MC Hammer as a druglord? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!.......2005-04-14

In a movie where Brian Bosworth (Blackout) goes on a vengence spree after the bad dudes who killed his wife and kid, sounds interesting doesnt it, but trust me, this action/thriller sucks bigtime. Too much of a bad thing and we get some pretty corny acting. Also, this is a movie people where Rapper MC Hammer (He is credited as Hammer) portrays a druglord...so you do a math. Bruce Payne (Dungeons and Dragons, Passenger 57) in full blown long hair tries to deliver us a calm and cool collective badguy but ends up delivering a really corny and annoying part. When doesnt Payne play a dipstick badguy? Jeff Kober (Demolition High, A Man Apart) also stars as one of Payne's lackies. The action is really weak and the acting is even weaker. Dont expect much for this constipated ride....rent something else.

Surprisingly fun action movie.......2005-04-13

Brian Bosworth stars as a serviceman who's mother and daughter are murdered during a crime gone bad. As these things usually go, Bosworth must take up the role of lone wolf and head after the men who done him wrong. Hitting the mean city streets, his quest takes him from low life gangs to the top of the corrupt system.

Now on the surface its basically your cheap for-the-thrill-of-it action film, but I was actually pretty satisfied with what I saw. Is this the best film ever? Ffft, no. But it's not the worst either. What makes it so enjoyable? I gotta admit part of it is thanks to Bruce Payne as a corrupt Internal Affairs officer. (with a nose ring no less!) Lemme say this - his character was AWESOME. One of his henchmen killed Bosworth's family, and when Brian comes to exact revenge Payne says something like, "You're here to settle your score right? Well...let's give them some space!" There's more where that came from. Part of it is also some classic actions scenes, including one where Brian is surrounded by teenage gangsters, calls 911 on his cell phone, and says, "I'm gonna need 5 ambulances" before proceeding to pound his foes. Another shining moment is the death of MC Hammer and his minions. I have never laughed so hard at someone dying. Lemme say this: you know those internet images that say "owned" or "pawned"? If ever a scene deserved such an exclamation, it was that one. I won't give it away - see the movie.

Flawless? Nah. Some parts were a little too corny or cliche for me (like the typical boy-mentor companionship between Brian and the young boy) while some story elements I had to raise an eyebrow at. (an FBI mother's son wanders the ghetto committing crime without her knowing about it?) But hey, compared to some other direct-to-video action film travesties out there, it's definately a pick above the rest. Check it out for some mild action fun.

BOSWORTH TACKLES PAYNE.......2004-09-27

ONE MAN'S JUSTICE, directed by Kurt Wimmer, is a surprisingly effective revenge thriller, buoyed by the performances of Brian Bosworth (in arguably his best role) as an Army sergeant out to avenge the brutal slaying of his wife and daughter, and a deliciously villainous turn by a long-maned Bruce Payne. Add a nasty spin by Jeff Kober (FALCON CREST), and you have the makings of a sharp and tense thriller. Just when you think Payne has been as vicious as he could be, he pulls one more little trick out of his hat, and his over the top cruelty is disturbingly effective. Rapper MC Hammer as crimelord Dexter Caine doesn't do much with the little he's given, but he tries hard. the little boy who plays Mikey (can't remember his name) is very good, if a little too tough to be loveable.
All in all, Boz delivers in this one.

Not even worth it with a couple of beers.......2004-07-30

I love a good action movie. To be honest, I like a really so-so action movie. However, - One Man's Justice - doesn't apply to either category.

I don't have a problem with the B-rate acting and production. That's what I signed on for when I bought it. However, the action elements of the movie don't cut it. The fighting is sloppy, gun-fire unrealistic and the chase scene is pathetic. It's all brought to a head in the end fight seen when the stunt double is wearing a different color wig than the actor he is supposed to portray. For even a B-rate film, it's depressing.

Honestly, save yourself some pain. If you and your friends want to grab some junk and beer and watch an action movie, rent/buy/steal something else.

