Jackie Chan Collection [1971-2008]-All Jackie Chan Movies

Along with the likes of Sammo Hung, Sammo Wong and Yuen Biao, Jackie Chan was considered one of the godfathers of Hong Kong martial arts cinema, along with Lee and Chang Cheh. In general, those four tended to go in the direction of broader, more comic-focused films about the modern world of crime and revenge that was generated after the days of kung fu as official entertainment. I think the expectations for this film have always been pretty low, because Hong Kong film audiences were so accustomed to the exotica of the late ’70s and early ’80s that it seems odd to them that something so cute and corny would ever work. In fact, its a totally incongruous pop-culture mash-up of martial arts and cartoons. Part kung fu movie, part Looney Tunes, part Jimmy Neutron, and part big-baddy spy op, it was definitely a breath of fresh air, and came at a time when the future of Hong Kong martial arts cinema was, once again, uncertain. J.V.

Chaplin Pictures has finally given the world its first Hollywood martial arts comedy, and it isnt half bad. Although I couldnt give it much higher than a 4, its basically a straight up action-comedy, when I compare it to other genre movies of the same time period. As a stand-alone comedy, it isnt as good as some of the Chaplins earlier films, but its definitely worth a watch to see what Hong Kong cinema was trying to do and is still trying to do. By this point, Jackie Chan had become a pretty big star in Hong Kong, so making comedy was definitely in his wheelhouse, but this isnt a ho-hum comedy, and he makes the most out of it as a comedic action director. The toothy face designed for the character, the wigs and extensions, the giant, stupid moustache are all prominent throughout the film. In fact, its a scene in a couple of the more banal fight sequences that holds the film up the most, where a top secret agency has Chan in a high-security cell for some reason. Chan is locked in, but gets away from his captors in the nick of time. He walks away, but still hasnt changed, but it at least says something for the maturation of his portrayal as a character over the years, that he can go from laughing at how ridiculous his character is to getting kicked in the face and then back to laughing again without missing a beat. Not quite the spiritual successor to Robin Hood, but probably the closest one. J.V.

here, the action is split between street-style fight sequences and training sequences, with some interesting observations on how jackie trains. the combat is mostly fast-paced, although its not nearly as frenetic as the wildest jackie chan movies. despite featuring lee, it doesnt really have any of the over-the-top, outlandish humor that characterizes so many of the early films. instead, it takes itself a bit more seriously, and in many ways it is the closest to a realistic portrayal of jackie chan that weve seen on screen. this is largely because the film was directed by bruce lees friend david wu, a writer who has studied kung fu extensively. the result is an accurate if not particularly funny look at what jackie chan is like in his free time. j.v.
wu teh-fei appears in snake and crane arts of shaolin as the master who sends jackie chan and his masters to the country of shaolin to learn kung fu. wu plays up his role as a dapper gentleman as best as he can, unlike the street-savvy pang dong, who plays opposite chan in the film. it has some nice, fast-paced fight scenes, especially the hilarious swordfight with bruce lee (though its mostly bruce lee doing the talking during that sequence). its also a bit of a departure from the usual jackie chan comedic antics, with wu playing a villain of sorts instead of the usual goofball. its a nice change of pace, and lee and wu have a lot of fun with each other, which isnt always the case when the two meet in the films. its also the best of a few of the early jackie chan-lee collaborations, although some of the scenes with lee are a bit stiff and awkward. j.v.
