Classic Jackie Chan

[kungpowmaster]

Hi,

I was looking at the cheap DVDs at a local store, and I found for two dollars, Jackie Chan's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.

I had never seen this before. It was really good. I want to get more of the classic era Chan movies. I have a dvd of The Young Master, but haven't gotten to watch it yet. It has a double feature with a movie I don't recall right now, but the picture was so bad it looked unwatchable.

Anyway, I'll go out this weekend and maybe find some classic Chan dvds. I'm a late bloomer in my martial arts collecting, though I have always liked them since I was a youngster. I'm forty now. I also made a yahoo group for kung fu classics and it's link is on my profile here, if anyone is interested.

I'll add more here when I get back from shopping.

So, if anyone is interested to reply, what are the top Chan movies to look for from the 70's and 80's, before he went Hollywood?

I'm guessing I have some,

My current Chan DVD collection is:
Snake in the Eagle's Shadow(Columbia Tristar).
The Young Master/New Fists of Fury(DiscPlaza).

and on VHS I have a 4 movie set(Simitar):
Fearless Hyena.
Fearless Hyena 2.
Spiritual Kung Fu.
Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin.

I am thinking I need to get Master with Cracked Fingers, and Drunken Master.

Just off the top of my head:
Drunken Master
Half a Loaf of Kung-Fu
Shaolin Wooden Men
To Kill with Intrigue
Fantasy Mission Force
Killer Meteors
Hand of Death
Dragon Lord

heh not all of these are exactly homeruns, but for a true Chan Fan, you gotta see 'em. :)

[Jimbo]

Dragon Fist (1978)
Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin (1977)
Magnificent Bodyguards (1977)

If you want a better-quality version of The Young Master, you should check out the 20th Century-Fox release, and I would recommend watching the original Cantonese dialogue instead of their newly-dubbed English version. And these 20th Century-Fox versions of Golden Harvest movies are quite inexpensive, usually available for less than $10, sometimes $6.99 apiece.

[jethro]

Snake in Eagle's Shadow, Drunken Master, and Young Master are 3 of my favorite jackie films. But talking about my favorite jackie movies makes me bring up Crime Story. That is my 4th favorite. If anybody thought that jackie is just a goofy guy who gets his butt whooped, you obviously haven't seen Crime Story.

[kungpowmaster]

Last night I watched New Fist of Fury. I'd had this for a while on a cheapo DVD, and the pic looked bad and I never got around to watching it. Well, as I did watch it, the pic was watchable, but an obvious double crop of a 20th generation VHS. But overall, I liked the movie. Jackie wasn't front and center throughout, I know he was new then too, and I also read this was an "official" sequel to Fist of Fury, aka Chinese Connection. I did wonder why when Jackie was returning the repaired school sign, images of Bruce popped on the screen. I guess that was the ushering in of Jackie as the new Lee. The end, like the end in Blazing Ninja, was not the expected type of ending. But I did like it, and if I see it on the better release, I'll get it.

I also started watching The Young Master. I think I'd seen this before, but not sure if all of it. This was the second feature with the above movie on this cheapo dvd I picked up at Kroger a while back for a buck. I got about half way in, and the move kept freezing up. I'm not sure if it's the cheapo DVD or my player, which sometimes does act up, I guess it's 2 or 3 years old. I'll try and finish it on the other player I have in another room. But this too, I'd get again on the proper release.

I'm off to visit one of my local used shops, if I find something good, I'll post about it.

[jethro]

If you have the 3 pack that I have, then it is transferred from the horrible Ocean Shores version. The one positive on the American cut is that you get to hear Jackie sing at the end of the movie. But, you are missing out on abotu 20 minutes of footage.

[kungpowmaster]

No, I don't have a 3 pack of Chan. I just have that double feature el-cheapo DVD on Disc Plaza I got at Kroger for a buck a couple of years ago, with New Fist of Fury and the Young Master. This disc seems defective too.


Anyway, I went to the store I often go to, and find deals.

I think I got 2 good ones, esp if I go by the comments on the IMDB.

