The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This was a terrible injustice on the director, Lo Wei's part. Jackie quit working for Lo Wei early on in this film. So, what does Lo Wei do? He edited clips and out takes with Jackie in them from the first movie and put an actor with no face, "meaning you never see his face," to complete the ending fight sequence and he then spliced a new movie together. There are only a few early scenes in which Jackie appears that are not cut from the first movie. Jackie tried to sue Lo Wei for releasing such a horrible piece trash with his name on it. However,to my understanding there was a deal cut that would release Jackie from Lo Wei, unfortunately part of the deal was that he would receive all rights to the movies that Jackie made for him. On the up side, there is a great shot of Jackie's butt as he jumps out of the pond while trying to catch a fish!

I only saw this for my idol Jackie Chan. But even before I decided to rent it I knew it wasn't going to be very good since Jackie plays a villain. The first thing any viewer would notice is that the cover is very misleading. According to the cover Jackie is star of this movie, even though all he has is a supporting role. In every scene, I found myself trying to catch glimpses of Jackie, but of course he was only a supporting actor. Now keep in mind, I've seen many of Jackie's movies including some of the oldest ones. But even with that impartial opinion the fighting just wasn't very good either. It could stem from the fact that Director Lo Wei just wouldn't let go of the past. He was the man who directed the classic martial arts film 'Enter the Dragon' starring the legendary Bruce Lee. In a way, this was just another attempt to make Jackie into another Bruce Lee clone. He was even given the name 'Sing Lung' (already a dragon) for his movies with Lo Wei productions.Another problem with this movie is the big mole Jackie had to wear on his face. I've read his book 'Jackie Chan: My life in Action' and he never mentions what the decision for that was. This could make viewers uncomfortable or something of that sort whenever they see him. I know I couldn't ignore it.By the end I really wouldn't be able to recommend to anyone. Unless you're like me since I'm starting a Jackie Chan movie collection. And this would be a very important part of it since this was Jackie's last unfinished film with Lo Wei Productions and was released only after Jackie became a big time star in Asia under another production company. This made Director Lo Wei, who had hit some very hard times by then, finish the movie using a look-a-like and stock footage of others movies that could be used. If you'd really like to see it, I would say rent it first then decide what you'd like to do.Final Score: 3/10

The second movie compared to the first, is not as good as the first, even though Jackie is good and they try to devise new tricks, eg, Jackie defeats a guy with a pair of slippers, and there is a hilarious shirt tugging twisting scene.However, the movie still falls a little flat.Martial rating 6 out of 10Overall Rating 4 out of 10

This was a somewhat disappointing companion to the original Fearless Hyena made in 1979. There are too many plot lines that finally come together at the end in the movie's only martial arts action. I must say that this half hour scene almost makes up for the rest of the movie, but I find myself demanding more of Jackie Chan. The same characters from the first movie are back, but in a totally unrelated story and in different roles. This is still a good enough movie, but given the quality of its namesake I expected a little more out of it.
