EDITOR’S NOTE: As the journey through Cannon continues, this week we’re exploring the films of 21st Century Film Corporation, which would be the company that Menahem Golan would take over after Cannon. Formed by Tom Ward and Art Schweitzer in 1971 (or 1976, there are some disputed expert opinions), 21st Century had a great logo and released some wild stuff.

Ching Hing-lung (Jackie Chan) lives with his grandfather, kung fu master Ching Pang-fei (James Tien), who has trained him despite Ching Hing-lung loving to gamble and being pretty lazy. When he finally finds a job, it’s using his martial arts skills to train con men. He names his school after his grandfather, which attracts the evil attentions of Yen (Yam Sai-kun), who soon murders the elder. However, he soon meets The Eight-Legged Unicorn (Chan Wai-lau) who teaches him an entirely new series of martial arts skills and if you’ve seen any of Jackie’s The Drunken Master era movies. you understand that this will be a painful, if not funny, series of training moments.

Released in Japan as Crazy Monkey — and as Revenge of the Dragon in the U.S. — this is said to have inspired the Dragon Ball series of manga. Want to be confused? In Germany, this is called Der Superfighter III with the sequel, Fearless Hyena Part II, being Der Superfighter II. So what movie is Der Superfighter? Project A.

This was released by 21st Century.
