Honestly so much fun, probably the funniest English dubs I’ve ever seen too, completely elevates this from being a fun kung-fu movie to being a hilarious comedy.
Loved the growth of Jackie’s character in this, Beggar So character is very well designed, and man did Jackie look utterly ripped in this. What a blast!
One of those films that I knew I’d love but for some reason put off watching for years and years. Now that I’ve seen it, the wait was worth it!
Some of the best stunts ever put to film, it even had a stunt so good they gave you two instant replays lol. Jackie Chan does it better than anyone ever could, and then he’s also writing and directing this too? Unreal.

Caught this on 16mm film, my first time ever seeing something projected in that way, and what an experience. Watching film be projected the way it was supposed to is just fantastic.
To go along with that, we have probably one of the best comedies of the 20th century. Two utterly pitch perfect characters performed by two powerhouse actors. Actually felt that Ryan O’Neal was brilliant and deserved to win the Oscar alongside his daughter.
Visually interesting, amazing script, wonderfully directed. Probably a film that if you watch it in 300 years time it’ll still hit the same.
