Synopsis
Watch The Big Brawl (1980) online on iFILM — Jackie Chan's Hollywood debut, directed by Robert Clouse, the man behind Enter the Dragon, and produced by the Golden Harvest studio. Set in Prohibition-era Chicago, the film follows Jerry Kwan, a young Chinese-American martial artist whose skills catch the eye of mob boss Domenici.
Domenici gives Jerry no choice: fight in Battle Creek's underground no-rules tournament, or watch his family pay the price. The opponents are hardened criminals. Jerry has only his fists and his speed. Supporting cast includes José Ferrer and Mako, with Chan doing every stunt himself — as was already his signature.
Chan made the film before Police Story and Drunken Master took him global, and that raw early energy shows. The fights are loose, physical and completely unpolished in the best possible way. Stream The Big Brawl (1980) on iFILM.