I got:
The Legend of Drunken Master($4).
Heart of Dragon($3).

The reviews of the Legend of Drunken Master are excellent.

I also picked up, unrelated to Chan a VHS of Streetfighters Last Revenge for one dollar. I know this is our on dvd cheap, but I can't seem to find it for a dollar on DVD.

Sadly, I found no Godfrey Ho Ninja movies this time.

But, the Jackie Chans look good, and the prices seemed a deal.

I'll probably watch one tonight.

Chosen One

[jethro]

If you got the Fortune Star DVD of Heart of the Dragon, you got the right one!

Like Jimbo said, those Fortune Star DVDs are cheap and great quality. Pick em all up.

[BlueTravesty]

If you got the Fortune Star DVD of Heart of the Dragon, you got the right one!

Like Jimbo said, those Fortune Star DVDs are cheap and great quality. Pick em all up.

I liked Heart of Dragon... some good acting by Jackie in that one... and Sammo did an EXCELLENT job in his role as a mentally challenged man...

[jethro]

I can name probably 20 better Jackie movies, but I like Heart of a Dragon. Great acting from everbody and some really good action at the end. D!ck Wei very rarely disappoints.

[jethro]

Hey Kung Pow Master-

I watched my Jackie Chan 3-pack for a first time in a while yesterday and I really think you would like it. Young Master is actually a decent widescreen print except it has the Vintage Entertainment logo on screen for a lot of the movie. It is the cut version, but worth it for the $1.99 price I found this for.

The DVD also has Fantasy Mission Force which is a bad movie, but still a lot of fun.

It also has a watchable version of The 36 Crazy Fists. Some people do not believe Jackie directed the action for this movie, but this version actually shows behind the scenes filming of the movie with Chan directing. Absolutely awesome stuff.

http://www.amazon.com/Jackie-Chan-Triple-Punch-Collection/dp/B0000A02V0/ref=sr_1_1/104-9987729-9630313?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1177965716&sr=1-1

So make sure you get the Jackie Chan Triple Punch Collection. It is 3 movies on one disc.


And oh yeah, don't get Master with Cracked Fingers. This is actually Jackie's first starrign role and Rarescope will be releasing it uncut for the first time ever. It was released many years after Jackie became a star and was heavily edited.

[mickey]

Greetings kungpowmaster,

You must get Dragon Fist. It was one of Jackie's rare, straight serious, kung fu movies. The opening fight tournament is an immediate hook and the overall fight choreography is the SCHLITZ. Jackie even doubles for some of the tournament guys in the beginning.

You will NOT be disappointed with this flick!


mickey

[kungpowmaster]

Thanks for all the classic Chan recommendations and comments. I'll keep a look out for them. I have the 36 Crazy Fists in one of my dvd sets, and as you know, it's not him as the star. I don't think I've watched it yet, or all of it. I have a few Chan, on dvd and VHS, I think I listed what I have on the 1st post. I always check the bargain and used bins. I found Snake in Eagle's Shadow a few weeks ago for two bucks at Big Lots(a local bargain related store), I looked there yesterday too, and the only thing I found was a non-Chan related, Lethal Ninja titled movie, from 91, dir; Rudnicki. Haven't seen it yet.

[Black Jack II]

Ya know, Jackie was actually in a porn film. People kinda don't talk about that little nugget.:cool:

[kungpowmaster]

OK, so what is this "porn film", and by that, do you mean he engaged in actual sex which was graphically shown on film? Or was he a cameo in some "adult oriented" sexy themed movie?

Chosen One

[jethro]

There is no way it is a porn movie. I think it was from golden Harvest, but it is known for being the movie where Jackie has a sex scene, which is the reason I have never seeked it out. I read a review abotu it once and nowhere did it mention porn, just a terrible sex scene.

[kungpowmaster]

I didn't think it was "porn".

Anyway, I was at a local shop today, and they had for $3.99 each;

Rumble in the Bronx.
Jackie Chan's First Strike.

So, I got them. I have seen Rumble in the Bronx..., maybe at the theatre?
Anyway, I liked it enough, and I'm not sure about First Strike, I may have seen it or parts on TV.

