Youthful martial arts master Lung is searching for his missing brother, when he is mistaken for a criminal on the run. He must prove his innocence by solving the case himself, while local lawmen and merciless mercenaries are hot on his trail.

There's no character development, no training that Jackie has to go through to reach his full potential, no new technique he must master if he is going to win the day. Just a series of hilarious bits and amazing fights with a last minute device - not even remotely set up before hand - that gives Jackie the extra power he needs to beat the final baddie. It's just straight up, purely fashioned entertainment.

A bit front loaded with plot for a movie that essentially boils down to a series of gags and a reel long final confrontation with a villain who isn't even introduced until halfway through the movie, but more importantly, so what? Chan is a ball of creative energy both on screen and off, elevating the fights from martial combat to his trademark slapstick-kung-fusion, and even playing with audience expectation/formal gags with things like the slow mo celebration in the final fight (spoiler: it's premature). Young master indeed.

At one point, Jackie pretends to be a beggar and through trickery and sleight of hand, defeats two bank robbers without looking like he's trying. The fight is a master class in choreography, stunt-work and cinematic ingenuity.

I was having a bad day. I felt physically unwell. I want to cry about things both large and small. The weight of the world had landed. When I got home, I made it to the couch, where I could barely lift my head or get up to pee. But I knew what I needed. I needed to watch the last 20 minutes of The Young Master, a movie that Jackie Chan made in 1980, and his first film with the studio Golden Harvest.

The film\u2019s finale is a 20-minute fight scene. The plot is not why I watch Jackie Chan movies (and I always call him by his full name. It only seems right). Here is a quick synopsis of the lead-up: A young Jackie Chan accosts a criminal named Kam to prevent him from fleeing town. Kam is a far more competent martial artist than our \u201Cyoung master,\u201D who has so far shown himself to be sub-par. Everything is on the line\u2014which isn\u2019t actually so very much. For most of the subsequent fight, Kam literally whoops Jackie Chan\u2014up, down, sideways, all ways, like Kam is a spirited kid playing tether ball and Jackie Chan is the ball. They are fighting on a dusty, dirty outcropping on a hot day. Jackie Chan takes brief water breaks, gets advice from a mysterious, vaguely suspicious man, and then goes back in to get whooped. I\u2019ve never seen someone work so hard to make it look like the other actor is kicking their ass. Jackie Chan is throwing himself with every little punch, flying many feet, rolling, tumbling, flipping. It\u2019s incredibly acrobatic and athletic, like watching an Olympic gymnast. Someone else might compare this scene to the WWF, but I would say its more like a Simone Biles\u2019 floor routine.

In order to stay present and engaged, I needed a periodic escape from the current reality, something that took me out of my emotional pain, and I found it in the completely ridiculous, masterfully choreographed, and delightfully weird movies of Jackie Chan. I kept up my life, trying to do A, B, and C, but in the interstices, I watched all seven in the Criterion collection, and then more. Whenever a friend came over for a bonfire, I tried to convince them to watch Fearless Hyena, Police Story 2, Snake in the Eagle\u2019s Shadow. My friend Eric loaned me the autobiography of Jackie Chan, I am Jackie Chan, which he owned, to my chagrin. I read it with a perpetual grin on my face. My brother Zak started bit-torrenting more obscure movies, and even when I didn\u2019t like them, I liked the way they added to my growing expertise\u2014ah yes, I would think to myself, this familiar formula, where he looks like he\u2019s going to lose! Ah yes, a wall to run up, a window to run through, a bicycle to commandeer, a silver-haired maestro who shines with marvelous malevolence! When Zak and I took a hike and found ourselves on a rocky outcropping, he asked, \u201CI wonder what Jackie Chan would do with this set piece?\u201D Suddenly, that question was always in my mind. What would he do at this intersection, with this building under construction, on this pile of rubble?

The Young Master () is a 1980 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by and starring Jackie Chan. It was Jackie Chan's second film as a director (after Fearless Hyena), but many consider this to be his first "true" film as a director. While Frankie Chan is given credit as the film's composer in the Chinese prints, the film still made use of various music cues from other sources, and is most well known for using music from The Planets by Gustav Holst. The international versions (UK, Japan, etc) featured a completely different score by Japanese composers Ryudo Uzaki and Akira Inoue. The following information refers only to the Chinese prints of the film.

Youthful master Jackie Chan is searching for his missing brother, when he is mistaken for a criminal on the lam. He must prove his innocence by solving the case himself, while local lawmen and merciless mercenaries are hot on his trail.

However, Tiger is given another job by the rival school. He is asked to join two assistants to free their captured master, Master Kim. When they successfully free Kim, the officials recognize only a fighter with a white fan. Dragon, who holds a white fan, is mistaken for his brother and chaos ensues. Soon, he feels the wrath of the local police captain, his son Fourth Brother, and his daughter. Dragon must take it upon himself to clear his name and find the real culprits.

The Young Master is truly a nice blend of kung fu fight scenes and comic relief, with Jackie Chan at the top of his game. However, the real highlight is Chan taking nearly 15 minutes of punishment from Hapkido grandmaster Hwang In-Shik. A true classic!

