I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: I think Jackie Chan's pre-Drunken Master movies are pure gold. Not for the same reasons that make'Drunken Master' and following movies gold, but gold nonetheless. 'Half a Loaf of Kung Fu' is rather gold. I swear, the more the 70s kung-fu movies I watch, the easier it becomes to watch them, and the more I like them and wish to seek out more. Now there's a scary thought...I missed the name of Chan's character here. In fact, I missed most, if not all, of the character's names in this movie. Actually, I missed most of the plot too. Actually... Plot? What plot? I still can't figure out what this was actually about, and there no identifiable threads running in the plot other than the evil-witch and the treasure she wants to steal.'Half a Loaf of Kung Fu' is very funny movie, and I'm sure Chan was trying to spoof kung-fu films. It probably would have worked had other kung-fu movies of the time not been sillier that 'Half a Loaf...' in the first place. The fight scenes are credible enough to maintain interest when the plot-apparent lags. 'Half a Loaf...' does drag on a bit at times, especially when it just gets to ridiculous. It probably could have been shorter, and much more entertaining for it.It isn't the best of 70s kung-fu movies, but it is by no means the worst. Jackie Chan fans might get a kick out of this, as would others looking for something to laugh at - 6/10

believe it or not, this was my first chan experiance. i was delighted at how they mixed humor and action. but 15 years later, i rewatched it, only to find it wasnt nearly as good as his newer(or older) films. i would like to take these last few lines to say that Jackie Chan is the man and no one could ever be as good as he is. thank you, and good night.

"Jackie Chan plays the part of Jiang, an orphan who is neither good in the literary nor the martial arts. Nevertheless, he's a happy-go-lucky fellow with an amiable personality. Saintly beggar Mao, who was a Kung Fu Master, is impressed by Jiang's earnest demeanor and takes Jiang in as a student. Liang joins the Sern Chuan Bodyguards, who have been entrusted with the task of escorting the priceless Evergreen Jade to safekeeping. Outnumbered by an army of ruthless highwaymen, the Sern Chuan sustain heavy losses during their long and grueling journey. Undaunted, Jiang refuses to admit defeat, and with only the spirit of Mao to guide him, singlehandedly defeats the enemy horde."I don't blame Jackie Chan for finding a new contract after this movie. In the movie, his name was misspelled as 'Jacky Chan'.Best Quote: "It's my Kung Fu. It's no good for anything, except laughs."Worst Quote: "If I'm lying to you, then I'm a SOB." Best New Fighting Technique Introduced: the Concubine

This is not so bad as other garbage Kung-Fu films of his 70's but it seems nobody didn't wanna make this film. Even Jackie looks playing irresponsibly both on acting and action this time. This may be a comedy film but it's so hard to laugh with this. Try this with your friends or whole family and enjoy a chill falls on the company.Soon after this one, Jackie made a new contract with bigger company and started to make his film all by himself as he wants to do with far big budget.Maybe he didn't wanna make this kind of 70's styled cheap Kung-Fu films anymore.And he was right -- if he kept doing this kinda shabby film,there would be no chance to "RUSH HOUR" exists in 90's.
