a good film with the young Jackie chan before he was none
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Incredibly bad film! I bought it because I love Jackie Chan films, but this must be practically his first and we were halfway through before realizing which character he was playing. This was not only because he was so very young, but because the storyline on the dvd case states he is leading the anti-Japanese rebels when in fact he has only a small part. They have also used a much later picture of him on the front of the dvd case. The martial arts parts were acted very carefully so that at times you thought they were in slow motion, they were taking such care not to hit each other. It was almost laughable that the intrusive "kerpow" noises the soundtrack made everytime they threw a punch (often visibly unconnecting) were rarely in sync with the action. While it is difficult to dub lines spoken in a very different language, this was carelessly done in comparison to any other I have seen, and very unconvincing. It was like watching movietone news with the bad focus and smudges on the very old film, and the sound was tinny. This is pardonable in view of the extreme age of the film, which was perhaps made more to tell a patriotic story than for reasons of aesthetics, but there was nothing, such as a thrilling storyline, to compensate for it. The film was very cheap, and interesting as being a very early example of the Chinese martial arts genre in film, perhaps: but I feel that only a Jackie Chan fan who wishes to collect every film he ever made would be interested in this.Read full review
It was ok if your a jackie chan fan i,ve seen better from him. Reason for buying is because i,m after a certain j.chan film one i saw back in the 80,s not sure of title but when i see it i,ll know it. So having to buy one by one and till i find it. As for this one considering it,s suppose to be a j.chan film you don,t in my opinion see much fighting from him at least not what were use to seeing.
