User Review - 10/10 by Ryan Uif you loved drunken master 1 then youll love this even more!
User Review - 10/10 by James WBrilliant classic kung-fu movie, that brought the talents of Yuen Biao to the forefront. Some brilliant choreography by Sammo, along with the amazing physical talents of Biao lead to some awe-inspiring action set pieces
User Review - 10/10 by Nicola WProbably my favourite Martial Arts Film. Yuen Biao is a genius!
User Review - 10/10 by James KYeun Niau is the most underated Kung Fu actor ever, the man is a genius
User Review - 10/10 by Lene .Terrific kung fu flick! I've always wanted to see this and I don't know why I waited so long. Yuen Biao is one of my alltime favorite martial artists and this ranks up there as one the best films he's ever done.
User Review - 10/10 by Megan PFirst movie to bring Fame to Biao! Yuen Biao at his best! and more to come! Also stars along side Shaw legend Lau Kar Wing and Lau Kar Yan and Sammo Hung of course! The main selling point is the choreography and acrobatic stunts are jaw dropping, taken fresh out of the peking opera training, Sammo and Yuen recieved, and it looks awesome, (especially from Sammo, u wouldn't expect it form someone his size, seriously no wires, just watch in freeze frame, the jump and height ratio are authentic). Some the moves shows that these guys are essentially martial arts stuntmen, some of the best out there. The plot is kinda refreshing for a martial arts movie as it starts of as a basic comedy with loads fo great action mixed with with great physical humour about two homeless conmen trying to make it, with their ingenius and comic cons at casinos, banks etc, (Yuen Biao & Lau Kar Yan). And u'd expect it's be that's all it's be till the end mixed in with kung fu action. But the 2 protagonist soon train under the wing of a kung fu master 9Lau Kar Yan), but this master turns out to be the most wanted criminal and turns on the 2 protagonist/ his students. Sammo helps our heroes out toward the end playing the comical kung fu beggar. Lots off awesome fight scenes, choreography and early kung fu stunts. One of the most impressive I've seen for it's genre. The skipping rope training scenes is deffo one of the highlights, and shows off how amazingly athletic Yuen Biao and Sammo hung are. Strangely enough the Adez soya fruit drink advert copys 30 years later, and it's nowhere near the level lol!
User Review - 8/10 by Kieran MGreat fights, one of the finest freeze-frame endings in Kung fu history...and you gotta love the Sammo Hung butt drop.
User Review - 8/10 by Private UCan't believe this is on here! Anyway, the choreography is amazing. Must watch if you are a fan of old school kung fu movies. I own the DVD. Unfortunately the subtitles are bad and at times, out of sync.
User Review - 8/10 by Mannie LA Kung Fu/comedy film about two brothers who are trying to get ahead in life using various scams and tricks on the public. This is one of the best films that demonstrate Yuen Biao's amazing acrobatic ability, not to mention his fundamental Kung Fu techniques. As like many other Sammo Hung films, there is an attempt to blend comedy, Kung Fu action, and drama. Most of the time it works, but there are certain scenes that sort of fall flat due to the utter reliance of on poor slapstick. Ka-Yan Leung's reactions are not as effective as they could of been, and even some of Yuen Biao's are a little hard to take. But apart from that minor problem, this film is awesome at everything else it attempts. Sammo's appearance is very satisfying and entertaining, as he plays a kind of beggar/master for Yuen Biao's character - the closest he's ever come to playing the notorious So Hai character I would guess. And the fighting increases in interest and technique as the film progresses flawlessly. Sammo really is/was a true ground-breaking director, and Yuen Biao under his direction is outstanding. This film is somewhere between "Iron-fisted Monk", and "The Young Master", in terms of it's Kung Fu and dramatic content.
User Review - 8/10 by Robin WAlong with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao was part of the famous trio of Peking Opera House graduates who would go on to become huge martial arts stars. Despite a stellar career in Hong Kong, Yuen would not become as well-known around the globe as his fellow graduates, but "Knockabout" is probably the film to watch in order to see him at his best; Sammo Hung mostly just takes the backseat in a supporting role here, making this Yuen's show all the way. In typical martial arts fashion, the plot is incredibly thin and can barely be stretched out to 104 minutes, but when you have to fill that time with truly kick-ass fight scenes, nobody is going to complain; this film starts off by focusing mostly on VERY broad comedy (why do so many martial arts flicks from this period have bad guys with big hairy moles on their face?), but makes the wise decision to gradually improve the quality of its action sequences as it goes along. It all builds up to a stellar training sequence that showcases Yuen doing such amazing feats as ten standing back flips in a row (done in one unbroken camera shot to prove it's not faked), and a doozy of a climactic fight scene, where Yuen and the villain manage to engage in hand-to-hand combat while in the midst of skipping rope!
