Chan has always seemed like a silent-screen virtuoso self-catapulted into modern times.

The extended fight scenes [have been] justly hailed by aficionados as classics of the genre.

Um dos melhores filmes da carreira de Chan e a comprovação definitiva de que ele é o resultado de uma combinação improvável (e maravilhosa) de Buster Keaton, Gene Kelly e Bruce Lee.

At long last, the American masses will get a glimpse of what Jackie Chan can really do.

I'm extremely unhappy when one of my HK favorites is re-released, re-titled and re-packaged as an English-dubbed Jackie Chan vehicle for American audiences to ostensibly enjoy.

Among the most breathtakingly wonderful acts of physical endurance and grace that I have ever seen.

If you're looking to have a really wild time, this is the film to see.

The Legend of Drunken Master is pure entertainment and proves that Jackie Chan is indeed a cinematic icon.

There can be little doubt that Drunken Master 2 is one of the greatest martial arts films ever made.

This imported and dubbed Jackie Chan fossil might be a kick for diehard fans, but most will be left feeling high and dry.

If you've never seen a martial arts movie, this is the one to start with.
