This is a classic from 1978. Those great, cheesy sound effects that you made fun of when you were little (move a finger and here the windushing type stuff) had to be my favorite part of the movie. Or was it the extremely bad soundtrack? Seriously, Jackie Chan does some kick ass work in this film. The plot is.....well, the plot is not the main focus of this movie, and it shows. What this film has is one fight after another after another, and they are all great! The training sequences are even cool. If Jackie would stick to more kung fu oriented films like this and Drunken Master II, I would be a huge fan. He has the skills and the acting ability, but instead chooses to do his own car stunts or boat stunts or falling stunts; who says you can't fall all over the place in a kung fu flick, if falling is so important to him? Argh, I just see so much more potential.

(8.5/10)
