Rating:  - Jackie's first american movie
Jackie's first attempt to break into the American market, his english is not the best in this movie. The action is horrid- very slow and choppy- not the typical action you'd expect from Jackie. Clearly, the American director and stunt choreographers were not familiar with Jackie's abilities and style, and the film suffers because of it. Well, that and the fact that the plot is really flat and stupid. It is fun to watch Jackie on roller skates, though, and if you are a huge fan this movie is worth ... Read More
Rating:  - jackie chan vs. big wrestlers in 1st U.S. movie
I saw this w/"enter the dragon" in the theater yrs ago and "Brawl" was just as good, today I'd say it is better because of its originality. There are no other big budget movies featuring wrestlers, roller skating, gangsters, comedy and kung fu all in one movie especially taking place in the 1940's. No speeding up the film for the fights here(unlike jackie's hong kong films), still Chan is very fast and outmaneuvering everyone including some monster sized wrestlers. Mako and Chan keep the laughs ... Read More
Rating: - Battle creek Brawl
this is a renamed movie. the original name was "The Big Brawl" this is the first Jackie Chan movie made with an American production team. the story is different and the premise is interesting. this has been a favorite Jackie Chan movie for me but it has always been had to find. i was very happy to see finally available in dvd. even with the name change.
Rating:  - Old but still good
This, "The Protector", and "Jackie Chan's Police Force" were the first Jackie Chan films I saw as a kid. Granted the other two were better films (especially "Police Force"), but I really liked the humor in the film. The story was good and Jackie was funny as always and Mako (his uncle) was funny too. The action was toned down quite a bit for a Jackie chan movie not as fast paced or as hard hitting, but over all it was enjoyable. Just remember this was one of his first movies here.
Rating:  - Jackie's first American Venture
Jackie Chan's first American venture was the result of Golden Harvest keeping Jackie out of harm's way and to try to push Jackie internationally. When Chan broke contract with Lo Wei for Golden Harvest and five million HK dollars, Lo wanted to do everything he could to get Jackie back (or punish him) even deal with the Triad group Sun Yi On to do this. Jimmy Wang Yu, whom Jackie worked with in The Killer Meteors and had Triad influence, offered to broker a deal between the three parties. He would later ... Read More
