Fearless Hyena

Fearless Hyena (笑拳怪招, 1979) is a Hong Kong martial arts comedy you can watch online on iFILM. It marks Jackie Chan's directorial debut — he also stars, choreographs, and does every stunt himself.

Young Lung is a gifted fighter with no discipline — he brawls for pocket money, ignores his grandfather's warnings, and treats kung fu like a party trick. Then a ruthless general tracks down the family and kills the old man. What starts as comic adventure turns into something personal. Lung trains under a new sifu, learning a style unlike anything he'd been taught before.

Shot before Chan crossed into international markets, the film already shows the physical grammar he'd later become famous for — acrobatic stunts folded into slapstick, comedy built directly into fight choreography rather than around it. Stream Fearless Hyena (1979) online on iFILM.
