this is one of the worst dvds i have ever seen. the picture is sub-vhs quality; the dubbing and sound is even worse; the fight scenes look like they were done in a single take by some guys who had never fought previously. but this movie is mostly dialogue...and very boring dialogue at that. unless you're an insomniac and melatonin doesn't work for you, stay away from this movie.

Featuring A Young Jackie 1 out of 5 stars.

This has a supporting role from Jackie, in which he appears with a huge clump of hair on the side of his face. This movie is weird and confusing. The only reason you should view this is to see how young he is and see the hair on his chin. Other wise stay AWAY!

What is that hair on the side of jackie's face? 1 out of 5 stars.

A Sad Dissapointment 1 out of 5 stars.

The picture quality was horrible, as was the sound. Jackie Chan played a small role. At times the characters ventured into conversation that seemed more like propaganda than anything. This movie wasn't entended as comedy, but I couldn't help but laugh at how cheesy it was.

Editorial Review:

Jackie Chan makes a brief guest appearance in this surreally goofy action comedy, a high-spirited shambles from 1982 that hovers awkwardly somewhere between Monty Python and The Three Stooges. When all else fails, cult director Chu Yen-ping (Island of Fire) resorts to exploding cigars, guys making funny faces, men dressed in women's clothing, even a ghost or two. The nominal star, '70s kung fu veteran Wang Yu (The One-Armed Swordsman), is an Allied agent assembling a troupe of commandos for a mission behind enemy lines during World War II. (Although the landscape is obviously Asian, there are Hogan's Heroes-style Nazis scampering through the jungle.) Every member of this movie's mismatched clown-squad seems to hail from a different planet, including one inexplicable fellow who looks like an Elvis impersonator in a kilt. Most of the exhilarating action is handled by the glorious Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia, from Peking Opera Blues and The Bride with White Hair, who kicks heads and looks smashing in a red-and-black-leather jumpsuit. --David Chute

A nice collection of movies. A few of the old-world pony tailed martial arts movies. You can see a yound Jackie Chan maturing throught these movies.

About the DVD's I should say that the Pan & Scan is shabbily done with too much zoom, so that it makes us miss the action most of the time. You feel as if the person on screen is fighting with himself. The audio is also a bit weak. However I think it is due to the quality of the originals itself rather than the DVD mastering.

As is common knowledge, Fearless Hyena is a classic. Great action, nice storyline and good tempo. The movie video is better too as it is a recent movie than the others, which have some faded screens, especially Spiritual kung fu.

I couldnt comment on FH II however as I bought a used colleciton and this movies was not there. Reading from the other reveiws I gather that Iam not missing much.

Spiritual kungfu is a funny movie if you can accept ghosts acted out by guys dressed in white with red/blue/purple wigs !!!

Half a loaf of Kung fu is a poor effort to be funny but some of the action is good.

To kill with intrigue has some great action and amazing talent from most of the actors/actresses in the movie. But Jackie looks like someone else with an ugly ponytail wig and different facial make-up.

New fist of fury is to be considered a extra or bonus thrown if you buy the five pack. The movie doesnt merit anything else other than being a Jackie chan movie, and is nice to own one of his early days movies.

if this didn't have pai paio in it, I could actually believe it was from 1962, 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 2 people found this review helpful.

But it;s from the 70's. It starts out pretty good with pai paio looking like a baddassss in a cool white suit. And it actually gets very unwatchable from this pint on. I actually stuck through this for about 45 minutes until I had to fastforward to the end, and it still did not live up to the begining, and the beginning really sucked, I just thought it had potential. Pai paio actually looks pretty good, but NOTHING else was good in this. It truly deserves that 1/5, and wouold have gotten the 0/5 if they had it. Very sad movie.

I paid 5 dollars and 99 cents at the local cd used place and this is seriously worth around, can't think of a price, so I would say if you payed nothing for it you will get ripped off. So do not buy, movie starts out ok, but jimmy wang yu's screaming tiger is better. I thought that was bad, and jason is so much better than jimmy, it is just truly horrible to watch this movie. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is good old fashioned Jackie Chan Fun And it is at a great price. If you are a Jackie fan then this is a great addition to your collection

Master With Cracked Fingers/Fantasy Mission Force 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

The dialogue is not completely audible and the DVD transfer is a mess. There are constant screen artifacts that plagues both movies throughout. The Fantasy Mission Force movie is basically a cameo appearance for Jackie Chan. The Chinese to English translation dubbing wasn't translated corrected and turned what you can hear into a lame attempt at humor. Master With Cracked Fingers was advertised as Jackie Chan's first staring role. It is too bad this DVD was made so badly. I seen it sold at Best Buy . . .

Terrible 2 out of 5 stars.

I gave this 2 stars only because of Jackie Chan's presence. But then, he really isn't in all of "Master With Cracked Fingers". Apparently the filmmakers ran out of money and then tried to finish the film later, but Jackie is not in the whole movie. They substitute a very obvious imposter for him in many scenes. It is so obvious that it makes the story hard to follow, since from time to time a different character appears.

Both films are in 4:3 format, and look like they were taken from bad VHS masters. They look and sound horrible. No matter how much you love Jackie (and I do), avoid this set!

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.
