The Movie


Jackie Chan's grandfather, Master Chen, has come to live in seclusion, having fled the evil Ching dynasty. Jackie's desire to fight is forbidden by his grandfather, who fears that his martial arts skills will make him a target for the dynasty. 

Jackie's world is turned upside down when he is forced to witness his grandfather's murder, and vowing revenge, he begins to sharpen his skills under the watchful eye of The Unicorn, who schools him in the ways of Kung Fu. 

The training is brutal, but Jackie acquires powers that make him invincible, and masters the devastating "death blows." Jackie has lost his grandfather, but gained something no one can ever steal, and he tracks down and crushes the Chings in a spectacular finale.
