Rating: Summary: The 5-style fist is incredible, not to mention hilarious. Review: Although the humor in this is mostly "potty humor", the animal styles of Snake, Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, and Crane, more than make up for it. The fighting is great, and so is the plot. Buy if you are a fan of early Jackie.
Rating: Summary: Great Jackie Chan Film Review: I like the movie despite its mediocre acting and fight scenes. "Spiritual Kung Fu" does have its moments (not that many of them though). I doubt most people would like this film, and I would only recommend it to the most die hard Jackie Chan fans.

Rating: Summary: Good start Review: I said what the heck and rented this movie because I like kung fu movies. well This movie had a good story line like most old school kung fu movies. And great fight scenes. Also I like that jackie chan emphasized less comedy in this movie and foucuses on kung fu unlike now. The only draw back is that its old, poor quality , and the special effects are ridiculous or it would have gotten 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: Only if you LOVE Jackie Chan Review: I wouldn't recommend this movie much unless you are a hard core Jackie devotee. There are some really good fight scenes, but the story is so incredibly DUMB that it can be hard to sit through at times. This one's definitely worth renting, though. I would rank it somewhere between Fearless Hyena (which I hated) and Snake in Eagle's Shadow (which I thought was pretty good).
Rating: Summary: Ruined by a Terrible Transfer Review: I'm a huge Jackie fan, but this movie was insufferable. I don't mind the weak story; I'm here for the fighting. But the problem is that this transfer was incompetantly done. The movie crops most of the fight scenes, and the inexplicable camera work is hightened by the miserable panning. The colors are washed-out, the audio is terrible, and the source film is badly blemished and scratched.If, someday, there is a retouched, remastered release, I'll covet it for my collection. Meanwhile, don't waste your time on this one.
Rating: Summary: This is classic kung-fu! Review: I've seen this movie on VHS, and I will soon buy the DVD, beacause it ROCKS! Jackie plays a misbehaver at a kung-fu shool, always tormented by teachers. With the help of the five freaky ghosts, he learns incredible kung-fu, needed to destroy a theif who stole the school's most precious book. The comedy stuff is really corny, but thats what makes it so funny. The fighting is really good. Check this movie out, it's a kung-fu classic (and it's cheap!).
Rating: Summary: laughably bad Review: If there is anyone out there who hasn't seen this movie and wants to, be warned: Spiritual Kung Fu is NOT a flick that should be taken seriously. If however, you are one who likes DUMB humor as one reviwer put it, then you may actually enjoy this. As for me, I have seen some good Jackie Chan action comedies (Rush Hour, Mr. Nice Guy) but this one tops the charts on the level of pathetic.
Rating: Summary: Great Jackie Chan Film Review: If you really like old school Jackie Chan this is a great one. I first saw it with a bunch of friends and we were laughing about it for weeks.
Rating: Summary: A very good early Jackie Chan movie, funny and wierd. Review: Jackie plays a goof-off student at the Shaolin Temple. After the theft of a precious book, ghosts appear in the Temple Library. He becomes their student, and then helps solve the theft, and also the mysterious death of a visitor to the temple. Jackie is very young and charming in this film, and there is lots of classic Kung Fu and comedy for his fans.