Can't go wrong with $3.99 though, it's cheaper than renting them.

Chosen One.

[kungpowmaster]

Last night I watched Legend of Drunken Master, well, about half, will finish it later today.

This movie had super rave reviews. Well for me, apart from Jackie's great skills, I wasn't impressed overall. It still has that modern feel to it, which is different than the classic style of the 70's, and even early 80's. But what dampened this movie most for me, is Jackie's mother. Her character is like a Lucille Ball on meth, and very annoying to me. Also, I don't like the music, the music to me, detracts from many scences, like the fight scenes especially. This movie is a pale shadow to even Snake in Eagle's Shadow. I seem to think, I like Jackie's modern movies best in a modern setting. I just don't think the great classic style of kung fu cinema can be done anymore, in the style of Shaw Brothers, and such.

Other than that, the movie is OK, so far, in my opinion(I like goofy, but there is such a thing as too goofy).

Chosen One

[jethro]

You can't really comment on the movie until you have seen it. I agree it is far from Jackie's best work, but the axe gang fight and the final fight are 2 very thrilling scenes.

[kungpowmaster]

Hi,

I finished watching Legend of Drunken Master. I thought it was good, overall, but still, I felt the music detracted from the action scenes, I felt his mother character was annoying, and the bad 90's style dubbing, all that to me hurt the movie. If these were different, or not there, I'd rate it 4 out of 5, but as it is, I guess a 3, as the good scenes make up for it. I also didn't like Jackie's clothing. BUT, just my review, and the fight scenes, and Jackies stunts etc, were all excellent, as he is great, maybe the greatest in this stuff. I think if anyone can be considered a successor of Bruce Lee, it is Jackie Chan.

I also watched Jackie Chan's First Strike. Now, I liked this a lot. Better than Legend. Good music, no overly annoying characters, awesome fight and stunt scenes, and the dub was bearable.

As usual, this is all my opinion, yours may differ.

Chosen One

[jethro]

The dubbed cut version is pretty hard to take. I don't think there is a proper release of Drunken Master 2 out. First Strike is a lot of fun. I think it is on par with 'Who Am I?'.

[kungpowmaster]

Hi,

I was at my local used shop today, and got a few things.

Jackie Chan's:

City Hunter. Fortune Star, 20th Cent Fox.
Never seen this or heard of it even. It was $3.99.

Dragon Fist. Columbia Tristar.
I haven't seen this either, that I recall, but it's a 70's classic era, so I think I'll really like this. It was $3.99 too.

Drunken Master. Telefilms/Saturn/Beverly Wilshire.
I didn't have this, and it's the classic 1st DM. Only bad thing here, is the label is subpar, and not too hot a picture. I need the quality release, but I bought this, because, 1. I didn't have it, 2, I wanted to see it, 3, it was the only one they had, and 4, it was $2.99.

I also got some non Jackie DVDs, that the main critique of them would be the tranfer quality, but I got them because they were $1.99 each, and double features.

Kung Fu Beyond the Grave/Chinese Vampire Story.
Black Belt Theatre/Ground Zero.

Drunken Master Killer/Breakout From Oppression.
Black Belt Theatre/Ground Zero.

Mantis Fist Boxer/Tiger From Canton.
Brooklyn Zu/Ground Zero.

Comments welcome.

[jethro]

Quality over quantity.

You will learn, it is just taking longer than I thought.

[kungpowmaster]

Hi,

Well, the other day, I watched Dragon Fist, which I think is from '79. This was a quality release on Columbia Tristar DVD, in widescreen, with original audio option. It's a Lo Wei movie. Pic looked good, a couple of broken film and slight worn spots, and maybe a slight softness. But very good overall.

Now this movie, Dragon Fist, I greatly enjoyed. I find I like the early Chan movies best, 70's and 80's. But, to me, in all genres, the 70's and 80's were best, and overall movie making went downhill once the 90's hit.

