Summary: THE KUNG FU-TEERS LAST MOVIE!!!
Review: This is a very good movie with wonderful performances all around. Jackie Chan plays a sleazy lawyer, Sammo Hung an arms dealer, and Yuen Biao as a psychotic handyman. My only complaints for this movie is the music, when Sammo gets hit in the head with a wrench and Yuen Wah's character being underused. He is an equally talented martial artist/acrobat but the rematch from Wheels on Meals with Chan and Benny the Jet more than makes up for it. (See Eastern Condors or Heart of Dragon for the talents of Yuen Wah). Yuen Biao is great as usual as an actor, acrobat and fighter and Hung's skills are used well but his direction is very good. Jackie really is better than the two as is shown in this movie (especially the fight onboard the ship). The fights between Biao, Hung and Chan is a rare classic. This movie will thrill you and make you laugh as Biao, Hung, and Chan walk off in style. This movie should definitely be bought!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A kung fu classic.
Review: Another spectacular movie from the three opera brothers (Jackie Chan, Samo Hung, Yuen Biao) who brought us Wheels on Meals and Project A. Once again brilliant fight scenes and the only movie with the three brothers fighting each other. The last movie they have all co-stared in to date. Brilliant.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best of three kung fu brothers
Review: I have watched most of these three brothers' movies, this is for sure on of the best. The fights are as fast as naturally possible- especially the last fight with the antagonist in the factory. I have noticed that Jackie is using his right hand and foot most of the time while fighting, but in this movie he does an amazingly fast tornado kick with his left foot - you have to see it over and over. There is a lot I want to say about this movei, but all I can say is that this movie is so cute that makes you watch it over and over. I wish that these three brothers made more movies of this kind.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: all I can say about this film is...WOW!
Review: I have seen a lot of Jackie Chan movies and own a lot also. I never saw this one until I bought it a week ago. No rental place had this movie, GRRR. I heard it was great and so I waited for the DVD version and I bought it, and WOW! this is my favorite Jackie Chan movie now. Its funny and has lots of fights. And not just any fights, but some of the best fight scenes in any JC movie. The boat scene is awesome and the finale is SPECTACULAR. I loved Yuen Biao at the end of the movie, this is the best fighting I have ever seen him do. Also Jackie has a rematch with Benny "The Jet" from Wheels on Meals and this fight is just as good as the first one. If you havent seen Wheels on Meals then go rent it and watch the last fight with Jackie and Benny, one word describes that fight, AWESOME. The only thing I didnt like about the movie was how the boss of the bad guys was puffing away on his cigar, he looked really stupid doing it so much, but that is a tiny little teeny tiny problem. If your gonna buy a Jackie Chan movie, buy this, you will love it.

The DVD version I have is just like the Young Master version if you happen to have that. It is subtitled in like 10 different languages, readable thank god. It even has a filmography that gives a list of all the movies Jackie, Sammo, and Yuen have been a part of. And it has their biographies, brief but enough so you know where they came from and how they got here, etc. The sound is good and picture quality is pretty good also. But hey, JUST BUY IT cause you cant hate this movie, its impossible!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Bittersweet parting of Ways
Review: This movie, sadly, was the final movie that Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, and Sammo Hung made together before each going his own separate way. But, the action in this movie is awesome. Besides this being the only movie where you get to see the Opera brothers fight, Chan rematches with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez(Whose sporting an odd and disturbing makeup job). And hey, Yuen Wah is back, this time playing a sleazy industrialist. Wah was also trained in the Opera alongside Chan, Hung, and Biao. He was the stunt double for Bruce Lee in "The Chinese Connection" He was the one that did the aerial somersaults. My only complaints were the video game music and the underuse of Wah's martial abilities. I could have done without the romance, but it was a necessary plot device. All in all, an excellent film. Here's hoping for a reunion in the future.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cheesy at times, but worth it simply for the action!
Review: This was the last installment of the "Peking Opera brothers" series starring Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, and Jackie Chan. Chan plays a playboy lawyer who woos every girl he sees; Hung is his clumsy, rotund friend; and Biao, a deranged handyman. The movie has the feel of a 1970's Chinese soap opera (the music is AWFUL), but it's quite funny at times. Chan's off-beat humor is cute, and the antics of Hung and Biao are "stupid silly" but provide a good laugh. The fighting scenes, however, are worth the money. I was surprised at the unnecessary footage of raw violence, but they give you the viewer a good feel of how incredible the stunts really are. The acrobatics will blow you away, and the final fight with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez is one you'll never forget. This is the only movie you can buy that has Biao, Hung, and Chan fighting each other. Props to Hung's stunt choreography.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sammo, Jackie and Yuen!!
Review: Three of the best martial arts film stars ever can be found right here. The result is pure magic. Great action scenes and comical moments you've come to expect. This is a must-have for any fan of the three.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Comedy-Kungfu
Review: Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung put on a great show as they kick butts (including their own at times) and make us laugh with their three stooges antics. That sceene with Sammo trying to win the girl's affection had me rolling. Although an older movie this definately should be in your Jackie Chan/Sammo Hung collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Three Brothers in Action
Review: This is a must see for fans of the Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, and Samo Hung brother movies. It is their last film starring together and the action is great. They have a chemistry which only comes from a long association - growing up together certainly qualifies. Not only do they fight the bad guys, but they fight each other! (And Jackie does not come off as the lilly-white hero he usually portrays!)

I didn't like it as much as Wheels on Meals, but for a fan of the dynamic brothers, its a definte must see! (P.S. Benny the Jet gets another chance at Jackie)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cheesy, but cool
Review: Yuen Bao, Sammo Hung, and Jackie Chan are like the 3 Stooges of Martial arts. Only difference is the Stooges could only poke and slap each other, these three martial artists kick bootie! They are hilarious together and I really wish they made more movies together. Fight sequences are top notch and very well coreographed. The story is actually pretty good, and contains genuinely funny and humorous stuff. The only drawback is that some parts seem a little long--maybe because of subtitle problems. The subtitling is kind of off with many typos and the like. Also conjunctions that don't make sense like "I've to go now." etc. I thought it made things funnier, actually, but I would really like to see the movie with subtitles that made more sense sometimes. (IMO) In the end, though, I regard this as one of my favorite movies. When I show guests the flick, I fast forward through some parts. Great fight sequences between the Opera brothers. Love it.
