 The best handwork Jackie Chan has ever performed March 21, 2008

During an awesome opening tournament scene with Hsu Hsia taking on all comers, he gets killed, and his student played by Jackie Chan goes to take revenge. He goes with his master's wife and daughter to find the killer. But when he gets there, we find out that this man is very sorry for what he did. There's a bit more to the story, but I don't want to give it away. It's not a great story, but darker than most kung fu movies. I didn't see Jackie smile once. He gives a great acting performance, and an even better fighting performance. This is the most hate I have ever seen from Jackie. No comedy, he just tears people up with his awesome kung fu.
Yen Shi Kwan, Eagle Han Ying, James Tien and Chui Fat also star, and they all give fine performances. This is the best I have ever seen James Tien look next to his performance in Bone Crushing Kid. Jackie worked him really hard on this movie.
3.5/5
The Columbia Tristar DVD has awesome picture quality, a good sounding Chinese dub, and the original oldschool English dub (not one of those crappy dubs you hear sometimes). This version is cut, so if you want to see it uncut you should get the PAL Hong Kong Legends version.

I was very disappointed with the quality of the DVD, I love Dragon Fist saw in the theatre many moons ago and this very poor copy transfered to DVD is terrible. I couldn't even get through the second fight scene, it had tracking lines visible,the OCean SHores logo coming up every ten minutes. I had the video of this movie and could have done a better job with a copy because I actually took care of my videos. I would not recommend this terrible copy, especially for those who love the young Jackie Chan. That said, it's an very good movie, good fight scenes and actually a very good story line, don't expect to see comic releif this a drama compared to some of other Jackie's movies.
 Another crappy Lo Wei Jackie movie March 6, 2006
morgoth (omaha, NE)
This one really sucked, though the storyline isn't the worst, but the action just sucks. It starts out really good and we are treated to a tournament with 1 guy whoopin on everyone, but he dies and it just gets worse and worse. A lot of really crappy fights and then the end. The last fight might be good, but I don't even remeber this sucked so much. Like I said, decent story, but no execution whatsoever.
Very rare "good" early Jackie Chan flick February 9, 2006

Dragon Fist has very well done choregraphy. This is one of his good films with Lo Wei. Jackie was in good physical shape at the time of this movie so there is some pretty sweet acrobatics. His amazing choreography ability shows in every fight scene.
This DVD (Columbia Tristar) has cut the film from its original 95 minutes to 75 minutes. But to make up for it, it does have the original widescreen aspect ratio (2:35:1) and the original Cantonese audio with English subtitles. Although sometimes fight scenes will happen without any explaination, and you don't really get the WHOLE plot. But for the most part, you know what's going on.
EDIT: THe best DVD of this film is that of Hong Kong Legends. It has the whole movie UNCUT with the original dialogue, English subtitles, and original aspect ratio. However, it's out of print, but it's still being sold.
Horrible DVD! November 23, 2005

Although this Beverly Wilshire DVD of "Dragon Fist" is uncut, it his HORBBILE! It has bad dubbing, and horrible video quality. It looks like it came straight from a banged-up VHS tape.
Not only that, but Beverly-Wilshire claims that this version is "widescreen," but what they didn't tell you is that they took a full-screen version of "Dragon Fist" and then cut off the tops and bottoms of the screen to make it look like it's a "widescreen" picture.
Here is what I would do. Buy the Columbia/Tristar version. Their version is cut by about 20 minutes from it's original version, but at least it has the original language and the movie in it's original 2:35:1 aspect ratio. That way, you can see the whole fight scenes without anything cut off on the sides of the screen. Then, to get the whole story, buy the Simitar version. Their version is full screen but also UNCUT, and it has good picture quality (even though it has no subtitles and you have to watch it in English). But stay away from this Beverly Wilshire DVD at all costs!
