Hand of death (DVD) *  

(Bad fighting, bad storyline, bad everything)

So what can I say about this film, um, lame springs to mind. For a start, Jackie doesn't make his appearance until fifteen minutes into the film, and then he doesn't really fight until one hour and ten minutes into the film and that's over in a minute. He does have one sort of fight after that, but then with just ten minutes left of the film, the most disgraceful thing happens. He dies. Yes, he dies. This has to be the second death he has had in show business. Very upsetting. Jackie is NOT supposed to die, go it?

But putting that aside, the story line is very confusing and the action is not in abundance like his other greats like Gorgeous. Only buy this film if your a dedicated Jackie fan like myself.
