Jackie Chan showcases an artfulness that’s not typical of most Kung-Fu films of the era, especially in his camerawork and choreography — namely with the hilarious chopstick duel. Go to Full Review

DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD 3d At its core, The Fearless Hyena is an overly familiar traditional kung fu revenge story, but, being that this is Jackie Chan's directorial debut, you get the added treat of watching him figure himself out in real time. Showcasing his own brand of charm, naivety and bravado in a film that blends traditional martial arts storytelling with the comedic, expressive style that would later define his career. Unfortunately, it seems he hasn’t fully freed himself from Lo Wei quite yet, as there is a lot of Wei's influence still present; as it's clear this wasn't a big-budget or heavily refined production, Wei's writing is more prevalent than Chan's. But there’s definitely a charm in that roughness; it feels scrappy, personal and driven by a creative ambition of expression, so while The Fearless Hyena isn’t Jackie's best film, it is an important one, less about perfection and more about watching the blueprint of something great being built.

See more Carlos Taiti Y @RT25138031 Jul 4 Filme: A Vingança do Dragão Assistido: Elenco: @jackiechan James Tien, Dean Shek, Wai Lau Chen, Shi-kwan Yen, Lee Kwan, Peng Kang Modelo: #artesmarciais #kungfu #ação Duração: 1h 38m Ano: 1979 Minha opinião: Jackie Chan tem uma extensa filmografia com mais de 100 filmes e ainda não parou. A Nova Fúria do Dragão (76), Dragão de Aço (76), A Lâmina da Morte (76), Golpes Mortais (76), 36 Golpes Mortais (77), A Marca do Dragão (77), Garras do Dragão (78), Magnificent Bodyguard (78), Punhos de Serpente (78), O Mestre Invencível (78), O Templo do Dragão (78), Half A Loaf of Kung Fu (78), The Fearless Hyena (79), Os Punhos do Dragão (79), Quebrando Limites (79), O Jovem Mestre do Kung Fu (80), Dragon Lord (82), A Saga do Dragão (83), Saga do Dragão (83). Estes são os filmes base de Jackie, até que depois destes ele começa uma nova fase até estourar com Projeto A (83), Police History (85), na Ásia e depois fama EUA e o Mundo. A receita deste filme e o mesmo do genero. Onde tem o mestre mal que quer ser o maior e para deve vencer a todos. aí temos um pequeno bastardo (Jackie) que luta mais ou menos, e quando vê seu tutor ser morto, ele quer vingança e para isso treina para vence-lo. E aqui o mesmo inimigo de Drunk Masters. Shi-Kwan Yen. Com um Kung-fu raiz. Vale apena assistir? sim para os fãs de Jackie e do belo #faixapreta que passava nas madrugadas da Band a muito tempo atrás. Nota: 8 See more Sameir A @RT21611577 11/18/2021 Jackie Chan's writing and directorial debut. It is obvious that he was heavily influenced by Bruce Lee films, but, some Jackie Chan signature added to it makes it unique. Nothing much about the story, but it was a show case of Jackie's physical abilities and how he can blend Kung Fu with comedy. Pretty good. See more 09/20/2020 Aunque encomiable su primer trabajo como director, y teniendo alguna otro momento brillante (de acción y humor), Hiena Salvaje está muy lejos de ser de lo mejor de Jackie Chan See more 06/15/2020 The unobtrusive boilerplate plot about a student seeking revenge for his murdered teacher merely serves as a pretext for Jackie's utterly original brand of kung-fu comedy, which is here all the more impressive and outrageous on account of being the star's first directorial outing, filled with all the visionary, kinetic ingenuity of someone with something to prove.
