Wong Tai-Kwong doesn't know much about martial arts and seems doomed to a life of getting beaten up by martial artists. In order to protect himself Wong enrolls in a Kung Fu school but ends up spending most of his time cleaning the floors instead of learning martial arts. One day however while carrying water from the river Wong meets a drunken hermit who eventually becomes his Kung Fu teacher - and teaches him the "36 styles" of Kung Fu that eventually lead him to victory over a series of deadly fighters. 36 Crazy Fists features the direction and fight choreography of the master himself Jackie Chan who also has a cameo role in the film as a stunt coordinator.System Requirements: Running Time 90 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â SPORTS/GAMES/MIXED MARTIAL ARTS Rating:Â NR UPC:Â 787364418992 Manufacturer No:Â 44189-9

Summary: Yen Shi-kwan barely makes this horrible movie worth watching
Comment: The story is not worth going over. This is easily one of the most boring kung fu movies ever. One of the best kickers in cinema history Tony Leung Siu Hung stars as a young man who is trying to learn kung fu. The fights are pretty good, but there is not nearly enough of them. Fung Hak-on has a good cameo using a chain rope, and Lau Ga-yung from 'Dragon Claws' does some decent work. The best part about this movie is the final fight with Yen Shi-kwan. It goes on for well over 10 minutes but barely manages to save this horrible movie.
1.5/5
The version I have is from Groundzero and has watchable picture quality. It is under the title 'The Master and the Boxer'. Included on the disc are bonus clips from other Groundzero movies and some cool lost IFD trailers.

Summary: RIP OFF... BEWARE OF THIS FILM
Comment: As some of the other viewers have already noted... this film does not star Jackie Chan (however, he did direct it). The movie is actually pretty good- but I am here to tell you that this (Brentwood Home Video) copy is horrible. You can even see people walking in front the screen during certain parts- the images are cut off due to it being filmed directly from a TV screen. Vintage Video released the same film in "Jackie Chan- Triple Punch Collection". The box set is cheap and the transfer is actually a trasfer- not a video of a TV screen. The quality is still low, but acceptable considering it is not digitally remastered. It is ashame that Amazon carries Brentwood- they should rethink carrying such a shady company. (Just so you know- the triple punch is not that great of a deal, the second movie "fantasy mission" is ridiculously poor by any standards).
All the above aside- the film should get some credit- it is not the fault of Hua Chen that his movie was pirated and deviously marketed. The movie IS good, the surrounding context is what makes this a rip off.

Summary: Jackie Chan Directs
Comment: Martial arts direction by the master. Worth the price for great action!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not a Jackie Chan Film!!!
Comment: Do not believe the cover of the movie. This is not a Jackie Chan movie. You see him in a behind the scenes bit in the beginning, but that's it. As far as the movie itself, I've only seen it once and it wasn't good enough for me to not get so easily distracted from it. I can't really remember too much about it anymore. Not memorable.
