Movie Review: jackie chan vs. big wrestlers in 1st U.S. movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this w/"enter the dragon" in the theater yrs ago and "Brawl" was just as good, today I'd say it is better because of its originality. There are no other big budget movies featuring wrestlers, roller skating, gangsters, comedy and kung fu all in one movie especially taking place in the 1940's. No speeding up the film for the fights here(unlike jackie's hong kong films), still Chan is very fast and outmaneuvering everyone including some monster sized wrestlers. Mako and Chan keep the laughs coming during their training scenes but it's not all comedy when gangsters betting against him in the brawl kidnap his uncle and want him to take a "dive", but when the tables turn, Lalo schifrin's music kicks in and the suspense takes your breath away while chan goes for some payback. Disc picture, audio is decent, not great but it should be coming from fox. Robert Clouse shows he really was a competent director with this and others(ultimate warrior, darker than amber) after raising eyebrows with two "so bad its good" jim kelly goof-ups.Movie Review: This is my all time favorite Jackie Chan movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie about 5 or 6 years after it was made when I was only 15 years old (i.e., a LONG time ago). It was the first movie Jackie made in the U.S. And it is my favorite. I instantly fell in love with Jackie when I saw this movie. Maybe I like it so much because it's more of a "chick-flick" than his other movies. I love the funny romantic seens between Jackie and his American girlfriend in this movie. I love the roller derby scenes. And I drool over Jackie's muscles at the opening scene when he shows off his gymnastic talents on the scaffolding.
Also, I don't think he played a Korean immigrant in this movie. His father speaks some Chinese in the movie.

this is a renamed movie. the original name was "The Big Brawl" this is the first Jackie Chan movie made with an American production team. the story is different and the premise is interesting. this has been a favorite Jackie Chan movie for me but it has always been had to find. i was very happy to see finally available in dvd. even with the name change.Movie Review: Top Karate Comedy

You'll love Jackie Chan in one of his first (possibly his first) english speaking movies. A young man forced to fight in a large no holds bared street fight to gain the release of his brothers fiancee`, who was kidnapped by gangsters. The movie is full of action and comedy. A MUST SEE!!!!!!Movie Review: Fun Jackie Chan!
Summary: 5 Stars
I orginally saw this movie as "The Big Brawl". I was happy to find it on DVD under this title. This is an early Jackie Chan movie and is typical of his easy style. Typical story line of bad guys and good guys but Jackie makes it a lot of fun.
