      Rudie Obias Battleship Pretension Chan definitely leans into the comedy, as he also shows why he’s such a screen presence. Dec 2, 2023 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Spiritual Kung Fu, is by no means a good film. At the same time, however, the buffoonery, the silliness and the action sequences, definitely make it worthy of the title of cult. Rated: 7/10 Feb 27, 2022 Full Review Nathanael Hood Unseen Films [The film's main issue] is the slapdash execution. Rated: 5/10 May 14, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Jimmy P This is the first time that Chan was allowed to make a comedy and it almost works. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Um filme que já assisti várias vezes. Eu gosto de assistir a #JackieChan sou #fã desde minha infância, antes mesmo que o brasileiro o conhece. O Imitei por várias vezes seu estilo desde que apaxonei pelo #drunkenmaster Este filme é da época que os chineses faziam um filme atrás do outro. Assim que terminava um, já começava o outro. Aqui #JackieChan foi descobrindo o seu lado #cômico para fazer filme. Com sua graça também em suas lutas cheio de acrobacias, criando seu estilo icônico. Aqui Jackie vive no templo depois de um terremoto ele descobre um livro que ensina uma nova arte de #kungfu mas dentro dele vivem 5 fantasmas que cada um representa um estilo de luta de uma animal. Assim Jackie aprende o estilo de cada. Mas existem os inimigos que querem o trono do templo. Até o momento que Jackie tem que honrar os mestres. Mas o final guarda um grande segredo. Qual será ele? Um filme gostoso de assistir e conhecer os 1º filmes de Jackie. Roteiro: legal Vale apena assistir? Sim pura nostalgia. Nota: 7 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review camille l Si Wei Lo savait comment y faire avec Bruce Lee, il n'a jamais vraiment trouvé comment utiliser Jackie Chan. Il n'a jamais réussi à gérer le côté comique troupier et artiste martial dans la même mesure. Cette fois-ci, avec Spiritual Kung-Fu, Wei Lo décide de faire une comédie grossière, où l'on peut voir Jackie Chan uriner sur des fantômes qui volent un bouquin ultra important. Cependant, au lieu de durer 1h15, cela dure quasiment 2h et on se prend à regretter quand le même Chan était un voyeur puceau dans les films de cul de la Shaw Brothers, qui étaient beaucoup plus dignes. Interminable mais avec quelques combats sympathiques (merci Yuen Biao), Spiritual Kung-Fu ne vaut pas grand chose. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Jackie Chan (Credited As Jacky Chan), Made This While On Contract With Lo Wei In 1978. Spiritual Kung Fu Is A Martial Arts Comedy. A Troublesome Student (Chan) Is Visited By Ghosts Who Teach Him How To Become A Martial Artist. This May Be A Terrible Film But Gives Viewers A Chance To See Chan In His Formative Years. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Yi-Lang (Jackie Chan) needs a manual which has been stolen from his temple in order to combat the 7 Fists'. In the wrong hands this knowledge could spell disaster so it's up to Jackie to track down the traitor and counter the deadly fight moves that the book has endowed upon the thief. also stars Chih-ping Chiang, Hsiu-yi Fang, Hong Hsu, Kuang Kao, Ching Fu Li, Hai Lung Li, Tung Chun Li and Wen Tai Li. directed by Lo Wei. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Not one of Jackie Chan's best if compared to Snake in the Eagles Shadow or Drunken Master but still has some good Kung Fu and plenty of silly fun. Jackie Chan is like the Asian version of Charlie Chaplin and his style is unique, which is why he is loved and known around the world. Many people might only know his stuff that was made in Hollywood but it's films like these that show you how good of an athlete he is/was and how hard working he is when it comes to his career.
