The 5 stars is actually for Drunken Master. I have seen Rumble in Hong Kong and wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE, Chan Fan or not. I don't even classify it as a Jackie movie. But Drunken Master is probably one of his best movies and was one of his first big breaks. Comedy, action and drama are the three main ingredients for a Jackie movie and this one has plenty of all three. Many people don't appreciate Jackie's older films, but there are a lot of gems out there that people don't know about. Just remember, Jackie has starred in over 50 movies and has been in well over 100! That's a lot of movies to watch! Drunken Master is definitely one to find!

GAH! I bought this on zshops..... man was I dissapointed! Rumble in hong kong i did not even bother watching; i bought this for DM! Imagine my surprise.... Drunken master was subtitled. Not that I have a problem with reading dialogue, but.... It was subtitled with chinese text on the top, and with the english cut off at the sides and on the bottom! Some words are visable, but 99% are not. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS POOR COPY

This review is towards "Drunken Master" and a little on "Rumble In Hong Kong" aka "Police Woman". "Rumble..." really really sucks and I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch it, even a die hard Chan fan, so just stay clear from it. "Drunken Master" on the other hand is a master piece in kung fu films. It's very entertaining and funny so I really liked it. The action is good, and very entertaining. Jackie reveals his comedic style that would trademark his style in other movies in years after this movie. I would also recommend "Drunken Master II", which I thought was even better than the first.

This film, one of Jackie Chan's finest, apart from Snake and Crane: Art of Shaolin (which is a must have for Chan fans), has some outstanding martial arts scenes which are almost unparalelled. Let's face it, we don't often watch Jackie's movies for his acting but most often his martial arts techniques and this film definately pleases. BUY IT!

I really like to see movies staring Jackie Chang but I am so sorry I missed this one. I saw RUSH HOUR which was a big hit in Trinidad and the Americas. In other words all I want to say is I love how this Actor acts and really sorry I missed this one.-A member of the Couva Junior Secondary School 3:7am, Thank you.
