Summary: aka Little Canton Tiger
A movie known more as Little Canton Tiger (see Chinese name), was a low budget movie starring Jackie Chan as the main character. This is hard for me to reveiw, as I have never seen the Chinese version, I had to put up with a very badly dubbed English version, I had to take that into consideration when writing up on this. I had to watch it again now, because it was so long ago since I last saw it.

Very poor acting and martial arts, the story is that of a boy who wants to learn kung fu, but nobody will teach him, not for free anyway. An old man teaches him (played by the 'drunken' man 'Simon Yuen/Yuen SIu Tin').

Perhaps this could be described as an early Drunken Master movie, not as bad as some movies for low budgets & production skills. Worth seeing I guess, but hard to get the Chinese version. Jackie looks like only about 18 in this, the youngest I think I've seen him in a movie that I can remember clearly.

Rating (out of 5): 3
