In 1980 Jackie Chan broke every box office record ever set in Hong Kong history, even surpassing the late Bruce Lee with his action blockbuster YOUNG MASTER. Chan directs and choreographs as well as stars in this highly enjoyable and unconventional martial arts movie Dragon (Chan) is the younger of two orphans, the elder, Tiger, has gone astray and defected to a rival Kung Fu school who are using his skills for evil means, and ends up being framed by them. Dragon has the task of clearing his brother's name, and by using his wits and incredible fighting skills, he succeeds. If there was ever a film to show Jackie Chan's talents, YOUNG MASTER would be close to the definitive Chan film. Not only is his natural flair for comedy on full display but also his masterly direction of action. Fans, pipes, skirts, swords, stools and staffs are just some of the weapons Chan wields in the film plus manic stunts and the mighty kicks of thunderfoot. YOUNG MASTER is a milestone in martial arts movie making and there has been nothing like it since. Classic Chan at his fighting best.
