Film icon Jackie Chan stars in and co-directed (with Chia-Liang Liu) this legendary action film. Filled with perfectly choreographed fight scenes that leave the audience breathless and amazed, this film stands out in Chan’s impressive filmography. In turbulent China before World War I, the collapse of the Manchu Dynasty fuels violent uprisings and political chaos–the perfect setting for a grand-scale smuggling ring led by an unscrupulous British consul. When the ring plots to steal China’s crown jewels only one man–legendary “Drunken Fist” master Huang Fei-hung (Chan)–possesses the courage and ferocity to stop the ruthless gang. “Chan has always seemed like a silent-screen virtuoso self-catapulted into modern times.” – Jessica Winter, Village Voice
