Review of Xiao lao hu

Xiao lao hu (1973)
2/10
The summary here is wrong
22 June 2019
The movie does not open with Woo Gam talking to Jackie Chan (with a huge mole on his left cheek). This movie opens with men in white karate gis practicing outdoors. Cut to a guy on a motorcycle then back to different guys practicing martial arts indoors. The master asks Mang Fei to give "a lesson" to the arrogant new guy. That would be Dean Shek and he arrives at the school. Lesson given. After the fight, Meng Fei sees Dean Shek being taught another lesson by the loan sharks he cannot pay.He tries to help and gets framed for his murder. He "escapes" custody and takes with him anything that makes further sense of the story.

My copy is a digital file that plays as wide screen but small on a HDTV. It is English dubbed by the A team of voice actors.

Let me clarify regarding the other user reviews. There are two movies titled "The Young Tiger" One of them stars Meng Fei and that matches the DVD cover and credits shown here. The other "The Young Tiger" is actually "Police Woman" and can be found here under that title. That page has the DVD cover "Rumble in Hong Kong" and Jackie Chan's picture. The movie's alternate titles are "Rumble in Hong Kong", The Heroine", and "Here Come Big Brother". My copy is a digital file that plays as wide screen but small on a HDTV. It is English dubbed by the A team of voice actors.

The summary here is also wrong but I can't see making the effort to fix it.

Now that you can tell the difference between the two movies I strongly recommend if you find yourself watching this one - stop. I don't have anything good to write about it and rate it at the bottom.
