I rented this knowing it wasn't actually gonna have a real fight of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, just a lotta clips. But I'm 18 years old, still in high school, and have editing equipment and I could of made a whole lot better film than this. Honestly, what is this? It's downright horrible. You see Jackie Chan in Young Master and then Twin Dragons, and that's it! Than a little bit of Bruce Lee in about 2 or maybe 3 films and that's it! It never even shows them off, you only see Jackie do one descent stunt when he runs over the car and that's it, where as a real film on this subject would show just about all his big stunts. And everyone knows Enter the Dragon is the place where to find some of Bruce Lee's best work, and you don't see anything from it. WHAT IS THIS?

This is just a bunch of movie clips of Jackie Chan (mostly from "Young Master" and "Twin Dragons"), and then some of Bruce Lee. There really isn't any biographical information, or anything on either star. (They could have at least shown the scene from Fist of Fury where Lee snaps young stunt-man Chan's neck!) The only, only reason to even rent this is for the interview of Bruce Lee at the very end, which was pretty interesting.

This is a bad movie and not worth the rent cause I can explain what it is in a couple of words. First, all they have of Jackie Chan which they only have clips from The Young Master and Twin Dragons. Then they show this film set where you can't even see anything except people showing off their martial arts. This Goes on for a very long time. After it will go to the Finale of Fist Of Fury where it shows Bruce Lee fight for a while. Then this interview with him occurs but I never watched it and I returned the movie to the video store.

Prior reviews are accurate. But if you're hungry for everything you can find on either of these stars, there's a little more here: Some choreography / behind-the-scenes where a young Jackie is demonstrating kung-fu with a cigarette in his mouth; and an interview with a somewhat self-inflated Bruce. And some good movie highlights. Quality is poor but some footage is unique. If you're looking for a second video on two-for-one day at the video store, this might fit.

With a name like Face to Face with such people as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, one would assume the video would be about them as opponents or at the least, about them interacting with each other. But no... this video has nothing to do with these two even being in the same room. It is about pieces of live segments about the two individuals. The filming is so bad in some parts that I wasn't even sure who was being filmed. A total waste of time and money.
