Movie Review: "The Big Brawl"
Summary: 5 Stars
That's what I knew it as... but it's the same movie. It's awesome! Thanks so much for prompt delivery! In great condition :-)Movie Review: Jackie Chan's First American Release - A Lot of Fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
Warner Bros thought Jackie Chan might be the next big Kung Fu star after Bruce Lee's death - they were right, just 15 years too early. This film was directed by Robert Clouse and released in the USA in 1980. Unfortunately, in the early 1980's, American audiences were not ready for Jackie Chan's comedic/fighting style and/or two martial arts stars at the same time (Chuck Norris already at three profitable films under his belt).
This film, however, is a gem. It is funny, reasonably well directed, and the acting is actually very good. Jackie and Mako produce good chemistry as Uncle/teacher (Make) and nephew/student (Chan). Jose Ferrer is good as the gangster who coerces Chan into entering the winner take all fight in Battle Creek Texas.
The fight scenes, although not great, are fun and the last 25 minutes is almost pure action and it is here where Jackie is most fun to watch. Originally released as the Big Brawl, this is a good movie and in today's movie rating system, it would at most bring in a PG-13 rating, so disregard the "R" rating on the DVD sales.
Movie Review: JACKIE CHAN'S 1ST AMERICAN FILM IS FINALLY ON DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
AND IN MANY WAYS, IT RANKS AS ONE OF CHAN'S GREATEST AMERICAN MOVIES. A CHINESE MARTIAL ARTIST [JACKIE CHAN] IS FORCED BY SOME GANGSTERS TO COMPETE IN A STREET FIGHTING TOURNAMENT IN 1930S CHICAGO. THE FIGHTS HERE AREN'T AS GOOD AS THE FIGHTS THAT'RE SEEN IN HIS CHINESE MOVIES, BUT THE FILM HAS ENOUGH HILLARIOUS SCENES AND ENOUGH REASONABLY GOOD FIGHTS TO MAKE THIS A GOOD MARTIAL ARTS FILM. BUT, WHEN THIS FILM WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED HERE IN THE U.S., THIS FILM WAS A FLOP AND IT WAS PRETTY MUCH IGNORED HERE FOR ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL THEATRICAL RELEASE. IT WOULDN'T BE UNTIL THE RELEASE OF 1995'S ''RUMBLE IN THE BRONX'' THAT JACKIE CHAN WOULD GET RECOGNITION IN AMERICA.Movie Review: Old but still good
Summary: 4 Stars
This, "The Protector", and "Jackie Chan's Police Force" were the first Jackie Chan films I saw as a kid. Granted the other two were better films (especially "Police Force"), but I really liked the humor in the film. The story was good and Jackie was funny as always and Mako (his uncle) was funny too. The action was toned down quite a bit for a Jackie chan movie not as fast paced or as hard hitting, but over all it was enjoyable. Just remember this was one of his first movies here.Movie Review: jackie chan movie
