This is one of the last old Jackie Chan movies I need to reveiw I think, but nothing more special than the average 70's movies he was in. I have just wathced this again before reveiwing, to to keep it clear in my mind. The version I have is unsubtitled, and in Mandarin. Unlike Cantonese, I don't understand any Mandarin, so I had to work out a lot of it in my mind. Still, from what I saw, there is nothing much to understand, as it's quite obvious what is going on most of the time.

A slightly better attempt at a kung fu movie by Lo Wei, but the standard in movie is only slightly better than his worst ones. So, if you happen to find it and think about watching it, I could recommend a lot more. However, there are definitaly worst ones out there.

This martial arts movies packs a lot more realistic fighting scenes into it, unlike the slower obviously faked fight movies. It's about a man (played by Jackie) who steels a book from a temple about the Shaolin styles of Snake & Crane. The temples send several people after him in order to get it back. It's actually not that bad once it gets going.

All in all like I said, it's nothing special, so don't rush to see it.

Rating: 3/5