Which brings us to 1992's City Hunter, which I watched last night. The DVD release was very good on a quality big name label, which I don't recall right now. But it was good widescreen, and with the original audio option, which, while I prefer a good dub over subs, I think when a movie is released on DVD, all options should be on it, if it's available. And the dub in City Hunter was rather weak, esp Jackies voice. The dubs were so good in the 70's and 80's and then once the 90's hit and ever since, dubs suckk, to me at least.

Now, the movie, is an odd one. I had never even heard of it before. It's rather different, even for Jackie, based on what I've seen. I looked at all the special features, which is good, and did some net research, and it's from a Manga cartoon. It was OK, in that it didn't bore me, and I made it to the end in one sitting, and the girls were really hot. But to me, what mainly hurt this movie, was all the serious/realistic killing, from the terrorists, and this being mixed with cartoon type outrageous efforts at humour. It just didn't mix to me. It would have been better played all straight, or cut the mass shooting massacres, and keep it comedy.

I also started watching Drunken Master, but havent finished it yet, but I can say, this is great! I'm bought half way through it. But the action, the story, the dub, this is all great, and a billion times better than Legend of Drunken Master, I think. But, again, this is classic era, 70's-80's. This superior era just is gone and can't be done again, but I think there is enough retro fans, that a filmmaker should really try for the classic style, and a classic style dub.

I'll post more on Drunken Master when I finish it. I will need to get the quality release of this one eventually.

[jethro]

If you like Drunken Master, than make sure you check otu the sequel- Dance of the Drunken Mantis.

[mickey]

kungpowmaster,

I told ya you'd like Dragon Fist. I tollja, I tolja so. Tolllllja.


mickey

[jethro]

Good call Mickey. i wouldn't have recommended that. I only liked the first 20 minutes or so.

[kungpowmaster]

Yes, you did, Mickey.

I did like Dragon's Fist alot, I got it though cuz it was so cheap. I also like New Fist of Fury. I like the Lo Wei/Chan flicks I've seen. I have a couple others on VHS that I haven't gotten around to, Spiritual Kung Fu, and Fearless Hyena, and maybe others I don't know about.

But for me, the classic era and traditional style is my favorite in the Martial Arts genre. Settings in the pre-industrial villages, usually about revenge, often for a Master, or some bizzare new weapon or technique, done with classic era dubbing, made within the 70's and 80's. This to me, is the essence of martial arts films.

Now, I also like a lot, the crime world modern era films too, like The Streetfighter, and the Ninja movies, as well as most of the Chan 90's non-American productions.

[mickey]

Hi kungpowmaster,

Then you must have seen these:

Chinese Hercules

Fury of the Black Belt

Dragon's Vengeance

Hammer of God



mickey

[kungpowmaster]

Hi Mickey,

No, I have not seen or heard of these, except for Chinese Hercules, which I'm not sure if I have ever seen it, but I know of it, and it's star Bolo Yeung.


I did find a nice non-Chan suprise on that Brooklyn Zu dvd I got that I mentioned earlier, a movie by my favorite director, Godfrey Ho, called Mantis Boxer, labeled on the case as Mantis Fist Boxer.

[jethro]

Chinese Hercules is a very bad movie. I am a huge Bolo fan so I mildly enjoyed it. Wait for Rarescope to release this if you are gonna get it. Their movies are super cheap and it will have an interview with Bolo.

[mickey]

jethro,

Though Chinese Hercules is not a fantastically choreographed movie, it fits in with kungpowmaster's preferences. I think he will enjoy it.

mickey

[jethro]

Haha, you are probably right. I thought that movie was just a little too stupid.

[kungpowmaster]

Hi all,

Last night I started watching, Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin. I have this on VHS. It's a Low Wei. Haven't finished it yet, but this is really good to me. I am liking it alot.

I also went to the used DVD shop today, and they had the DVD of that Snake and Crane, but I passed on it, as it was on the lower quality label, and I know this movie does have a quality DVD release.

But, I did pick up 2 Jackies:

Operation Condor.
and,
Supercop.

I THINK I saw some of Operation Condor on TV, but not sure. I don't recall having seen Supercop at all.

