![]() ![]() I haven't seen most of those 200 movies, except for the Drunken Master movies, Jet Li's 'Once Upon a Time in China' series, and 'Iron Monkey'. So there is the true story, and then there is the 200 or so movies made about him. I've read about him before, and from memory, he was an exceptional martial artist (he practiced Hung-Gar) and became a folk-hero to the people of China, much like his father, Wong Kei Ying. I am not very familiar with the true story of Wong Fei Hung. Reviewed by AwesomeWolf 10 / 10 The film that propelled Jackie to stardom But for anyone who loves martial arts you must see this!! Great entertainment 7/10 may not find what their looking for here this is Jackie in one of his most pure kung fu movies. This is a really good old style kung fu flick fans of Jackies later work such as Rush Hour etc. The comedy works well and Jackies on screen master is very funny and they spark well off each other as a team. The showdowns are impressive and with no trick photography, CG or massive effects fueled blow outs and shows just how good a martial artist Jackie is. The fighting styles on show are unique, inventive and fascinating to watch. This is a more traditional set kung-fu film than the later stunt fests that made his name. but its this later film that is more often considered Chan's earliest masterpiece. Of the two films I actually prefer the earlier Snake in. This is one of the quality films from Jackie's early years made the year after Snake in Eagles Shadow with much of the same cast and crew this built on the comedic style of Kung Fu action that Jackie was to make his own.
