This is near the top of Jacki Chan's best fights. It's excellently done and extremely enjoyable.
A must-see for everyone, especially for casual kung fu films viewers.


The featured attraction is a generous rooftop duel between Chan and two young thugs played by Ron Smoorenburg and Kwan Yeung. Both provide Jackie with a good workout. Ron’s legwork is particularly impressive, although he doesn’t seem to quite match Jackie for speed or power. But anyone who has worked with Jackie probably knows that its easier said than done since only his experienced stunt team are really trained to match his screen fighting rhythm.

IMDB

This film isn't reviewed on Kung Fu Cinema, which astounded me because the fight between Jacki Chan and Bradley James Allan is a very good one. There is some great humor incorporated into the fight and it is nicely choreographed with some fast sparring and good leg-works, though the use of wire is sometimes too blatant and ineffective, thankfully it doesn't occur too often.
Another complaint is that Jacki Chan was doubled in some scenes, as you can see below. But that's understandable since he wasn't in top form anymore. Still it's sad to see that such a legendary stuntman now has to use stuntmen for himself.

Overall I find this to be an extremely enjoyable fight. It's good, it's funny and and completely violence-free. No hate, no desire to kill, this is only a competition to see who is the best fighter. Its good spirit makes for a nice change from all the violent fights we usually see in movies.
