Dinos K Pathetic rip-off of the first original movie. This clown can't copy the legendary Bruce Lee Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Audience Member Review: This is a very authentic Kung Fu movie which I found quite amusing because of its funny dubbing and old skool storyline, we're a pupil is out to revenge his master. The old ones are always the best! Jackie Chan was a young looking 22 year old when he starred in this movie and his martial arts skills wasn't as polished as they are in his latter movies but the epic showdown at the end was still quite good. Chan plays A Lung, who steals from the rich with his father, who he also lives with. After turning down many Kung Fu schools because he doesn't like the fact that he would have to change his lifestyle, he finally joins a school because he is fed up with the way that the Japanese are putting down the Chinese way of training. One of the Japanese Kung Fu school leaders, wants to make all of the Chinese martial arts schools come under his umbrella but all of them want to stay independent so the conflict turns to violence. He offers all of the schools to a battle for power but his elite squad easily take out the Chinese top fighters. When he finally gets to challenge A Lungs school, an epic showdown between there top fighters takes place and the Japanese leader uses underarm tactics to try and take out A Lung. I just admit, the action scenes were not the best and some of the fighting was really slow but the determination from Chan in the final showdown was great. There was a hint of silly comedy at the beginning but once the movie gets going, the politics between the Japanese and Chinese schools was quite interesting. I doubt they could make a movie like this in this day and age because it's not really politically correct but with that aside you can really see how much Chan stood out from the rest at such a young age. I can't really see how it's connected to the original Fist of Fury, which Chan also starred in and I do think that people will be a bit disappointing because they might be expecting something close to the original, which starred the brilliant Bruce Lee. Anyway, you can't fault this movie for its authenticity and believable cinematography but the action scenes were a bit weak. Watchable! Round-Up: This movie was made a few years before Chan hit it big with Drunken Master but he still had a few movies behind him so he wasn't new to the big screen. His acting was quite impressive, for that day and age and the straight forward storyline was interesting throughout. The director, Wei Lo, who died in 1996 of heart failure, also directed the original Fist of Fury and the Big Boss which both starred the great Bruce Lee, so he was one of the lucky directors to have worked with the best in the martial arts world. He had made over 60 movies in his career, most of which I can't pronounce because they were made in China but he will always be remembered for the movies that he made with Bruce Lee which have become timeless masterpieces.  Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: HK$456,787.20 I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/martial arts/dramas starring Jackie Chan, Ming Cheng Chang and Shen Lin Chang. 5/10 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Ai Long (Jackie Chan) is a young pickpocket who must fight for his life against the Japanese war machine. After his fiance's school is destroyed and the Master murdered, the fiance teaches him a new and deadly art. Together, they avenge the death of the Master in a battle of unsurpassed violence and bloodshed. also stars Nora Miao, Chang King, Lo Wei and Sing Chen. directed by Wei Lo. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Jackie's first starring role, back when he was credited as Jacky and didn't have the eyelid surgery yet. The transfer is terrible, cutting off the left and right side of the shot. Great fights at the end, shocking finale. Too long. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Jackie Chan Is The Only Man Who Could Star In A Sequel To A Bruce Lee Film & Get Away With It. Director Lo Wei Returns To Direct While Nora Miao Reprises Her Role From The First Film (Bruce Lee's Girlfriend), To Exact Vengeance On The Japanese. Here We See A Young Chan (Who Was Under Contract With Wei's Company At The Time), Take Up The Fight Against Another Japanese Martial Arts School Hell Bent On Destroying Chinese Academies In Taiwan. Only Thing Is Chan Is No Match At The Start As He Has No Martial Arts Skills, So As A Bonus We Get To See Him Go Through A Gruelling Training Before He Heads Out To Dispense Justice. This Film Might Have Flopped At The Asian Box Office, But Is An Enjoyable Classic. This Is A Chance To See Chan In His Formative Years, With A Tougher, Bloodier & More Vengeance Filled Role. Unfortunately The Film's Plot Is A Bit To Similar Of It's Predecessor. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member was good and had a wonderful storyline :) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
