Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Fella_shibby Saw this first on a VHS in mid 80s. Lots of fighting, done in a comical way. If you like old school Kung Fu movies, seek this one out; and if you are a fan of Jackie Chan, seek this one out. In this movie Jackie learns the snake fist style, and combines it with the cat claw. It is one of the biggest classics of martial arts cinema, the film that started a new subgenre in kung fu cinema , the comedy kung fu cinema and the breakthrough film for its star, the legendary Jackie Chan.Its directed by Woo-Ping Yuen (real son of Yuen siu-tien aka beggar So). Woo-Ping Yuen is the one behind Man of tai chi, kill Bill 2, kung fu hustle,Forbidden kingdom, iron monkey, matrix series, crouching tiger....The fights are stunningly choreographed even if one can often see that a blow doesn't actually hit when we hear it... the sounds that accompany the fights are funny because they are so over the top. Jackie is taught the snake style from the teacher, beggar So. Then by chance he learns a new style by watching a cat defeat a snake. Beggar So's sequence with the bowl and Chan is incredible.

leonblackwood Review: This is another classic movie from Jackie Chan, when he was in his prime. It does take a bit of time to get going, but once it does, it's full of action and many different styles of Kung Fu. Jackie Chan plays Chien Fu, who helps out in a Kung Fu school and constantly gets picked on by the manager who uses him as a human punching bag for his students. Chien then comes across a homeless old man, played by Siu Tin Yuen and he decides to take him in and look after him. While there friendship blossoms, a group of Eagle technique fighters are out to destroy all of the Snake fighters so Grandmaster Pai Cheng-Tien (Siu Tin Yuen) has to go in hiding to save his life. Whilst living with Chien, he starts to teach him the Snake style, which Chien mixes up with his own cat style and he soon gets fed up with his manager picking on him by striking back on the people that use him as a human punching bag. He soon gets banished from the school and he perfects his own Kung Fu style but his training with Grandmaster Pai is cut short because the Eagle style fighters have tracked him down. Whilst fighting against the Eagle clan, Grandmaster Pai's life is saved by Chien who takes on the leaders of the Eagle clan. This is when I first saw Sam Seed (Siu Tin Yuen) in a movie and I was amazed how an old man could take on all of the young masters of Kung Fu. This was also the second time that I saw Jackie Chan on top form, after Drunken Master of course, and the different styles of Kung Fu styles became popular in this genre. The mixture of comedy and action was spot on in this film and the different characters, like the manager of the Kung Fu school with the weird plaster on his head, made the film an all time classic. I personally enjoyed this film, after so many years since I last watched it and it brought back some fond memories of when I was young in front of the piano style video player. Its such a shame that they don't make movies like this anymore! Brilliant.Round-Up: This movie was directed by Woo Ping-Yuen who brought you classics like Drunken Master, Magnificent Butcher, the Miracle Fighters, Drunken Tai Chi, Iron Monkey, Tai-Chi Master and True Legend. He also done the stunts for Man of Tai Chi with Keanu Reeves, Kill Bill 2, the brilliant Kung Fu Hustle and the Forbidden Kingdom with Jackie Chan and Jet Li so he has definitely earned respect in this field. Anyway, this is a must have in your Kung Fu collection and it's timeless fun for you action buffs.I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/comedy/martial arts movies starring Jackie Chan and the great Siu Tin Yuen (Sam Seed). 8/10

riki85558 for me this is Jackie second best film behind drunken master 2 and in front of drunken master why because the movie fight scenes, training scene and music especially jean Michel jarre's ogygen part 2 and magic fly by space. Jackie chan character is lovable, a orphan who is bullied and used as a punch bag by his martial art school trainers. even the villains are likable. why I have chosen this movie to be better than drunken master 1 is because of Jackie character who is more likable than the one in drunken master 1 who is a hooligan and enjoys picking on people. Also because of the story is more likable as well, the script is good, the movie is well shot especially the camera angles and filming location. overall for a martial arts fan I would have to give it a 10 out of 10, brilliant film

marlborodeldesierto this is the best Jackie Chan movie, and probably the best kung fu action registered ever in film. a kung fu movie is simple, and this director knew it, because he never tries to out shine Jackie, fights where you see the character evolve in his skills, a couple of scenes where he plays with some elements such as a saucer or a rag, and fights where the only answer to what you see is that the action happens a bit faster then it was recorded, because there's no human way to do those choreographs without someone getting killed. a sword fight and some history about the kung fu techniques based upon animals. if you are looking for a good history, i don't know, this one is not the greatest but it wont bore you. lets not forget about an old man who steals the movie. the only problem about this movie is that after you see it you'll start to feel this voice that tells you "go practice kungfu", be careful, it's not as easy as Jackie shows it.
