    • Trivia
      The first time that the authentic voice of Jackie Chan was heard in a movie. All of Chan's prior Hong Kong movies had featured traditional dubbing of his voice for Cantonese and Mandarin releases. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't dub his own voice in a Hong Kong movie before Supercop (1992).
    • Goofs
      Though the film is set in the 1930's, modern railroad freight cars not introduced until the 1970's are seen behind Jackie early into the film.
    • Alternate versions
      For its original UK theatrical release the film was cut by the BBFC for a 'AA' certificate to remove groin kicks, a neck break and a double ear clap. The video and all later releases including the DVD (retitled "Battle Creek Brawl") have replicated the cut to the ear clap.

    I love this movie
    The Big Brawl and The Protector are two of my favorite Jackie Chan films. They are both fun to watch, although in the Big Brawl Jackie gets to show his comedic side which adds quite a bit to the enjoyment factor. I have low quality VHS copies of both of these films and I am currently searching for new first generation copies in English. I would advise anyone to give these films a look. Of course I like any film with Jackie Chan, and I hope he will continue to team up with American filmmakers, as in Rushour, to give us more laughs and wild action.
