Rating: Summary: Where is Jackie? Review: Recently I watched 36 Crazy Fists and Drunken Boxing Fist but the question is where is Jackie Chan in these movies? What a publicity stunt, they put his name and pictures on the movie but he isnt even these movies. Dont watch these movies it is a disappointment. Go watch Fist of Legend it is the best. Also I am looking for the Sequel to Drunken Master, where can I find that movie?
Rating: Summary: Buyer Beware Review: This is NOT a Jackie Chan movie! Well, ok, he did work on it, but only as the stunt coordinator. The producers put together a "making of" documentary, then later unscrupulously edited in behind-the-scenes footage of Jackie. Why? For money, of course. The original didn't do well; the re-edited version was marketed as a Jackie Chan movie. According to Jackie, he was furious about it, but there was little he could do at the time.

Rating: Summary: NOT A JC FLICK!! Review: This is not a JC Flick. If we are talking about standards of Jackie Chan actually starring in the movie that is. He was the director of the movie that is for sure but he does not play any cameo whatsoever in this movie. I was dissapointed when realizing this. My fault was not reading any reviews whatsoever and any reviews that I did read did not fortell this information. Well their ya go there is no Jackie Chan in this movie whatsoever. The fighting scenes are beautiful and are demonstrated fantastically but the movie lacks in storyline (Much like any other Jackie Chan movie). I suggest several other movies consisting on what you are looking for. This movie is certainly a action orianted movie set out to feed the action hungry flick goer. If you enjoy a good action flick with a nice story line check Accidental Spy also by Jackie Chan. Another with a more Dramatic touch to it is the Drunken Master Saga including several great martial artists Saga includes>>
Ledgend of Drunken Master--Return of the Drunken Master
Names of movies change due to language barrier and marketing excuses. --India name is--Drunken Monkey in Tiger Eye--
Taiwan--Drunken Monkey Fist--
Keep a look out for the movies and read the reviews. Many have different tnames then what you really read them for. Just be careful. Nevertheless I would recommend this film if you are looking for a good Action flick..not a Jackie Chan action movie!
Rating: Summary: Excelent Martial Arts demonstration film Review: This movie came with a pack of other movies in a boxset called Return Of the Warriors. The quailty of the video is crap, but what do you expect from a box-set that includes 20 classic martial arts movies ( did i mention that it is dub only) for only 26 bucks. 36 crazy fists is just another variations of Jacky Chan's Movies, such as Drunken Master ( Noter: Legend of the Drunken Master is english re-release of Drunken Master II), and Snake in Eagle's Shadow (These two movies also have a similar old drunken man that that teaches kung-fu to a pathetic newbie). It just that Jacky Chan is not acting, but the fight choreographer (This is obivious if you watched the movies I mentioned earlier.) Any kung-fu buff will love 36 crazy fist's martial arts action. Each move is done flawlessly and without losing a beat ( you will never see pure martial arts technique's like these in Jackie's new movies.) The storyline is a backdrop for what the show really is; a martial arts flick, and does not take it's self seriously which make for a lot of good humor. However the dub is horrendous, as a lot of martial arts dubs are. The dub makes the part's where there is no fighting a chore to watch. But the most dissapointing aspect is that it was chopped down to only the actual fights it self. All but a small few of the training sessions made it to the final cut. The training portions of Drunken Master and Snake in Eagle's Shadow where fun to watch and gave more depth to the fights because you see Jacky use the weird techniques learned in training in a actual fight. Bottom line: Great kung-fu movie, but watch it subbed for a better veiwing experience.

Rating: Summary: IT'S A TRICK! JACKIE CHAN IS NOT IN THIS MOVIE! Review: THIS MOVIE IS A SERIOUS LETDOWN. IN ORDER TO AVENGE HIS FATHER'S MURDER, A YOUNG MAN LEARNS MARTIAL ARTS. EXTREMELY CORNY AND BAD. JACKIE MAY HAVE DIRECTED THIS TRASH AND HE EVEN WAS THE MARTIAL ARTS DIRECTOR, BUT HE'S NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IN THIS FILM, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HIS PICTURE IS ON THE COVER! THE FINAL FIGHT IS OK, BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE THIS BULLSH-T. IF YOU WANT TO SEE A REAL JACKIE CHAN MOVIE FROM THE EARLIER DAYS OF HIS CAREER, RENT OR BUY ''THE YOUNG MASTER'' OR ''POLICE STORY''.
Rating: Summary: where the heck is jackie? Review: WARNING! Jackie is not in this movie so dont be tricked.
