Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
J_Charles Some of Jackie's best fight scenes ever are in this one. Nobody mentioned the one near the end where he's attacked by 3 guys with spears / machetes (you'll see what I mean). The attacks come one at a time, and then all in sequence. The cuts show that there are very few breaks in the action, lots of continuous fighting. Amazing nobody got seriously injured or even killed during the filming.Another scene of note that everyone talks about is the chopstick scene. But how about the fight against the guy with the two swords? Yet another death defying feat of timing, reflexes and luck.If you don't enjoy HK humour then don't watch it. But the fight scenes are among the best ever. For those complaining about the dubbing, relax - even the Cantonese version suffers from very poor dubbing. I think it was just the studios at the time trying to save money.
Space_Lord All I'll say about this movie is sit back and watch the mayhem!!! Featuring a young Jackie Chan in his prime, this film contains some of the best choreographed fight scenes you will ever see!! Highlights include an awesome stick fight between Jackie and his grandfather; a gender-bending, cross-dressing female-impersonating Jackie dealing to a muscular chinaman; kung-fu fun with bowls and finally a climactic kung-fu ass kicking fest!! All part and parcel of the insanity we can expect from this period of Jackie's career! Sure, the dubbing is terrible, but who really cares what they're saying with Jackie kicking ten kinds of ass all over the shop!! A must see for kung-fu movie fans!! WICKED!!!
CitizenCaine The Fearless Hyena is Jackie Chan's debut as a film director, although he had been a fight choreographer previously. The plot is the same old tired one we've come to expect of martial arts films of the period, that being revenge for the murder of one's relative, master, teacher, or other by learning or training in a new martial art system of some sort. In this one, it's "emotional kung fu". There is really no real "emotional kung fu" system, but it doesn't matter. Chan carries the film with his fight choreography, comic effects, and silly antics. However, the plot is forgettable, the dialog is really bad at times, and the dubbing is horrible. The acting is laughable too, and get a load of those phony lumps that appear on iron head during his fight with Chan. Chan has a habit of mugging for the camera in this film as well. Still, the film is notable not only as Chan's directorial debut but as a continuation of his stylistic ploy of ingratiating himself to audiences through the use of physical comedy. ** of 4 stars.
Joost First of all I want to say to the Dutch readers that the Fearless Hyena part I that you poses is Part II in the rest of the world because Prime Time made a mistake switching them around.Although the story line was bad and some humor was absolutely terrible this movie contains some of the most hard acrobatic skills and it was one of his most energetic movies. I guess that he's been training like a mad person for this movie because it was one of the first movies in which he could do the fighting choreography completely by himself. This made the fighting scenes absolutely awesome and make me want to train myself again.I saw a comment which says that it looked too much like Drunken Master, but it's Drunken Master that looks a lot like this one because Fearless Hyena was made a year earlier.
