The Young Master Audience Reviews

Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Fella_shibby I remember seeing this first on a rented VHS during the mid 80s. This movie is a must buy for Jackie Chan fans. Must hav seen more than a dozen times by now. It's not the directorial debut of Jackie as many ppl believe. Fearless hyena was the one. This is his first for Golden harvest. The fight scenes are all very good. The final fight is amazing and just as importantly, the film is funny. As writer, director, choreographer and star, this is a landmark in Jackie Chans history. Jackie does things with chairs and tables that no one can copy. As for the story, who cares about that when you see Jackie Chan kicking ass. The film climaxes in an epic battle between Jackie n the villain n is one of the finest ever shot in the history of Hong Kong cinema. Great mixing of kung fu action with comedy, Young Master is well worth viewing for any action film. The best fight scenes were Master Kam's jailbreak, the bench fighting sequence and of course the lengthy finale between Dragon and Master Kam.
julesdil Young master 1980 I got the platinum edition which is remastered well for a old film. Jakie is in a story of fighting against people in a martial art school with a hard master the film is traditional with semi realistic elements in it , Jakie gets involved with a rivalry clan who step by step threat the school of his , the film is funny as its a comedy and the fighting is not present only now and again .the young master is a dull film and takes on too much humor and less arts this could have been better if it was a classic but its same in its boring formula but the trademark of Jakie takes on several funny characters like yuan Biro which adds fun as the film doesn't get better then and Somme hung would make these films better . The scene which makes this a film to view is a one on one fight with hang in Sui who does some nice hapkido , this is the only fight of Jakie's so far that's a different and fun fight to watch but it isn't really great as Jakie takes inhuman punishment .The young master is only worth viewing for its funny scenes and the rare surprise of hapkido after all its nothing that's worth paying loads a money out for like I did its a pain to get these films and a pain to get the best versions and even to get them at a reasonable price .
ballisticwesker-263-233757 One of Jackie's most memorable movies ever made since it brought the early prototypes of Jackie's now trademark choreography. It is not Jackie's best movie since he had to rush making it (and I'm pretty sure it would be one of his best if they had given him more time) but you sure can't miss this movie since this is the movie that set the cornerstones of his later trademark choreography.In this movie you see Jackie's good slap-stick-humor and a mix of his "old" and "new" fight choreography. Yes it is visible it was a rushed affair and part of it ain't that great, but this is a must for Kung Fu films and Jackie Chan fans.I especially want to praise the ending of the movie which is comparable to Legend of the Drunken Master, one of Jackie's more memorable and more famous Kung Fu film. In this movie (along with Legend of the Drunken Master) Jackie actually gets scary, right there in your face staring at you in the eyes in the final fight scene.Good movie, not his best but still good. 8/10
poe426 In THE YOUNG DRAGON, superstar Jackie Chan was essentially playing gung fu star Jackie Chan. His antics herein were nothing new (though he would go on to add- quite substantially- to his ouvre over the next two decades) and some of the alleged humor is merely alleged, but it's the fifteen or twenty minute pounding he takes from Master Sik at the end of the movie that makes it absolutely must-see film-making. Chan, it could be argued, is cinema's great martial arts masochist- and his protracted punishment, dished out with a sadist's delight, it seems, has to be seen to be believed. Chan has always been willing to go that extra yard, and his willingness to absorb punishment for the sake of his art is taxed to the limit here. It's brutal, no two ways about it, but it's also vintage Jackie Chan.
