Summary: Jackie Chan as a Villain!
Review: "The Killer Meteors" provides further evidence that producer/director/hack Lo Wei had no clue as to Jackie's real potential. Lo Wei built several "Bruce-Lee-alikes" around Chan in the early '70s. Despite the fact that the "chop-socky" had ran its course, Lo Wei blamed the lackluster commercial performance of these movies on Chan. One result of this problem was "The Killer Meteors," an early Chan film, featuring him as the villain! Chan delivers a spectacular performance, as always. Unfortunately, he only appears in the last third of the movie. Also, Chan as a villain becomes somewhat difficult to swallow, considering his lovable, down-to-earth personality depicted in the vast majority of his films. Overall, one of Lo Wei's better films, but it suffers from too little Chan.

Summary: killer meteors a time killer
Review: Okay hear is the deal, this movie was not a Jackie Chan movie, he was barely in it and when he was he sucked, the action overall was really poor unless Jackie was fighting and even then it was not that spectacular. even bareing in mind that this was never intended to be a jakie chan type movie and is more of a supernatural powers, Chinese folklore movie I still thought it was kind of a waste of time and money, and i got it for under ten dollars, if you want to see it once, well it's your time.

Summary: Don't listen to the Jacky fans.
Review: Quite simply, this is not a Jacky Chan movie. Don't buy this expecting to see Drunken Master style farce. Jacky is evil. Really evil. In fact, he's a total loser. Hence the scores of negative reviews from people unwilling to watch any old Hong Kong flicks that do not involve Jacky's whacky acrobatics. The star of this movie is JIMMY WANG YU. Wang Yu is more of a Clint Eastwood type. He rips one liners and literally wrecks people. There are no fart jokes and no peeing, just well paced action and likeable heroes. For the price, it's a capable transfer of an aged movie.

Summary: Cool Flic \ Not so cool DVD
Review: The movie itself is a hoot! Lots of silly kung fu action complete with cheesy lines. I loved it. The DVD itself is very lacking in features (as are most in this Jackie Chan Series), but the low cost and way cool kung fu silliness make it hard to pass up.

Summary: Cropped and choice of Chinese or English dubbed no subtitles
Review: This looks like it could be a fun movie. It has Jackie as a rich master who tricks a warrior with magical powers into fighting his evil wife and her 4 magical bodyguards.Unfortunately the presentation totally ruins the movie. The opening credits are presented in the correct 2.35 aspect ratio, but immediately afterwards, the picture reverts to a panned and scanned image that ruins the fight scenes, which are the only reason to buy the disc to begin with. On top of that, unless you're a Chinese speaker, you have to settle for an English dubbed version with no subtitles or closed captioning. Considering the capabilities DVD possess for including multiple sets of subtitles and languages, this is most disappointing. END
