1. KUNG FU MOVIES
a. Master with Cracked Fingers
(1972)(aka Snake Fist Fighter and Cub Tiger from Canton)
UK release:Imperial. The most widely seen version is a re-edit of a dated kung fu flick in which a pre-eye and tooth job Jackie does the Bruce Lee bit.
b. New Fist of Fury
(1975)UK release:TransGlobal. Jackie proved once and for all that he was NOT the new Bruce Lee in this sequel helmed by original Fist director Lo Wei.
c. Shaolin Wooden Men
(1976)(aka Shaolin Chamber of Death)UK release:TransGlobal. JC,still preplastic surgery,proved himself a superb kung fu performer in this Shaw Brothers style actioner.
d. To Kill With Intrique
(1977)UK release:TransGlobal. JC's occasional outbursts of manic martial artistry are all that enliven this pedestrian period potboiler
e. Killer Meteor
(1977)UK release:TransGlobal. JC in the first of three films he would make for former One Armed Boxer Wang Yu. In this movie(get this!) he's the bad guy.
f. Magnificent Bodyguards
(1978)(aka The Magnificent Bodyguard) UK release:TransGlobal. Perhaps the only attemp ever at a 3-D kung fu flick,with JC's fast fist-work a more effective special effect.
g. Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin
(1978)UK release:TransGlobal. JC's back in Shaw Brothers territory in a traditional kung fu epic that allows him to throw forms, fast and furious.
h. Half a Loaf of Kung Fu
(1978)UK release:TransGlobal. Some inspired slapstick from JC in what amounts to Carry On Kung Fuing. Shot back-to-back with Snake and Crane.
i. Snake in the Eagle's Shadow
(1978)(aka Eagle's Shadow)UK release:Made in HK. The film that established comedy kung fu as the sub-genre of the early 80's. A genuine action classic.
j. Spiritual Kung Fu
(1978)(aka Karate Ghostbusters No, really..)UK release:TransGlobal.
Ghosts,gags 'n" gung fu in a flick that features furious fights but a bit dodgy.
k. A Dragon Fist
(1978)UK release:TransGlobal. The nearest JC has ever come to making a Fist of Fury-type flick. There's not a gag in sight as the dragon fist fighting Jackie takes vengence.
l. Drunken Master
(1978)UK release:Made in HK. The legend had it coming.....JC leaves the reputation of Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung in tatters after this hilarious retelling of the master's early years. A kung fu classic.
m. Fearless Hyena
(1979)UK release:TransGlobal. Jackie's directorial debut. A magical mix of mirth and martial artistry.
n. Young Master
(1980)UK release:Guild. Jackie's first film for Golden Harvest,and a long underrated mix of comedy and superb kung fu action.
o. Dragon Lord
(1982)UK release:Guild. Though a box office disappointment on its first relase,but there's still much to enjoy about Chan's last kung fu movies of the 80's.
p. Drunken Master 2
(1994)UK release:N/A. A long awaited power-packed kung fu flick. Starring Andy Lau,Anita Mui and Ti Lung from the Better Tomorrow's movie. Don't miss this one.
2. POLICE STORIES
a. First Mission
(1985)(aka a Heart of the dragon) A tear-jerker. A successful blend of drama and dynamism with Jackie and Samo Hung showing their stuff in roles that really challenge them.(br>
b. The Protecter
(1986)UK release:Warners. James Glickenhaus tried to turn Jackie into a "Dirty Jackie"supercop character. A hit but Jackie's core fan were disappointed.
c. Police Story
(1986)UK release:4Front Video. The film that the Protector probably should have been. The film's success is evident from the number of American actioners that have copied its stunts.
d. Police Story 2
(1988)UK release:4Front Video. A valiant effort but a film with poor structure that manages only intermittently to recapture the magic of the original. But worth seeing.
e. Police Story 3
(1992)UK release:Imperial. Jackie is teamed with Police Assassins heroine Michelle Khan. A surprise flop in HK but a hit everywhere else.
f. Crime Story
(1993)UK release:Imperial. A slick and gritty cop actioner from director Kirk Wong, based on a true story. Welcome change of pace for Jackie.
g. Police Story 4
(1995)(aka First Strike) Probably the movie that will stop the Americans from Not giving Jackie a chance in the US market. Really good action here, better than 007 in fact. Don't you dare miss this one or you will regret it for the rest of your life. A true Jackie action classic.
3. JACKIE`S OFFBEAT ODDITIES
a. Fantasy Mission Force
b. Battlecreek Brawl
c. Project A
d. Project A Part 2
