Summary: Jackie Chan: 3 Pack
Review: For those of you wondering about the titles included in this 3-pack, the titles are listed on the cover. Looks like FEARLESS HYENA (1979), DRAGON FIST (1978) and SNAKE & CRANE ARTS OF SHAOLIN (1978) to me. I have each of these titles in my library, and am well pleased with them. Yes, they are of the '70's Kung Fu genre, but they are anything but typical. Even this early on, Jackie lends his own style and humor to each movie. And there are other reasons for the Jackie Chan collector to own these titles.

FEARLESS HYENA was the first film that Jackie himself directed, and he was (finally) given a lot of creative control by Lo Wei. He wrote the script, coordinated the stunts and even made up "Emotional Style" kung fu for this movie.

DRAGON FIST is probably the most typical "kung fu" movie of the set. Still, it kept my interest. And it's always worth seeing Jackie in action. Even though this is probably the least desirable of the set, it is still a worthy third selection.

SNAKE & CRANE ARTS OF SHAOLIN was, according to Jackie himself, his "first dream project." Again, he was given a great deal of creative control over character development and fight choreography. And it is fascinating watching him fight Snake style with one hand and Crane style with the other!

If you are a fan of the martial arts, you can't go wrong with this selection.

Summary: Which ones are these?
Review: Which movies come it this 3 pack? Most of the packaged movies are his pre 1980 movies like Fearless Hyena where he was still doing the cheesy 1970's kungfu movies that were all trying to bite off of Bruce Lee so be wary of this item. I assure that nothing is more of a let down then renting or buying one of these movies thinking they are anythink like Drunken Master 2 or Project A only to find out they are little more than B movie caliber productions.
