murdered by Sheila's gang, teams up with an honest policewoman to bring the gang to justice.

RIP OFF... BEWARE OF THIS FILM 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

As some of the other viewers have already noted... this film does not star Jackie Chan (however, he did direct it). The movie is actually pretty good- but I am here to tell you that this (Brentwood Home Video) copy is horrible. You can even see people walking in front the screen during certain parts- the images are cut off due to it being filmed directly from a TV screen. Vintage Video released the same film in "Jackie Chan- Triple Punch Collection". The box set is cheap and the transfer is actually a trasfer- not a video of a TV screen. The quality is still low, but acceptable considering it is not digitally remastered. It is ashame that Amazon carries Brentwood- they should rethink carrying such a shady company. (Just so you know- the triple punch is not that great of a deal, the second movie "fantasy mission" is ridiculously poor by any standards).

All the above aside- the film should get some credit- it is not the fault of Hua Chen that his movie was pirated and deviously marketed. The movie IS good, the surrounding context is what makes this a rip off.

Editorial Review:

Another early kung fu flick from Jackie Chan's Wei Lo period (Wei Lo, who also directed Fists of Fury with Bruce Lee, directed seven of Chan's early films), Spiritual Kung Fu (alternatively titled Karate Ghostbuster) has Chan playing a familiar character--the bumbling underdog. Chan is a Shaolin monastery student whose fighting style and wits aren't quite up to par. Dissension and panic arise in the temple when a thief steals the book of the Seven Fist Style, a form of kung fu that allegedly makes its masters invincible. While guarding the temple's library, Chan comes across a lost book that teaches the Five Style Fists, which can defeat the Seven Fist Style. What's more, the book comes with five mischievous spirits that teach the style to Chan. When the monastery is challenged by the man who stole the Seven Fist Style, the spirits help Chan defeat him. The DVD transfer and voice dubbing are more akin to a Saturday afternoon television matinee than a technical tour de force, but the story certainly lends itself to its presentation. A campy and uneven effort (what else can you say about a movie in which spirits don white body paint and bright red fright wigs?), Spiritual Kung Fu, like the Wei Lo-directed Half a Loaf of Kung Fu, was shelved for a couple of years before being released in 1978. --Shannon Gee

Pretty bad 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 7 people found this review helpful.

"Young Tiger" is a pretty bad movie no matter what way you look at it. The acting is bad, the fights are mediocre, the dubbing is bad, and the focusing is terrible. It is almost like an amateur with a camcorder woke up one day and decided to make a movie. The only reason that I gave this DVD two stars is because Jackie Chan is in the movie.

Early Jackie Chan mastery 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

One of Jackie Chan's earliest films, the Young Master is a great example of his burgeoning comedic and fighting talents. The story is of a student kicked out of his school and Jackie's quest to find him. Don't be put off by the old school quality of this film as it is paced fairly well unlike many films of this period. The fight with the fan, the lion dance at the beginning, and the final action sequence with Whang Inn-Sik are three highlights here. The DVD quality is okay, but the film quality is pretty poor due to its age and its storage in Hong Kong. A good triple feature viewed alongside Drunken Master and Fearless Hyena. Recommended.

BEST JACKIE MOVIE EVER, AND PROBABLY HIS FUNNIEST. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This movie does an amazing job of just making everybody look badass.

It's about jackie and his brother tiger, they were orphans and were brought up by a kung fu school. Later on in life, they have a lion dance and tiger gets hurt right before it and jackie(dragon) has to be his replacement, yet in the competition he notices his brother competing for the rival school, he can't believe this, so tiger leaves and dragon has to bring him back, but his brother has become a bad guy.

I will now go over some of the best fights in kung fu history, AND THEY ARE ALL ON THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breaking master out of jail.

Jackie 2 on 1 as an old man.

Funny sword fight.

LI-LI_LI-LI-LI-LI-LI-LI-HOTTIE!!!!!!!

Bench fight

Pipe fight(that's the king's pipe)

Oh yeah, the end fight is pretty good too


Now I don't know what version this is, because they don't have a freaking picture of it, but I have the 86 min version phhh, while the 86er is still one of my favorite movies ever, I would like to see the 106 min version that is out there.

This movie seriously ranks as one of the top ten kung fu movies ever. AND IT IS THE GREATEST KUNG FU COMEDY EVER. But to see another 20 min of this movie qould be a collector like me's dream come true.

So definitely find out what version this is, or if you only got like 5 bucks to spend on it get the cut up version like I had.

Also this movie has my favorite dubbed line ever:::::

Master----why, why did you betray us

Tiger-----because master, I betrayed you, I'm leaving now

Now it doesn't get better than that does it.
