Summary: Humoring with good fight scenes
Review: Sure, the panning and the transfer of this movie may not of been so great, but I enjoyed the movie anyway. I certainly don't get these movies for Hollywood style or quality. The 5 clown like ghost threw me off, since I would not of expected to see that in a Kung Fu movie. I liked some of the close ups as it allows you to see how to do the strike better. The Five Animal Style is classic Shao-Lin and this movie gives you a good idea of how it looks and how to execute it. Corny, yet funny, I give this move 3 stars. And learning Shao-Lin Kung Fu myself, I find Spiritual Kung Fu educational.

Summary: Spiritual Kung Fu (1978)
Review: This film is very vulgar. A meteor crashes to Earth, releasing 5 spirits who teach Jackie Spiritual Kung Fu also known as Five Fists Style. Jackie uses these otherworldly techniques to retrieve a stolen kung fu manual for the Seven Fists Style.

Summary: TRUE CLASSIC~!!!
Review: This is one of my most memorable Jackie Chan movie which I saw it for the very first time when I was 12 years old, it was 1980 in Japan. Jackie Chan popularity was booming back then, and he made many TV show appearance in Japan. Now almost 25 years later in my life, I finally get to see this film again, here in the USA. The movie was better when I saw it as a child in the past. I suppose I have been spoiled by big money making movie productions such as by Hollywood. I wanted more, and better quality in sound and picture. I wanted it to be a wide screen. I wanted this and that comparing to American movies. But after all, this is a "Classic Chinese movie with a low budget film." The MAGIC of this movie is not so much in quality, but in ACTION, and UNDERSTANDING of culture, APPRECIATION of the art, and the one must have a good sense of IMAGINATION skill. LOT OF Kung-Fu movies require such senses to fully appreciate the movie. After all it is a movie. The movie such as TUXEDO, or THE ONE by Jet Li are so ruined by putting too much money into it in the production, becoming very much like Hollywood movies. Fake, and superficial. Sad to see. This movie will always remain as one of my Jackie Chan's prime time BEST classics.

Summary: VERY "CUTE" EARLY JACKIE CHAN MOVIE.
Review: THIS IS ONE OF THE EARLY JACKIE CHAN FILMS THAT WAS MADE BEFORE HE HIT IT BIG. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW THAT WERE RELEASED AFTER HE HIT IT BIG, AND THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE BETTER CHOERGRAPHED FIGHT SCENES AND SHOWS THE BEGINING OF JACKIE'S COMEDY. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT TO SOME ONE NEW TO MARTIAL ARTS GENRE, IT HAS A VERY CUTE PLOT AND SOME FAST ACTION FIGHT SCENES. THE ONLY PROLEM IS THE TRANSFER TO DVD WAS VERY POOR. THERE IS NO WIDE SCREEN AND THE PAN AND SCAN SEEMED LIKE IT WAS DONE IN ZOOM. I HAD THE VIDEO FOR YEARS AND IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE BEFORE, YOU WON'T EVEN KNOW WHATS GOING ON IN SOME FIGHT SCENES. THEY ARE ZOOMED IN SO CLOSE, THAT SOMETIMES IT LOOKS LIKE A PERSON IS FIGHTING BY THEMSELVES.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spiritual kung Fu kicks ass!
Review: This movie showcases the finest points of Jackie Chan's ... kicking, almost ninjistic abilities. For the first half hour, you WILL be confused and wondering what the hell those ghosts are supposed to be. But from tehn on, the martial artistry and action packed kung fu never ends! The styles of the snake, dragon, tiger, crane and leopard combine to form an awesome fighting force capable of an obscene degree of ... whooping destruction. This movie is the coolest thing ever... so cool I want to head butt my dog so hard that we both pass out, and then kick my mom right in the face! Watch it NOW!
