    Jackie's directorial debut already showed some of the elements that would become a trademark in future films. The film suffers from some pacing issues, and the plot is nearly invisible, but the action segments are great and easily stand the test of time. Good ol martial arts fun,...( read more) just don't go expecting a Project A or Police Story.

    A hit and miss debut for Jackie Chan, this definitely has it's moments. Unfortunately they are sandwiched between the clumsiest cheeseball schmaltz you're ever going to see (even by HK standards) at the beginning, and an excruciatingly overlong and self indulgent final battle.

    An early Jackie Chan film that follows two adoptive brothers and the troubles they cause themselves. A lot of the expected humor, but the story was very thin. The fight scenes were good, but drag on too long.

    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.

    No thankyou - Not interested.

    Pretty slapdash early Jackie Chan chop-socky vehicle, with neverending battles and a nonexistent narrative.

    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.

    I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.
