Watch Jackie Chan Kung Fu Master For Free

An Exercise In Nonsense

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I saw this film under the title JACKIE CHAN & THE KUNG FU KID. It's a Chinese propaganda piece, shot in Beijing, and designed to pass on ideals of behaviour to 'educate' audiences. Thus the tale is about an obnoxious 15 year old boy who mistreats his family and friends in a bid to meet up with his all-time favourite star, Jackie Chan. Inevitably he learns some important life lessons along the way, not least from Jackie himself.I suppose 2009 must have marked the year that Jackie became heavily involved with the Chinese government. I notice that this film was put out by the Beijing-based Children's Film Studio, which has been making propaganda films for children since the 1980s. The story of the film isn't so bad but the execution is; this is a very cheap production barely above the Z-grade shot-on-video level.The main characters are all very dull and their acting abilities limited. The moralising is so heavy-handed as to be off-putting. Jackie himself gets to take part in a few fight scenes, but rather unforgivably he appears to be doubled more than a few times, which is a definite no-no for fans of the martial artist. My favourite scene is a nice cameo from old-timer Jackie co-star Yuen Wah, playing himself.

When I bought this movie from Amazon it was under the impression of it actually being a Jackie Chan movie. Be warned though, that this is not a usual Jackie Chan movie at all, he is in it, sure, but as a guest actor only.And to make matters worse, the DVD is titled "Jackie Chan & the Kung Fu Kid", and the movie cover here on IMDb is titled "Kung Fu Master", but in reality the movie is titled "Looking For Jackie Chan". What is up with these lame alterations of movie titles? Sure I can understand the movie company's attempt to cash in on the popularity of the remake of "The Karate Kid", but this is just downright outrageous and scandalous. It suckers people into buying the movie under false pretenses.Anyway, the story in "Looking For Jackie Chan" is about young Chinese boy Zhang Yi-Shan who is going to school in Indonesia, bullied by classmates and failing classes, he sets out on a quest to go to Beijing, China, and seek out Jackie Chan in order to become his disciple and learn Kung Fu from him."Looking For Jackie Chan" is sort of a family type movie, but I assume that you have to be a Chinese family to fully appreciate this movie. I, as a Westerner, found the story to be adequate, though I felt cheated with the fake movie title on the DVD cover.The DVD cover said, and I quote, "essential for any Chan fans". Well, I will have to put a big question mark at that statement. This is hardly a Jackie Chan movie. He just have a small supporting guest role. This is the story of a boy's journey, of coming to terms with himself, the world around him, respecting himself and his elders, and a sort of rites of passage movie. Hardly an essential Chan movie.I am not saying that the movie in itself is bad, just don't sit down to watch it with expectations of it being a traditional Jackie Chan movie, and don't actually expect to see a lot of him on the screen. Watch it for what it is, a family movie about a boy setting out to find his idol, and that's it.

we never found him! he's missing in action! is Jackie Chan that desperate to accept a movie without any sense at all? the action scenes didn't even help salvage the whole movie! I felt like I was trying to solve some Chinese arithmetic problem just to squeeze out any good in this film.please save yourself from wasting time and money! stay away from this film! the only thing this movie did to me was add more sins in my life like cursing, cursing, cursing and cursing.what a way to rip off people! at the beginning of the first scenes, i was soooooo worried because the fight scenes were horrible. but then it gave me a slight hope when it just turned out to be a "film shoot" of Jackie Chan. while going through the movie, I realized the first scenes were actually the best ones compared to the entire film! I was just hoping the lady cop or the cigarette vendor who helped the kid has a lustful taste for the boy just have some sense of "Ooohhh"ness

No matter how arty-farty people claim to be, this movie is a total disgrace, and Jackie should be ashamed of himself for letting the 'media' machine (ab)use his name and presence to promote this movie.First: The English Title (Jacky.. Kung Fu Master) is totally misleading. Worse still, the movie artwork, showing Jackie in a martial-arts costume and pose, along with a historical war scene below is a blatant deception of what the movie is about.Those 2 pictures are actually 'stills' of an acting scene acted out by some 'minor' characters in the movie (yes, Jackie is a minor character), and have nothing to do with the plot.Even that taken aside, the movie is unrealistic, disjointed, unreasonable, and worst of all achieves no closures for many of the scenes in the movie.*Spoilers* a 16 yr old 'high-school' student is bullied at school, idolises Jacky Chan, and wants to be Jacky's kung-fu student so that he can beat up his school mates. --- Come on; a 16 yr old boy? He would have matured enough to know... ... 1st, learning Kung Fu takes years!!!.. by the time he is any good, all his school friends will probably have families!!!. --- the sad thing is, in the beginning our 16yr main character was already top of his local martial arts school, and is favoured by his kung fu teacher. That should be enough to beat up his bullying friends.He travels to China to find Jackie... ends up at some monastry where he meets a young female monk, who doubles as a kung fu actress wanabe, as a movie was being filmed near by. He also gets kidnapped and held hostage, meets a female cop whose life he ends up saving, and in doing so misses meeting up with Jackie. His Grand-mother then meets Jackie (a 16yr old boy travels all the way from Indonesia with a passion to meet Jackie can't... yet his Grandmother, easily waltzes into the VIP area looking for the toilet... meets Jackie) and begs Jackie to meet her Grandson.They meet up, and Jacky says, "Go home, study more and when you pass your Chinese language class... I'll take you as my deciple."--- The End ---What a joke!!! Don't waste your time. I was exercising on my bike, and my eyes were in more pain than my legs after this movie.
