This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View Morethe fearless hyena is a classic of martial arts cinema as jackie chan takes everything that made 'snake in the eagles shadow' and 'drunken master' big hits, and directed his own martial arts comedy, plot line sees jackie chan out for the revenge of his grandfather's murder and there are fight scenes and laughs aplenty as jackie chan does his things, but the most impressive thing for me was the brilliant training/workout scenes, witch really show the physical strength of jackie chan. as a first time director chan is easily as good as yuen woo ping, while the movie does lack the polished look of drunken master. the fearless hyena is definitely the second best jackie chan movies of the seventies but i think it's also one of the best martial arts movies of all time as well.
View MoreI've seen many of his films, and though the standard of his early works are good, this falls at the lower end.The story is somewhat muddled, maybe thats because I watched the dubbed version. One thing is for sure, this film sure does have some of the longest fight scenes I've ever seen in any martial arts movie. Good or bad, you decide.The finale battle wasn't very climatic, the best scenes were probably when he is training with his second master, the scene with the chopsticks and the big pots.Overall fairly decent, but his better stuff like young master blows this away
View MoreThis 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.
View MoreThis movie, in my opinion, was not that good. In fact, I thought it was pretty awful. In the version I saw, they dubbed Jackie Chan with an Irish guy. He had long hair that made him look bad. And the plot wasn't that good, either.If you want a good Jackie Chan movie, stay away from this.
