Young Master

Rating:
Summary: early j. chan
Review: It's almost funny. Jackie Chan in the late 1970's, early '80s. No stunts that mark his later career, this all about straight fighting at slow pace, one in which you notice the plotting and plans. The villian here almost seems to outshine Chan in terms of fighting and martial arts. Still, you see Chan's Buster Keaton-like humor develop here. It doesn't matter how bad the dubbing is, as Chan's physical mannerisms are still a joy to watch, even if it's no where near the calibre of Drunken Master 2 or Mr. Nice Guy. If you buy this, you get a little bit of martial art's history. . .namely, seeing one of Jackie Chan's low-budget steps towards becoming a screen hero.

Granted, some of this [is not so good], but it is fun to watch a master in the early stages of his career.

Summary: JACKIE CHAN IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS
Review: THIS IS THE MOVIE THAT REALLY SHOWCASES JACKIE CHAN'S INCREDIBLE MARTIAL ARTS SKILLS. IN THIS ONE, A MAN NAMED TIGER GETS INJURED AND DRAGON [JACKIE CHAN], HIS BROTHER, IS CHOSEN TO REPLACE HIM FOR THE LION DANCE COMPETITION. HOWEVER, DRAGON DISCOVERS THAT HIS BROTHER TIGER IS THE RIVAL LION DANCER IN THE COMPETITION. SOON, TIGER CONFESSES EVERYTHING TO THE MASTER, AND WHEN HE THROWS HIM OUT, DRAGON GOES TO SEARCH FOR HIS BROTHER. VERY EXCITING, AND IT'S ALSO FUNNY. ANY FAN OF JACKIE CHAN SHOULD LOVE THIS MOVIE. THE LAST FIGHT OF THE FILM IS VERY FUN TO WATCH AND IT SHOWS JUST HOW GOOD JACKIE CHAN ALWAYS WAS. A MUST FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES JACKIE CHAN.
