I had to watch the movie twice because I missed a key connection at the beginning. Even catching on to the connection, portions of the movie remain a bit murky and the plot flow is somewhat jerky. The movie begins with The (Evil) Master and his henchmen chasing after three individuals. One of these individuals has an injured leg and escapes thanks to the self-sacrifice of the other two individuals, both of whom are killed.

We immediately jump to a long-haired, young Jacky Chan (yes, that's the way it was spelled in the credits) performing some sort of practice Kung-Fu routine for his grandfather. From this point forward, the movie plays like The Three Kung-Fu Stooges. I have to admit that as bad as the acting and the dubbing was, I laughed throughout this portion of the movie because it was funny. It was stupid, but it was funny too. The dubbing is atrocious, with weird English accents for each of the Chinese actors. This movie could definitely use a re-dub.

I enjoyed the martial arts throughout this movie because they all appeared real. I cringed when the actors fought, because when they hit each other, they HIT EACH OTHER! I can see where there had to have been a lot of bruises after each day of filming. There was nothing fake about any of the fight scenes. The actors' martial arts skills were very, very good. However, the "elderly" martial artists looked like 20-something actors with white hair and eyebrows.

We see Jackie's character as he goes through this interlude of comedy until The Master shows up and, by connecting the sign at Jackie's Kung Fu school to Jackie's grandfather, tracks him down and kills him. There isn't really any justification given for tracking down and killing these people by The Master, so we have to accept on faith that there is some sort of vendetta or history we are not privy to. Jackie tries to kill The Master, but of course does not. Instead Jackie encounters The Unicorn, who has a gimpy leg (recalling the beginning of this review). The Unicorn teaches Jacky a number of tricks and some really serious martial arts to go off and wreak vengeance on The Master and his henchmen.

This movie is corny, the acting is weak and often excessively overdone, and the plot is formulaic. However, it is still funny, and somehow it all works. As long as you aren't expecting a serious Kung-Fu movie, and as long as you are expecting very light entertainment, and particularly if you are a fan of Jackie Chan, you might find this movie interesting. Three stars because of the flaws, but I still like the movie and plan to watch it again.
