O Jovem Tigre

Version: English dub

Police Woman - What police woman? Rumble in Hong Kong - what rumble? Young Tiger - is he the taxi driver? Where's Jackie Chan? Who is Jacky Chan? Is he that guy who looks like Jackie Chan, but has a mole the size of large rodent on his face? So many questions, such a bad movie.

A female ex-gang member dies in taxi, and leaving behind a purse. The gang she used to belong to is looking for the purse, as is the Police Woman, who actually plays the side-kick to the taxi driver, who is the real hero of the movie. Wow. Jackie plays the gangs second-in-command, and frequently gets beaten up in his role as a thug.

Pretty boring movie overall. Boring fight scenes, bad dubbing, bad DVD transfer. The shining point of the movie is when the taxi driver and his buddies are talking about social values, arguing that 'the kids watch too many violent movies these days'. It might explain the lack of decent action.

3/10 - Don't watch this movie, unless you want to see Jackie Chan as a bad guy, or before he became a star - in that respect its much better than say, 'Eagle Shadow Fist'.

I only saw this when I was round a friend's house a few years ago. I had to restrain myself from falling asleep.

The plot was rubbish, the dubbing was among the worst I'd ever seen, the acting was rank and the whole story was a bore. Its only redeeming feature is seeing Jackie as a baddie, and even that's not enough to save it from the mire.

All Jackie Chan fans - STEER WELL CLEAR OF THIS ONE!

Well all i can say is that this had the worst dubbing in movie history, if you see it i am sure you will know what i mean. The movie was bad but no extremely bad, there was some okay action between Jackie Chan and Charlie Chin, yes it was nice to see Jackie as a bad guy, but not with a stupid mole on his face the size of a football. The story was incredibly pointless, and all the titles are misleading, the police woman has a small part, and has NOOOOO comparison to rumble in the bronx. Chan fans may want to see him on the other side of the badge, but anyone else do not see this, even if you like Chan be prepared for a terrible film with average action.

I love watching some of Jackie Chans old movies. They usually have great action sequences, but not this one!!!! I had to force myself to actually finish it. It was so weird to see him as a bad guy, and he had this big hairy mole on his face. I mean, what's the deal with that? He was hardly even in it, and was not the main character. I also think his name is all over the box just because of his fame. Usually when watching his old films I usually can look past the fact that it's low budget, but this one I could not. It was really bad quality. The only thing I really found funny was seeing all of them run around in bell bottoms, and that chezzy 70's music in the background. So whatever you do, if you want to watch a good Jackie Chan movie DO NOT watch Rumble in Hong Kong.

Well, one could hardly complain about renting what I thought it was a Jackie Chan movie entitled 'Young Tiger' on the DVD Cover. Once, I realized it wasn't, I watched it anyway. I was kind of worried in the opening scenes where the picture quality and dubbing was really poor, and the fight sequences even worse. The DVD cover is called 'Young Tiger', but the title on the film was 'Rumble in Hong Kong' (even, the marketing folks can't make up their minds), and apparently it's called 'Police Woman' here. Can't understand that choice because her character wasn't the main one.

Jackie (or Jacky) Chan plays the 2IC in a nasty street gang and he's mainly a supporting character, as his purpose is to torment our hero; the cab driver who wants to make the streets safe and is caught in a bad situation. Some ex-female member of the gang dies in his cab, and the gang are searching for a purse she had. She is related to the "Police Woman" character who assists the cabbie. The gang think the poor cabbie has got the purse. Anywho, what follows is an endless array of bad fight scenes and people talking off-camera. It's pretty bad, even for it's day 30 years ago. There is some unnecessary social commentary in there too. Hard to judge properly because the quality of transfer, and the dubbing were awful, but even so, I don't think this film was the great to begin with. If you are a Jackie Chan film fan, this film in 'Young Tiger' or whatever is a piece of crap banking on his success. I doubt it would have seen the light of day otherwise as a DVD in Australia.

*½ out of *****!
