Synopsis
Dragon Fist (1979) is a Hong Kong martial-arts film starring a young Jackie Chan, available to watch online on iFILM. Director Lo Wei made it before Chan reinvented himself as the king of kung-fu comedy.
Martial-arts student Tong Huo-wan loses his master, struck down by a rival during an exhibition bout. Tong travels with his adoptive family to demand justice, but the strange town tangles everything: the killer turns out to be a guilt-ridden amputee, and Tong gets caught between a local clan and a gang of thugs. Revenge and compassion keep pulling him in opposite directions. There are no signature gags yet — this is serious, hard-hitting Chan in the old-school mold, built on long, meticulously drilled fight choreography. Nora Miao co-stars. For fans of early Hong Kong cinema, or anyone curious where Jackie Chan began, it's worth a look. Stream Dragon Fist (1979) online on iFILM.
