Reviews:

surprisingly good dramatic ‘fu film
This is actually a well made film. because of that, I doubt very highly that it was directed by Lo Wei. My vote is that Chan, once allowed to choreograph the fight scenes, just went ahead and directed the film, much as what happened with Bruce Lee and The Chinese Connection, another film claimed by Lo Wei that he didn’t actually direct. In fact that’s pretty typical for Lo Wei – probably half the films he made were directed by the actors while he was off gambling, drinking, or sleeping it off.

At any rate: Although the film is heavy handed and a little slow, the story is not without interest (this is one of the few ‘fu films where we see a potential villain repent and become a good guy), and the performances are all above standard for this genre in the mid-’70s. I believe this film, I believe its characters. Certaily not a masterwork, but a worthwhile dramatic ‘fu film.

Oh, and the fight scenes are all pretty good.

Jackie Chan gets serious!!!
Tang looks after his master’s family who was murdered after a fight. The master’s widow is also poisoned by an evil gang leader. Tang joins hand with Chung, a friend, and seeks revenge for her death.

This is Jackie Chan’s rare non-comic role, where he emotes more, is quite intense and angry, and though I do prefer his buffoonery ways, it’s a pleasant change as Dragon fist is very much a story laden Kung fu film that marries the standard plot with a sort of offbeat tone, the latter is brought on by the fact that Chan’s nemesis early on in the film repents and cuts off his leg out of guilt; when watching this I thought it would be a typical “you killed my master, so I’ll will you” but I was wrong, so in that sense Dragon Fist tries to be a bit less predictable in its approach. The acting all around is great, the fight scenes less acrobatic and more hard-edged, the cinematography is top notch, however, the pace can be slow, and the extreme air of austerity can threaten to make you yawn. Only just, though, as the excellent Kung fu and twisty plot keeps you watching. The ending is quite intense.
