4.0 out of 5 stars Praise for essential reference work, 1 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Jackie Chan's films have been repackaged so often over the years (not by him) that it can be very tricky to know which is which, especially with the 70's films. Would you guess that 'Master With Cracked Fingers' is the same film as 'Little Tiger of Canton' just from the title ? This little book handily sorts out exactly what his films are, and points out which are mere rip-offs of his name or just early, not very good work. Each film has a review of itself as a work, and also of how typical it is of a 'Chan flick', so you know what to expect. The authors' enthusiasm is infectious and makes you want to go out and find some of those obscurities. Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Odell and Le Blanc Go From Strength to Strength, 25 May 2001
By A Customer
After the excellent David Lynch book, Odell and Le Blanc have turned their hand to the film legend that is Jackie Chan. I have always thought of Jackie Chan's CV as what Bruce Lee would have wanted had he lived long enough, and here, their book empowers you with a full compliation of Chan's film history. Their witty and enthusiastic manner, fully untangles the Martial Arts genre with some style. An excellent book full of interesting data. Good luck to you Colin and Michelle, I cannot wait for when you move onto some of your other favourite Cult films. Bravo.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very essential guide actually, 29 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Just received my copy of this book, amazon service was as good as usual, but the book... I'm afraid i'm quite dissapointed with it. Maybe I was wrong with my expectations, but the book is mostly a compilation of his film reviews and little more. I thought other info and a few pictures could be listed within an essential guide about him. That's all. Appart from that, the book is well structured and has some funny points of view here and there.

Yes, it's another book about action superstar Jackie Chan, but, unlike other books, which cover his Peking Opera background in noticeable detail as well as his movie involvements,... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Bursting with facts and enthusiasm
I didn't know much at all about Jackie Chan before reading this book. I bought it because I was so impressed with the authors' previous book in the series, on David Lynch. Read more