I almost picked up Mr Nice Guy, which I don't think I've seen either, but my money was getting low, and it was a double feature with First Strike, which I already have. Yeah, I guess I could get it, and sell my single First Strike, maybe next time if it's still there....


Comments welcome,

Supercop is a ton of fun.

[Jimbo]

kungpowmaster:
The City Hunter characters, as you mentioned, came from a Japanese manga that was also made a long time ago into a Japanese animated TV series. IMO, Jackie was a very poor Ryo Saeba, who in the original manga was hilarious as a pervert. Jackie is virtually the last actor on earth who could or would effectively portray a combination sexual pervert yet efficient private eye; of course, that aspect of the character was not apparent in that film. It did not work in a live-action movie, at all, for someone familiar with the original characters/stories.

Legend of Drunken Master as you know was originally Drunken Master II. Although not up so many of Chan's old-school stuff, it's certainly the last real good film he's done. I have seen the original version, which is superior. Keep in mind that when Dimension Films gets their hands on Chinese films, they completely re-do the music, sound effects, and add very annoying English dubbing. While I also thought the late Anita Mui's portrayal of Jackie/Wong Fei-Hong's mother was overused and grating, the first parts of Drunken Master II (as I prefer to call it) was directed by Lau Kar-Leung and reflects that flavor in the fight scenes and acting styles. Jackie fired Lau as director due I'm sure to Jackie's ego, and took over the last part of the film, therefore the final fight in the iron factory is all Jackie Chan style. His fight with Ken Lo is partly another version of his final fight with Hwang In-Sik in The Young Master.

The kung fu movies of the '70s into the early '80s, esp. the old Shaw's films, had a freshness and excitement that is long gone. If you watch some old Shaw films, even many of the extras had more physical skills than most martial arts starring actors of the '90s or esp. 2k. That profusion of talent and moviemaking skill is irreplaceable and IMO can never be recaptured.

[GeneChing]

...and for some unknown Monday reason, I felt this should be posted here. Must be Cinco De Mayo.

It's nothing new for those that know Jackie. It's also an old article so I don't know why it popped up on one of my news feeds this morning. But it's CNN, so it's worth archiving.


All hail Jackie Chan, King of Comedy Kung Fu! (http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/22/jackiechan.profile/?iref=intlOnlyonCNN)
By Stephanie Busari
For CNN

LONDON, England (CNN) -- He's the butt-kicking, karate-chopping, kung fu superstar who rose from nowhere to conquer Hollywood in a spectacularly visual style.

With his compact but wiry 5-foot, 9-inch frame, Jackie Chan seems to pale into insignificance when compared with muscle-bound Hollywood tough guys such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

But combining extraordinary athleticism and an acrobatic style, Chan could probably take them both on in a fight and emerge victorious.

Best known to western audiences as star of the Rush Hour trilogy, Chan is a prolific actor who has made more than 100 films spanning three decades.

But success did not come easy for Chan, who made a string of flops in the early 1970s in Asia.

He struggled for years to break out of the shadow of Bruce Lee, the undisputed kung fu king of the time -- even appearing as a stuntman in two of Lee's films.

But in 1978, Chan landed his first hit in Asia with "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow." This was quickly followed by "Drunken Master," which catapulted him to fame, and he suddenly became one of the highest-paid actors in the industry.

Chan is credited with creating a new film art form, with his comedic take on martial arts, reminiscent of Buster Keaton's slapstick style.

"He totally reinvented Hong Kong cinema," said Renee Witterstaetter, author of "Dying For Action: The Life and Films of Jackie Chan."

"He created a new film art form, mixing humor with martial arts," Witterstaetter said. "It was so different and unique."

Although a household name in his native Hong Kong and most of Asia, Hollywood seemed largely oblivious to his talents.

It was not until 1994 when he made "Rumble in the Bronx," which grossed $10 million in its opening weekend and made it to number one at the U.S. box office, that Chan finally cracked Hollywood.

Soon big-budget hits such as the "Rush Hour" series and "Shanghai Noon," followed.

