The first film Jackie Chan made at Golden Harvest—the studio where he would go on to make many of his greatest films—was a record-breaking box office smash that firmly established him as Hong Kong’s leading kung fu superstar. In his second outing as director, Chan plays Dragon Lung, a martial arts student who sets out to find his errant brother, who has defected to a rival school, only to get mixed up in a case of mistaken identity from which he must fight his way out. It all builds to an epic, nearly twenty-minute final battle that sees Chan balancing slapstick and thrilling action with rip-roaring virtuosity. Description by the Criterion Channel. (Dir.: Jackie Chan, Hong Kong, 1980, 106 min., 35mm, Cantonese with English subtitles) Images courtesy of Janus Films |
