Format:DVD
In my opinion Jackie Chan made it. This is really a very good film with good fight scenes. The fight scenes are very typical to Bruce Lee, but Jackie can do it too. The fim is really not typical to other Jackie movies but it is great. Jackie is showing that he is able to be a new Bruce Lee in this thrilling movie! A must see for all!

Jackie Chan's first attempt to break into the American market doesn't really stand up when compared to Drunken Master, Fearless Hyena or any of the other early classics he was making in Hong Kong at the time. But, nevertheless, it is good for what it is. Jackie is the son of a chinese resturant owner who refuses to let his son fight. However, Jackie has other ideas and is secretly learning kung-fu from his uncle - a chiropracter (apologies for spelling). Whilst defending his father from the local mob he comes to the attention of the mob leader who needs a fighter for the upcoming Battlecreek Brawl. He sets about blackmailing Jackie into fighting for him...which he does!!! The fights aren't as fast or as fluid as they are in Jackie Chan's Jackie Chan films, and this just shows how little control Jackie had over the choreography. However, there are a few scenes in which Jackie gets to show what he's made of and the fact he speaks in English gives it something special.

I think it's unfair to call this a bad film. It's Jackie's first American outing, and it's true he wasn't allowed to coreograph the fights, but I think he shows his physical talents all the time. Just look at the introduction! Jackie punches and kicks and jumps and flips his way through the whole film, just as we love to see him! And the jazz inspired score is nice, especially compared with his early Asian films. The DVD is great! Picture, sound and extras are excellent. Over all I think it's one of his best films, and I own 25.

Jackie Chan's first foray into the West is weak...
After amazing success in the Asian market with stunners like 'Snake In The Eagle's Shadow' and 'Drunken Master', Jackie was given the opportunity to appear in 'The Big Brawl' aka... Read more

I quite like this film
...I quite like this film, the first Jackie did in America. He had absolutely no say in how he did stunts or action, so don't expect any outstanding Jackie-type action. Read more

One Of Jackie's First American Movies
This is by no means a classic Jackie Chan film, nor is it his worst film either. It lies somewhere in the middle. Read more

Not Jackie's greatest
battle creek brawl was shot in america on jackie's first attempt to break the US market. With little influence, this is one for collectors only.
