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.

You won’t have to wonder if this was shot in 3D, as nearly everything is like Dr. Tongue thrown kicks and weapons at you.

Lady Nan (Ping Wang) has a sick brother and needs to get him home, so she hires Ting Chung (Jackie Chan), Chang Wu-Yi (James Tien) and Chang (Leung Siu-Lung) to help her get through the Stormy Mountains. Ting is an amazing fighter, Chang can’t hear and Leung Sio-Lung’s character rips off faces. Seems like a good team to get you past the bandits. Oh — they also have twin sisters who are great with swords. Now it’s not just a party, but a party.

Jackie had been making movies with Lo Wei and was frustrated by the fact that none of them were all that good. After this movie, He would get to make Drunken Master and Snake In The Eagle’s Shadow for Seasonal Films. Things got so much better for him after that.

Your ears will be as amazed as your eyes, as this lifts so much of the soundtrack to Star Wars. Yes, I was astounded. You will be as well.

There’s also a bad guy who uses bells as a weapon.

This was released in the U.S. by 21st Century.

You can watch this on Tubi.
