Master With Cracked Fingers

Rating:
Summary: Only little Jackie here.
Review: This film features only little Jackie, instead they used a double to complete some scenes including the final fight. You can see when the double is playing because you see him training in a dimly lit shack and in the final fight the fighters use blindfolds to cover their faces so you won't see it aint Jackie! AKA Master With Cracked Fingers.

Summary: Early 1970's Chan flop had its moments!
Review: This film marked Jackie Chan's first lead role in the world of the Hong Kong film industry. This film had a classic plot of vengence and Kung Fu training much similar to the Shaw Brothers era films of the 60's and 70's. The film was a low budget, slipshod, chop socky Kung Fu flick which plots Chan as a waitor at his Uncle's resturant. It follows Jackie from his childhood of eagerness towards Kung Fu where he learns from a dirty old beggar (Classic master from 100's of Kung Fu flicks throughout the 70's) and learns the Snake Fist style as well as the mystical art of blind fighting. After learning from the old man and fighting the local triad mobs that are torturing his Uncle he exacts revenge on his fathers killer. However, Jackie did not finish filming this film and in 1978 a shifty producer used a Jackie Chan look alike to continue the filming. The film even uses scenes from Drunken Master and has Jackie blindfolded at the end in order not to show that a look alike was used. This film does have its moments though and if your a Chan fan like myself, you'll definitely want to pick this one up for your collection!!!

Summary: Fair movie...
Review: This is a fair movie, nowhere near Jackie's greatest or funniest, but can be a little humorous at times, like the part where the master FARTS right into the other dudes face...oww...that must stink! I rate this movie 3 stars.

Summary: Not one of his best.
Review: This is not one of Jackie Chan's best, but if you are a fan, this is definetly worth the money. A lot of typical Jackie action and some really good fight scenes. All in all, not a total waste of money.

Summary: a funny movie
Review: This is one of Jackie Chans early roles. It is a silly movie, mixed with a little drama, but it will keep you chuckling most of the time. I gave it three stars because though I enjoyed it, I don't want you to believe it ranks up there with Chan's more recent movies. If you like Jackie's brand of kung-fu comedy you'll like this.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: This is the best martial arts film I have ever seen. It starts off well with Young Jackie getting taught by an old man (who seems a bit too much like a paedophile to start with). Jackie gets a bit good at kick, punch, chop (!) although he keeps it a secret from his pacifist father. The old man gets funnier and funnier as the film goes on as he rustles through bushes and pulls off hilariously bad oneliners. He is almost smiling throughout the entire film and the bit where he and Jackie go and pay the rent is priceless. As a film to watch on your own this is probably not great but invite a few mates around and you can really have a good laugh taking the peas out of this one. Highly recommended for fans of the 'So bad it's good' genre.

Summary: I love it, but I just like looking at Jackie
Review: this movie is also called Little Tiger from Canton, Directed by the infamous Lo Wei. This movie was shot before Jackie's eye opening operation, and he looks really cool! If you're looking for beautiful martial arts, this is not the movie to get. See Drunken Master for that. If you're a die hard Fan, this is definatly worth your while.

Summary: A great 70's Kung Fu flick...
Review: This movie, Jackies first starring role, is full of action and stupid, non-intentional jokes that make it memorable. Everything from the pedophile old master to the epiphony at the end of the final fight makes you want to add this video to your collection. Well worth my five bucks...

Summary: Weird Jackie Chan 'fu flick
Review: This, Jackie's first starring role, definately didn't make him into a kung fu star like he had hoped. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because, of course, it has Jackie Chan in it and because of some weird demented humor. I have to warn you that the fight scenes are pretty bad. If you want to see a 70's JC kung fu flick, get Drunken Master or Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.

Summary: The Best Version Of This Film
Review: Thist is probably the best version of this film (included Japan version from Pioneer - that is the version around it acts here).
The picture is according to my opinion very good and the dub (From the Original Language) is one of the best that I ever heard.
Unfortunately there are altogether 7 errors on the DVD. The chapters move on up once. Chapters - 2,5,8,10,16,18,19
The B-Side of the DVD is an insolence - contains the Chinese Version,with chinese and english subtitles.
It's only an old vhs copy.(No sharpness,stripes)
The Jackie Chan Music Video is very good,only the sound is missing!
