daworldismine Review of Spiritual Kung Fu

Spiritual Kung Fu (1978)

a funny early jackie chan martial arts comedy

[7/10 · 21 May 2012]

spiritual kung fu is jackie chan's second attempt at kung fu comedy after the decent but flawed 'half a loaf of kung fu', director lo wei thought he could make something funnier, and in my opinion it is, because spiritual kung fu has some brilliant fight scenes, some of the best from all his early movies, not only that but the movie is even funnier, immature but funny. chan is great here and is showing some promise of who he would become, the fight scenes in this are brilliant though and any self respecting martial arts fan will admit that, even if they didn't enjoy the rest of the movie. the special effects of the ghosts are atrocious, but it makes it that bit funnier
