Spiritful Kung Fu (1978)

Dragon Fist (1979)

After the death of his master, martial arts student Tong Huo-wan travels with his adoptive family to seek redress from the man responsible but finds himself torn between righteousness and filial piety after becoming entangled in a feud between a local clan and gangsters.

The Fearless Hyena (1979)

Shing Lung (Jackie Chan) is a youngster living in a remote village with his grandfather, who teaches him Kung-Fu. He keeps getting into fights, even though his grandfather warns him not to show their Kung-Fu to others. Lung, though, is tempted by some thugs he beat up to act as the Master of a Kung Fu school. This school’s name apparently spreads far, as an old enemy of Lung’s grandfather shows up and attacks him. Lung goes on training with the help of another member of the old gang until he can eventually get revenge.

The Young Master (1980)

After failing his fellow students in a Lion Dance competition, Dragon (Jackie Chan) is sent away from his school in disgrace, on the condition that he must find his errant brother. Much martial arts mayhem and mistaken identity silliness ensue.

Half a Loaf of Kung Fu (1976)

Mostly a Kung-fu showcase; a loose script describes Jackie Chan’s character learning Kung-fu from a beggar-master and his pupil while guarding a caravan against bandits. Chan’s early comedic beginnings are shown here.

Dragon Lord (1982)

The adventures of a restless martial arts student called Dragon, who, while constantly pursuing a girl, gets involved in the affairs of a gang of thieves.

Fearless Hyena 2 (1983)

A pair of evil kung-fu artists, Heaven and Earth, are slaughtering the entire Yin-Yang brotherhood. The movie opens with two members of the brotherhood and their two male children being chased by Heaven, Earth, and miscellaneous bad guys. The two members get away separately with their children. Twenty years later, we see Chan Lung (Jackie Chan) as he hunts frogs and snakes and keeps them in his pants. You learn he was one of the boys. The other is a lazy man who uses windmill-driven levers to deliver things to and from the bedside, even a chamberpot and breakfast. Eventually, their respective paternal figures are killed, and they are forced to fight Heaven and Earth.
