Le Poing de la vengeance

That's the answer you are looking for to...should I watch this.

I have watched a lot of JC movies some good, some great, some horrible.

This is a good one for sure. I was lucky enough to enjoy a remastered version which really enhanced the viewing experience (some of the original prints available for this era of JC movies are hard to watch).

The story is ok and the acting quite good. To note, this is action/drama JC NOT funny silly JC, so your preference will impact how you take this film. I prefer the more serious of JC (The Protector, Police Story/s etc).

Grab some popcorn, get you ears ready for the sound effects of 50,000 punches and have fun :)

Jackie Chan's master is dead, so he travels with their survivors. But when they come to a new town, he finds himself -- and them -- caught in the middle of a feud between a clan and gangsters.

This came out after SNAKE IN THE EAGLE'S SHADOW and DRUNKEN MASTER, so it looks like a reversion to a safe but standard formula. Actually it was filmed before, which makes me think they rushed the other movies out, or perhaps this was shelved until Chan's suddenly risen star made its release commercial. There may be a tendency to denigrate it because it isn't the comedic Chan, but that, I feel, would be an error. I think it can be enjoyed for what it is, another highly competent film by director Wei Lo.

We all gotta be careful in what 70's Jackie movies we watch, but this one certainly isn't bad. The plot has something to do with Jackie's master being killed. There actually is a mildly shocking twist (shocking for Jackie, but don't expect Usual Suspects here). Anyway, the kung-fu is very good, definitely up to snuff. Jackie is good, and there's scenes where the old men fight. Even the dubbing isn't horrible. Very good overall, but Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin is better (even though it has an awkward title) if you're looking for something from this era. I gave it a 7.

Jackie has done another good old movie. This film has alot of action and the end is action packed too. This film is fun. This film is great for a person that doesn't know which Jackie Chan's old film to see. This film has the revenge your master's death plot. But otherwise the film is action packed with one or two funny parts. "Wei Lo" was the director again. He always makes Jackie films look good on tv. And Jackie kicks but at the end of the movie. Thats classic. So go rent or buy today.

Lo Wei, director of Bruce Lee classics The Big Boss and Fist Of Fury saw potential in Jackie Chan and cast him in several kung fu flicks, including this great film, Dragon Fist. With Bruce Lee gone way too soon and martial arts movies being more popular than ever film makers from east and west scrambled to replace him. Jackie Chan is in rare form as an invincible Bruce Lee type of bad ass. He is on a mission of revenge once his teacher was killed and disgraced by a leader of a rival school. Things get complicated when Chan, his master's widow and daughter arrive at the rival school. I'm not going to give away too much of the plot, but things don't end up all that peachy and all of the violence contains consequences. During this period the market was flooded with similar kung fu films, so Chan found success later with Drunken Master and other lighthearted kung fu comedies. He did a great job here though I think. Jackie was awesome as indestructible, kung fu iron man that becomes fury incarnate at the film's conclusion. Lo Wei also made a well paced, solid chop sockey film with a good story serviced with the right amount of kung fu action. Great kung fu!
