Standard kung-fu movie; a young man (Chan) sees his grandfather killed and vows revenge. A mostly nondescript movie, save for a couple of decent fight sequences (including one with Jackie in drag), but of interest only because this is Chan's first stint as a director. Puzzlingly, this film made much more money than the far superior Drunken Master.

RATING: 3.5

A horrible, horrible film. Chan got so pissed at Lo's inept direction that he walked off halfway through filming, but Lo finished anyway, using a stunt double and unused footage from the first film. The plot has something to do about two brothers getting revenge on a gang for killing their dad. Even diehard Chan fans should avoid this one.

RATING: 0.5
