Battle Creek Brawl [DVD]

Great original production

Good Jackie Chan film with a good mix of story and fighting. Seen before years ago and wasn’t disappointed watching it again, as good as I remember.

Many many years ago I went to the pictures to see this and forgotten just how much fun and enjoying this movie was

Another brilliant movie blue ray jackie chan is brilliant

I remember seeing this film in 1980 on its release in the UK. Released as ' The Big Brawl' with an AA certificate. It was the first real chance that British audiences got to see Jackie Chan in action. I had already heard of his amazing ability through a friend who had seen ' Drunken Master' at a Chinese cinema club and eagerly anticipated seeing Jackie in ' The big Brawl' on national release. At the time I really enjoyed it and was impressed with Jackie Chan's acrobatic ability. On seeing the film again on DVD I can understand why Jackie was disappointed with this film. In the interview featured on the special features section, Chan expresses a lot of anger over the production and not being able to have full control over the choreography, and it clearly shows in the film itself. Jackie himself appears to be slower compared to his Hong Kong productions although the acrobatics are as always top notch. Directed by Robert Clouse ( Enter the Dragon) the films plot is wafer thin and is really just one punch up after another. Clouse never managed to replicate the success of ' ETD' and never fully appreciated the talents of Jackie Chan or chose to utilize them. Now the DVD itself. The print of the film is quite grainy and sometimes soft in appearance. It doesn't look its been restored at all.. And as another reviewer commented it does appear to be a cut version which is surprising for a Hong Kong legends release. The double ear clap ( which I remember on the video version) is definitely missing from this 15 certificate release. If your new to Jackie Chan and want something with a international flavor without dubbing then this is not a bad start but check out the classic ' Drunken master' first.

an absolute delight to watch old school movies worth every pennyperfect films funny classic movies great price to

Great film but disappointed with this blu-ray, I have this film on dvd and the quality is the same I cant tell the difference, the film was made in 1980, I got the texas chainsaw massacre 1974 and that quality is great
