Half a Loaf of Kung Fu

Jiang is a young man with no real skill in martial arts who dreams of something bigger. After he witnesses a fatal duel between the killer known as the Deadly Whip and a criminal named Sze, he takes on the dead fighter's identity. That decision draws him into the schemes of several clans competing to seize valuable martial arts artifacts being moved by an escort company. A beggar he meets by chance becomes the teacher he needs, training him in fighting techniques while he tries to keep up the pretence of being a master.

Charlie Chen Chi-Hwa directed this Hong Kong and Taiwan action comedy, his fourth film as director following Shaolin Wooden Men, I Want More! and Snake & Crane Arts of Shaolin, all released in the two years before it. Tang Ming-Chi wrote the screenplay and Lo Wei produced it for Lo Wei Motion Picture Co. Jackie Chan, then early in his career, plays Master Chang, with James Tien Chuen as Master Mao, Doris Lung Chun-Erh as Fung's Daughter, Kim Chung-ran as Miss Lu, and Lee Lee and Chin Kang as Ying Fu.

On TMDB the film holds a rating of 6.2 out of 10 from 94 votes, a modest score for a Jackie Chan vehicle of this period.
