Two thumb up! What a wonderfully choreographed film Jackie Chan ever made. First off the fight scenes are all very good, but the final fight is more amazing. This comedy is mixed nicely with everything elese and sits well even within the final 15 minutes fight scene at the end.

A great early Jackie Chan film. Some amazing fights here, though some do seem a bit drawn out. The final fight is great but it feels like it takes 40 minutes.

Quite old movie, but good. I love the figh scene with the chair. Jackie does the same thing is later movies, but this is where he started it. ^_^
