Advantages: Death defying stunts and slapstick humour! Disadvantages: Some scenes are pointless! and story is very ordinary
...Following the legendary Drunken Master and Snake in the eagle's shadow, Jackie returned to typical Hong Kong classics. Jackie shows us some death defying stunts.
Movie Synopsis
There are two orphan brothers, one of which is played by Jackie Chan. Chan is constantly blamed for his brother's misdemeanors and his brother is consequently found out by their sensei (master) and immediately chucked out of the dojo (training for fighting school, where challenges of leadership often arise.) Jackie goes on a mission for the pursuit of his brother...
Jackie was excellent in this movie and it showed how his slapstick humour and death defying stunts go hand in hand. One particular scene entered the record books, as it required over 300 takes. This not only shows Chan's development as an actor, but it also shows how patient he can be ( I would get...

Advantages: Humour and action......!!!!!!!! Disadvantages: Storyline slightly simple.....
...Jackie Chan never ceases to amaze me. With his countless action movies which have been successful, this movie comes second only to Drunken Master.
You can watch this movie in Cantonese without subtitles, in Cantonese with English subtitles, in English dub without subtitles and in English Dub with subtitles.
This movie really is one for your classic Jackie Chan collector's edition. The genre mixes diversely between action and comedy and strikes out a prefect balance. This movie made me laugh alot, however it also intensified me during action scenes. Jackie Chan uniquely used ordinary day objects such as chairs, fans and tables to show why he truly is the 'Young Master!'
This movie has been lavishly choreographed and directed by Jackie Chan...thus we see Chan's brand of jesting humour along with his uniquely implemented stunts...

Advantages: Quite simply one of the most well made Chinese films ever. Disadvantages: Slightly over indulgent.
...Miracles stands out in Chinese cinema, especially for the time because it was the most expensive film that had been made. Jackie Chan had established himself as the biggest star in Hong Kong, with each film he made making more and more money than the last. He was being given more and more freedom in relation to the cash his movies brought in, and by this time had complete freedom. He had directed before, and had been hurt by critcism of his directing and set out to change this.
Miricles is beautifully shot, there are crane shots taking you across sets and locations, all filmed on high quality film rather than whatever they could find, by "Kung Fu" flicks standards this is unheard of. Costumes where expensively made, and it all shows on the screen.
The fight scenes are great, there are trademark chases with all the stunts you would...
