Emotional Kung Fu at its most explosive—and Jackie Chan at his most unforgettable directorial debut! In The Fearless Hyena, Chan stars as a carefree good-for-nothing whose world is shattered when his grandfather is brutally murdered by a ruthless enemy. Forced to master kung fu and unleash the fearless hee-hee-hero within, he embarks on a spectacular journey of revenge, packed with jaw-dropping action, outrageous comedy and some of the most inventive martial arts ever put on screen. The first film Chan directed himself, it delivers unforgettable highlights including the legendary chopstick “duel” and his riotous turn in drag. Bursting with breathtaking choreography, bone-crunching stunts and Chan’s trademark physical comedy, The Fearless Hyena captures the raw energy and extraordinary athleticism that cemented his place as a martial arts superstar. Now newly restored and remastered, this essential Hong Kong classic has never looked or felt more explosive.
