Snake - I really enjoyed the comedy in this film, Jackie Chan never disappoints as a comedic actor. The more exaggerated style of martial arts really fits in with a more comedic style. One thing it has is personality and its certainly fun to watch Jackie Chan fight In this.

Wickle - Jackie Chan appears As more than a child I should say. Well, he appears as a bratty youth who sits there cocky as hell, beats up some people while gets his ass kicked by others, acts with no responsibility and whines a lot. Granted, I highly doubt were supposed to like him anyway, were supposed to long for the actual drunken fighting that we do end up learning and then the movie is done Well, except for the one assassin being beat. Still, such a classic I still was left enjoying it despite hating our main character.

JONA - It's definitely interesting to see Jackie Chan in more of a goofball role and he's quite good at it. There's some good comedy and it's really great to watch the unorthodox style that inspired so much.

scarlet - Chan's lead isn't all that likeable, but the choreography is nice and the film's fast pace keeps it pretty entertaining. I enjoy Chans style of physical comedy and that keeps this film afloat.

Johnbobb - Man this fucking movie and its Traverse Town training music. Jackie Chan is far and away one of the most universally likable people in the world. The way he dominates his fight scenes is constantly delightful. Hes barely fighting, moreso just playing with the environment. Theres not a whole lot of plot going on here; its mostly just goofing off, fighting, training, fighting, repeat until the end of the movie. Thats not that bad of a thing though, because Chan is hilarious.

Karo - A long time ago in ancient China (around the 1960's), an unruly young man gets sent by his father to train under the great kung fu master So Hai, who teaches him how to gain superpowers from alcohol poisoning. Much ass is thus kicked. They hadn't really gotten the Jackie Chan formula down right at this point, and the humor in the film feels far too juvenile and unrefined. Fart jokes, really?

Inviso - Ah, the first Jackie Chan movie I watch (although apparently he was a child actor in Come Drink With Me), and its a good showcase of just how much of a goofball he is. I mean, Ive seen several of his later movies where hes acting in American movies, and he works well in a comedic role. Granted, I watched a dub version and the dubbed VA for Jackie was TERRIBLE. Likeholy shit its like playing FFX all over again. Lets than that though, the movie is fine. Its fast and fun and its got Jackie acting in a comedic role as hes kind of a cocky douchebag who learns some discipline under a drunken kung fu master. Butthere really isnt a solid central plot. Jackie learns drunken kung fu because hes a douche, but its not until like, 15 minutes are left in the movie that we actually learn how the plot is going to conclude. It concludes when 70s porn JONA is hired to assassinate Jackies dad over some land dispute. Yeahthe plot is super fucking thin, but Jackies comedy makes up for it enough I guess.