"Rush Hour" was Chan's first movie to break $100 million at the U.S. box office, earning $141 million, according to the box office tracking Web site, Box Office Mojo. "Rush Hour 2" made $226 million and "Rush Hour 3" has earned $137 million so far.

His current cinematic venture sees him paired with longtime friend Jet Li in "The Forbidden Kingdom" in their first movie collaboration. Set in a mythic, ancient China, it is described as "The Wizard of Oz with lots of martial arts."

The martial arts dream team have already seen "Kingdom" debut at No. 1 with $20.9 million in ticket sales last weekend, but Chan says the reason it took him so long to work with Jet Li is because he didn't like the Hollywood scripts they were initially offered.

Chan, 54, is also quite candid about the fact that he doesn't like most of the Hollywood films he has made. He revealed to CNN: "I didn't really like 'Rush Hour.' In America, everyone likes 'Rush Hour,' but in Asia nobody likes it.

"They like talking too much in America but in Asia they like to fight more in the films."

After the film wrapped in 1998, he wrote on his Web site: "When we finished filming, I was very disappointed because it was a movie I didn't appreciate and I did not like the action scenes involved.

"I felt the style of action was too Americanized and I didn't understand the American humor."

Chan has certainly come a long way from his impoverished childhood in Hong Kong, where the story has it that his parents were so poor, they nearly sold him to a British doctor for less than $100.

However, his parents instead enrolled him at the China Drama Academy, a talent school of hard knocks with a draconian regime that included training in music, acrobatics and martial arts that lasted 18 hours a day. Beatings were commonplace.

Children were made to perform headstands for hours on end and Chan describes being forced to run, arms outstretched, carrying two full cups of water, with strict instructions not to spill a drop. With his parents now living in Australia, Chan stayed at the school for ten years and was adopted by his Master.

Undoubtedly, the academy's grueling regime would later stand Chan in good stead, turning him into an incredibly driven and disciplined stuntman turned actor, who always choreographs and performs his own stunts.

As a consequence, no insurance company will underwrite Chan's productions, which are legendary for his death-defying super stunts. They include water-skiing barefoot behind a speeding hovercraft, jumping off a building and swinging from a hot air balloon.

Chan holds the Guinness World Record for "Most Stunts By A Living Actor."

He also holds the record for the most number of takes for a single shot in a film, having shot over 2900 retakes for a complex scene involving a badminton game in "Dragon Lord."

Unsurprisingly, Chan has suffered a litany of injuries in the course of his film career. Over the years, he has dislocated his pelvis and broken his fingers, toes, nose, both cheekbones, hips, sternum, neck and ribs on numerous occasions.

When filming "Police Story" in 1985, he suffered second-degree burns to his hands and palms after sliding 100 feet down a pole festooned in Christmas lights.

Many of the injuries have appeared, in eye-watering viewing, as outtakes or bloopers during the closing credits of his films.

But in 1986, he came close to death while filming "Armor of God," when he fell 45 feet from a tree and fractured his skull, leaving a permanent hole in his head.

Chan explained to CNN's TalkAsia host, Anjali Rao that he never insists on doing his own stunts. It's just the way things are done in Hong Kong.

"Making a film in Hong Kong in the old days was not like Hollywood," he says.

"We didn't have protection like elbow pads and we didn't have the knowledge about safety. I had to risk my life jumping from building to building."

Chan is a one-man movie-making machine. He has his own production and distribution company -- Jackie Chan Emperor Movies -- and controls all aspects of the movie-making process, from casting to directing, producing, screenwriting, choreographing and stunt coordinating. He even has his own stunt team and casting agency.

His director on the Rush Hour series, Brett Ratner told CNN's The Screening Room that Chan's versatility gives him the edge over other martial arts stars like Bruce Lee and Jet Li.

"Jackie is the most gifted actor of the three because he has the most range. Bruce Lee is a legendary performer and martial artist, but I don't think he is as funny as Jackie Chan.

"Jackie can be funny, he can be dramatic, he can do the action and the stunts, he can direct, edit, shoot. He is also a stunt coordinator so he is everything wrapped into one."