AWSOME!!! one of Bosworth's best movies!!!.......2004-02-13

One Man's Justice is an awsome movie, and might be one of Brian Bosworth's best films. it is truly a good movie, and might be considered a cult classic.

it has one of the best lines of all time. Bosworth is surrounded by about 4 or 5 guys, he throws a bag on the floor, pulls out a cell phone and calls 911 and says, "i'm gonna need (starts counting) 5 bodybags!" LOL!!!!!!!!!!

then beats the crap out of all of them. it's a very good movie that you are guaranteed to enjoy. bosworth does a very good job in the movie. also, MC Hammer comes out as a drug dealer who is trying to cope with the death of his brother.

the villian in the movie is also awsome. he has long blond hair and a pierced nose and plays the villan awsome.

A true Story.......1999-05-13

This movie shows how a Man can fight for the truth, and how was Paraguay during this dictatorship of almost 40 years. Here U will see the corruption of this small country in South America, and the tirany that this man had, Alfredo Stroessner.

Its a sad story and all the events happened in the real life. Today the Filartigas lives in Asuncion, the capital city. Always remenbering Joelito.

An early comedic effort from one of today's greatest physical comedians, Half a Loaf of Kung Fu is a parody of many of the melodramatic kung fu movies that were coming out of Hong Kong in the 1970s. The credit sequence sets up the tone as Chan performs a dream sequence full of tongue-in-cheek kung fu moves and visual puns. (Chan's ninja is revealed to be a beggar, his priest chews out a group of monks only to then have to do chores himself, and there's even a reference to Jesus Christ Superstar!) Chan plays Jiang, a hapless orphan who is amiable enough but always getting into trouble. In dreams he is a skilled fighter (with the help of eating spinach à la Popeye), but in reality he's sort of a dope. A kind beggar and an opportunistic traveler with a bad case of gas teach him skills that bring him into the employment of the Sern Chuan Bodyguards, who are protecting a priceless gemstone--the Evergreen Jade. A band of robbers attempts a heist and Jiang and his flatulent friend defeat the crooks in comic style. Originally shelved in 1978 by director Chan Chi Wa (who directed Chan in Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin), Half a Loaf of Kung Fu was released in 1980 after Chan's popularity rose. --Shannon Gee

If I'm lying I'm a son of a ..........2006-11-09

Frustrated by the weak box office returns of New Fist of Fury and Shaolin Wooden Men, Lo Wei gave Jackie Chan creative control over the slapstick comedy Half a Loaf of Kung Fu. With Chan's friend Chen Chi-hwa as director (Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin), Jackie wanted to make a film that was the antithesis of the current martial art dramas that were being shown. Jackie called this movie a "ninety-minute-long practical joke," but Lo failed to find the humor and decided to vault this film and created his own comedy for Jackie the insipid Spiritual Kung Fu. Half a Loaf of Kung Fu would remain unwatched until 1980.

One of the most interesting segments of the film is the beginning which parodies the normal use (at that time) of the main actors showcasing their martial-art ability. He spoofs the Zatochi series, he tries to catch arrows but fails and there is a great scene that has him using a fighting dummy for practice only the have the camera pan away to reveal a mini dummy. Unfortunately, the rest of the film is not as inventive as the starting sequence, though there are many good scenes. The problem is that the plot is not that different from many other films that Lo Wei has done.

Jackie plays Gon Tou, a wandering hungry man in search of a job. He eventually gets a housekeeper position for Mr. Man who houses the witch Lady Mui. He spies on her while she was doing a poison experiment, inadvertently gets his new friend San killed and narrowly flees. After his escape he came across a fight between Se Tai Chung and Lao Yung Lung - the man with the whip. This battle resulted in the death of both and Gon assumed the identity of Master Lao to collect the bounty on Chung. Now Gon is mistaken for a man with fighting skills even though his combatant acumen is very small. He gets beat up quite a bit.

He stumbles across a flatulent beggar (Dean Shek) who teaches Jackie such moves as "Lady Draws Arrow" and the ever impressive "One Finger Stops Mountain" (guess which finger.) Dean is funny in this Cantonese comedic role. Gon is then helped by another beggar (Lee Man Tai) who prevents Lady Mui from killing him. At first the beggar does not want to help Gon anymore, but he acquiesces and will help him if he takes something to Fong Wan. He later meets him at Fung Yu's Stone House with his daughter (Doris Lung) and friend (James Tien.) Together they are protecting the "Thousand Year Jake", which cures any poison, and "Potion of new Life" which is the fountain of youth. Since these are so powerful and priceless many criminals such as Lady Mui, Iron Hand Lui and The Man of a Thousand Faces (Kam Kong) want these. Gon helps Fong while learning more and more Kung Fu.

