Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
The acting in this movie is really good.
I remember seeing this film during the mid 80s on a VHS with poor dubbing. The name was Revenge aka Fearless hyena. If u like Jackie Chan movies solely for the Kung Fu fights, this is one movie not to miss. It features about long battles and one training scene. I consider this movie to contain some of his best fights ever. The end battle was really good showing Jackie fight without fear. Watch for the scene with the chopsticks and the big pots. Jackie dressing up as a female was good too. The most impressive thing for me was the brilliant training/workout scenes, which really showed the physical strength of Jackie chan. Anyway, if your into your Kung Fu movies then you definitely need this film in your collection. Memorable scene is the chopsticks duel. Jackie uses Emotional Kung-Fu, a style that involves displaying the emotions of anger, sorrow, joy and happiness to find the opponent's weakness thus fighting whilst crying or laughing. Very unique. This movie also happens to be Jackie Chan's directorial debut.
This is one of Chan's best, because as opposed to his recent bloated-budget adventures, he isn't being written buy rich fat white guys who think, "hey let's make that Asian dude sing a funny song with (fill-in-the-blank) American sidekick!" I'm sorry, but as silly and awkward as Fearless Hyena is, it isn't tainted by the Hollywood "fish out of water" premise.The fighting scenes, while exhausting at moments, are clever and fitting the themes of the film. This is one of Chan's more expressive styles, and his mere body language alone makes up for the horrible overdubbing and juvinile dialouge. Besides, the song at the end when the credits roll is AMAZING. I get chills when I hear it, it's so eerie and atmospheric. I always look forward to it after that final epic fight.
This movie was fun. I really thought it was TOO much like Drunken Master, but not as good. I just felt that Jackie was desparate to recreate the success of that classic, so he just did pretty much the same movie over again with some changes included. But at least he picked Drunken Master to rip off, because that movie is awesome. I make it sound like this movie is bad, but that isnt the case. Its a good movie, very enjoyable, just not original.
Jackie Chan in "Hsiao chuan yi chao" is Kung Fu's answer to Charlie Chaplan. Yes I admit that some critics may accuse the film of having a flimsy plot line or cheesy dialogue, but my God, the humor and action scenes more than make up for all of the movie's shortcomings! I have two words for anyone who has seen this movie and is on the fence as to whether or not it was the best movie that they have ever seen: Tea Cha. The scamming teacher of the S.S.S. school of kung fu is all that the movie needs. Throw in Jackie Chan's acrobatics and high flying martial arts, and wow! Fans in search of a "good" movie such as Citizen Cane or Driving Miss Daisy should probably stay away, but anyone looking to laugh and be amazed must see The Fearless Hyena starring Jackie Chan.
