    Old School Kung Fu

    I absolutely love old kung fu films and I've recently watched quite a few of Jackie Chan's early offerings. To be honest this is a decent enough film, the fight scenes are worth watching, but nothing really special or outstanding.

    If you really want a good old kung fu film check out Drunken Master or Young Master, both Jackie Chan films, but with much better stories and fights.

    Overall this film is definately average, containing all the bad stereotypes of bad dubbing, dodgy beards and poor acting, leading to something that may amuse you for a while if you like that sort of thing, but if your new to this sort of film, there are better ones out there.
