this is one of the worst dvds i have ever seen. the picture is sub-vhs quality; the dubbing and sound is even worse; the fight scenes look like they were done in a single take by some guys who had never fought previously. but this movie is mostly dialogue...and very boring dialogue at that. unless you're an insomniac and melatonin doesn't work for you, stay away from this movie.

First of all, I think they should give the information that there are two different HK movies with the title "(The) Young Tiger".

One with Meng Fei starring (this one),
another Jackie Chan as one of the villains (very small role).
The cover art has nothing to do with the movie.
(This often happens to old kung fu DVDs.)

Meng Fei was just a newcomer at this time and the fighting scenes are dull (not only because of him) and the story is boring.
If you are not a collector of his movies, I won't recommend this one.
This is a contemporary action film, and Meng Fei is an ordinary young guy.
You may feel strange if you are used to see him playing an classic Chinese hero like Fang Shi Yu series.
His sharp eyes, brilliant smiles are already seen in his debut film, and here, too.

Young Lau Kar Wing (Liu Jia Rong) appears as a villain and a choreographer.
You cannot completely rely on Amazon's data, there are so many incorrect info.

Don't know why this is always listed under Meng Fei, he might be in it 5 seconds. Jackie Chan plays a bad guy, which is rare, but never gets to show off properly. He sports a mole on his cheek about the size of a golf ball. For completists only, for historical purposes only, not for entertainment! I have warned you!

I bought this DVD after seeing young Jackie Chan posing with some serious kung fu move on teh cover. This movie has really nothing to do with Jackie Chan. He plays some back drop bad guy with a huge mold on his face. You do not see any great fighting moves at all. Here is another things, why is this move called "Young Tiger"? It should be called a female cop and a taxi driver. A guy who plays the taxi driver and a female playing cop are the lead actors in this move. None of their characters are memorable, and their fighting moves does not impress. Skip this movie!

IN THIS MEDIOCRE JACKIE CHAN MOVIE, A GIRL THAT'S IN A GANG TRYS TO GET OUT BUT THE GANG WON'T STOP TO HUNT HER DOWN. BUT WHEN SHE DIES IN A TAXICAB ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL, THE CABDRIVER BECOMES A TARGET OF THE GANG, WHO THINKS HE HAS THE GIRL'S PURSE. THIS IS VERY MEDIOCRE FOR A JACKIE CHAN MOVIE. THE STORY IS DUMB, THE SCRIPT IS WACK, AND MOST OF THE FIGHTS ARE LUDICROUS. THOUGH JACKIE CHAN IS ON THE COVER OF THIS MOVIE, HE DOESN'T REALLY DO MUCH. THE ONE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS FILM IS THE FACT THAT WE FINALLY GET TO SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO SEE CHAN AS A VILLAIN. WANT A BETTER JACKIE CHAN MOVIE FROM THE EARLIER DAYS? CHECK OUT ''THE YOUNG MASTER'' OR ''SNAKE IN THE EAGLE'S SHADOW''.

The picture quality was horrible, as was the sound. Jackie Chan played a small role. At times the characters ventured into conversation that seemed more like propaganda than anything. This movie wasn't entended as comedy, but I couldn't help but laugh at how cheesy it was.

stupid and dull, dont buy this or rent, u should watch the tellatubies instead.

This has a supporting role from Jackie, in which he appears with a huge clump of hair on the side of his face. This movie is weird and confusing. The only reason you should view this is to see how young he is and see the hair on his chin. Other wise stay AWAY!

"Young Tiger" is a pretty bad movie no matter what way you look at it. The acting is bad, the fights are mediocre, the dubbing is bad, and the focusing is terrible. It is almost like an amateur with a camcorder woke up one day and decided to make a movie. The only reason that I gave this DVD two stars is because Jackie Chan is in the movie.