Chan falls back into the familiar role (in name, at least) of lovable scamp Lung, who along with his brother Lo (Wei Pak), lives in a martial arts school run by the venerable Master Tien (Tin Fung). Things are going just swell until Lo, Master Tien's star pupil, fakes an injury and secretly lion dances for the rival school. After Lo's treachery is revealed (along with a prostitute he bought with his ill-gotten gains), Master Tien banishes the elder brother from the school. Grief-stricken, Lung vows to track his brother down and get him to make amends, but as Lo ventures out alone, he falls in with the wrong crowd, participating in a jailbreak that frees uber-baddie Kam (Whang In-Sik).Unfortunately, Lung finds himself mistaken for Lo, and consequently has to battle the local authorities during his quest. Also, in a series of comic interludes, Lung meets up with Marshal Sam Kung (Enter the Dragon's Shih Kien), his fleet-footed son (Yuen Biao), and his beautiful, but deadly daughter (Lily Li). Lung eventually convinces the famous lawman to allow him to bring in the evil convict to nullify his brother's crime. What ensues is undoubtedly one of the most brutal fights in the young Jackie Chan's career, quite unlike anything Chan had done before.When viewed within the context of Jackie Chan's pre-Police Story work, The Young Master is a veritable masterpiece. With the possible exception of the two movies Chan made for Ng See-Yuen's Seasonal Films, The Young Master is perhaps one of Chan's liveliest, most creative films of that early era. Though the humor and stuntwork might seem quaint for those more familiar with his later works, I have to admit that after personally wading through such early duds like New Fist of Fury, this movie is a definite breath of fresh air. As director, Chan deftly weaves kung fu and humor in a far more extensive way than prior works, as evidenced in such scenes as Chan's fan-battle with the corpulent Bull (Fan Mei-Sheng), the acrobatic bench duel with an equally-talented Yuen Biao, and his quick fight with Lily Li, in which she uses her billowing dress to disorient our hero. Add to that the numerous comic setups between Chan and Shih Kien, and the definite chemistry between Chan and all the major players, and you're left with a film that could - but doesn't - coast solely on charm.But still, even at this early stage of his career, Chan was savvy enough to know when to jettison humor in order to up the dramatic ante. A example of this is the opening lion dance that comes across as a surprisingly tense and riveting sequence, despite the fact that it's been done and seen many times since. Those weaned on the gravity-defying lion dances of Once Upon a Time in China series may be bored by the real-world constraints enforced on the performers here. But to my mind, the focus on realism is a definite plus.Also benefiting from the upped realism is one of the most memorable parts of the film, Chan's final fight with Whang In-Sik. This duel is a first for Chan in that it actually feels real thanks to the hard-edged, street-fighting vibe of the action choreography. Unlike the fight-filled endings of Chan's previous films, this particular sequence doesn't come across as looking like just another rehearsed routine. This film marks the first time in a long time that I genuinely thought Chan might actually lose - contrary to my natural instincts, of course! The fight scene goes on seemingly forever as Chan's character constantly gets his ass handed to him by his superior combatant, but at each loss, he bravely and comically continues to rise to the occasion. And as a kicker to this stunning action sequence, the film concludes with a shot that is a laugh out-loud funny observation on the perils of kung fu fighting.But despite all these compliments, I wouldn't say that The Young Master is a definite crowd-pleaser. Some viewers will find the fights to be a tad overlong and the plot to be meandering at best, and both are suitable criticisms. But then again, martial arts aficionados will probably appreciate the fact that the fight scenes actually make sense within the story and naturally evolve as each action scene progresses. And really, all that comic meandering in the story makes for quality entertainment as Chan dispenses with the clichd plot and instead decides to just have a little fun. Though Chan would follow up the success of this film with the similarly themed Dragon Lord, I like to think of The Young Master as Jackie Chan's temporary swansong to the kung fu period film and a fitting prelude to his later forays into the realm of modern action.by Calvin McMillin Read MoreCollapse View More Professional Reviews This original content has been created by or licensed to YesAsia.com, and cannot be copied or republished in any medium without the express written permission of YesAsia.com.

This customer review refers to The Young Master (1980) (Digitally Remastered) (Joy Sales Version) (Hong Kong Version) young master Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10 This is the beginning of his comedy/kung fu choreography. Love the lion dance and wish they had shown the warming up bits in full prior to the competition instead of cutting in and out to show villagers placing bets with the bookie. What a waste!! For martial arts enthusiast, this lion dance sequence is one of many 'dance combo' layout. Still showing off his physique in the shower scene and the dialogue/short 'fighting' scene with veteran actor Sek Tin (the marshall) is typical Jackie slapstick comedy. Pity it's one of the last period film he did before moving on to modern era. Plenty of action in the scene with Korean tae-kwan-do master although it was dragging on a bit but I still wouldn't miss this one. Did you find this review helpful? Yes(Report This) Kenshiro

Chan's last old school action Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10 This is the first movie made by Jackie Chan. Well, Fearless Hyena was his first direction, but he was still working for Lo Wei and did not have the same freedom he enjoyed with Golden Harvest ( a company owned by Raymond Chow who will later become #1 in Asia in term of action films ). Young Master ressemble a lot of the best stuff he learned with Yuen Woo Ping ( wich he worked with for Snake in eagle shadow and Drunken master). So for kung fu fans it's a great movie. It is also the last old school kung fu film he did (he's last period kung fu film was Drunken master 2 in 1994 ) before moving with action films. Not his best period kung fu but a good one.

Classic Jackie Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10 A classic Jackie Chan movie showcasing his awesome acrobatics/choreography while still connected to his traditional Chinese style, complete with Lion Dance. Reviewing the squabbles with his opera brother, Yuen Biao, are definate highlights & I believe this may be the best of Jackie's period films. For an instant you forget why Jackie was roaming the country-side but typical kung-fu plot mentality is forgiven when you are dazzled with 'skirt foot', fan or bench vs. pole.

Young Jackie in Action Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10 Again, Universe gives the basic treatment. The film (uncut thank goodness), plus a biography, some trailers and thats about it. The English subtitles are easy to read though. This is THE first Jackie film in which he defined his future acting and directing style. Comedy, action, extraordinary kung fu, especially in the last exhausting fight scene, coupled with a good story line make this a must see for fans. A collector's item!
