It's hardly surprising to learn that the greatest influences on Jackie Chan weren't other martial arts experts but rather the shining stars of silent cinema. Go to Full Review

Jimmy P 01/20/2023 This is one of Jackie Chan's best films. See more Matthew B 12/19/2022 Best of Movies/TV Series Collection See more carlos t 11/01/2022 Minha opinião: Esta época fazia um filme menos de 1 mês e já começava outro. Aproveitava as mesmas pessoas, roupas e estilos. Só neste ano Jackie fez mais de 5 filmes e foi também neste ano que ele fez o melhor filme desta faze de sua carreira. Que foi "Drunke Master" depois deste filme ele mudou de patamar. Mas antes deste filme este filme foi feito antes no mesmo ano. Tanto que os atores são os mesmos. Porém aqui não foi um sucesso. Mas serviu de base para Drunke Master. Aqui temos Yuen e Hwang. O roteiro é o mesmo. Ele pertence a uma escola, porem la ele é um ajudante e sempre sendo humilhado. Até que ele conhece Yuen um mestre e ensina a ele uma novo estilo. E o treina com muita severidade. E assim ele se torna forte. Mas o grande inimigo que estava querendo eliminar um estilo. Até que ele entra em confronto com Jackie. Roteiro: Simplorio Vale apena assistir? Para quem curte este estilo. Nota: 4 See more 03/25/2020 One of my favorites. See more 12/16/2017 This is a must watch for all Jackie Chan fans worldwide! This movie showcases his versatility and it was this movie that brought him to the world. Lay back and enjoy this hilarious classic as Jackie Chan does it like no other. See more 09/25/2016 In terms of comedy it's a pretty inauspicious start for Chan (bwoing!) but the fights are super fun to watch and the absurd, nonsensical plot keeps things moving at an entertaining pace. The ending is hilariously, refreshingly abrupt. See more Read all reviews