The plot is a bit chaotic and it ultimately fails as a spoof because so many martial art films have had plots much more ridiculous then this movie. But, it is an important film in Jackie's career because it is a turn from the grim-faced stoic hero that Lo wanted him to be. It is also a funny film with many inventive, though sometimes broad, scenes such as a dream sequence with Jackie becoming Popeye or Jackie reading a manual while fighting. It is also hilarious when Jackie knows that the flatulent beggar is approaching before we even see him. There is also a great reference to Bruce Lee when Jackie uses a wig as nunchucks while making Bruce-like sounds.

The fighting of the film is much more traditional, with the exception of the nunchuck wig, than Jackie's later films. But there are some good shots, especially the ten-minute ending fight scene. There is also a nice teaming of Dean and Jackie towards the end that was fun to watch. Overall, I like the film. It was better than the early Jackie Chan movies, though not as good as his later films. If you are a Jackie Chan film and have not seen it, then there is a good chance you will like it -- as long as you like flatulent beggars and goofy plots.

ORIGINAL IS BETTER.......2006-02-05

If you want UNCUT ORIGINAL version, ALWAYS look for ORIGINAL LICENSED Production. NOT US Release. Its a foreign film, it should not be US version to begin with~! HELLO!!!?? Why settle for LESS with US Version where they edit and cut so many excellent scenes especially with Jackie's Fighting Scenes. And US Release ruins the speed and sound as well. I have been collecting Jackie Chan's movies both HK and US Release Version for quite some time now. I found HK Version to be MUCH MORE in enjoyable, and HIGHER in Quality. American Market always like to "Americanize" and "Control". Regional Code Regulation thing is one of the example to CONTROL the Market. Why not let everyone enjoy the same HK Original Release move the same way ENTIRE WORLD enjoys it ?? No one makes Hollywood American movies to "French version" or "Chinese Version" ~! This what Americans are doing~! Well, enjoy the cheap "American version" then~! LOL

One of my favorites of Jackie's earlier movies.......2001-07-08

"Half a Loaf of Kung Fu" is probably one of my favorites out of Jackie Chan's earlier movies. There are several funny fight scenes, and the actual Kung Fu is pretty decent. The movie is not at all serious as it is poking fun at movies in the genre that came out around the same time. I would definitely recommend this movie to any fan of Jackie Chan.

Chop Sockey action flick........2001-07-08

Jackie Chan stars in the first kung fu parody ever. The film was very witty, and had some good fights.

Jackie plays a happy-go-lucky wanderer, who is hopeless at kung fu. When he is employed by a group of people to help them protect the 'Emerald Jades' and 'Soul Pills', Jackie calls on a kung fu master to help him.

I quite enjoyed this film, and I think you problbly will to.

Funny Fu.......2001-06-12

Your enjoyment of this film will probably depend on how many traditional martial arts films you've seen before, as it attempts to poke fun (pretty successfully) at the cliches of such films.

Chan plays a young man lacking any Kung Fu skills, but possessing highly developed chaos skills. Everywhere he goes he inadvertantly causes people to die and as the film progresses he builds up quite a list of enemies. After a chance encounter with an old beggar (who is naturally also a Kung Fu master) Jackie gets the chance to learn some Kung Fu, but only if he does an errand first.

The errand turns out to be protecting a transport of treasure (by the beggar's nephew) from bandits. Chan's bumbling results in the nephew getting near fatally injured so the exasperated beggar gives him a book of Kung Fu to learn from. Within about a day Chan is an accomplished martial artist. This is fortunate as all the bandits decide to attack at once and the inevitable mass fight at the end occurs.

Very funny in places (like when Chan, in mid-battle, rips the fake moustache of one of the cheesy bad guys) but offering more to the veteran martial arts fan than a newcomer.
