646f9e108c A young Asian American martial artist is forced to participate in a brutal formal street-fight competition. The Big Brawl does so many things right that it is a let down to watch some of Jackie Chan's later movies after seeing this one because so much has been lifted or borrowed from this film. There are some amazing fight sequences are all firmly supported by a hilarious story that never lags. (unlike like Mr. Nice Guy, or Rumble in the Bronx) for Jackie Chan's first American film this one was pretty decent,at least i thought so.it was directed by Robert Clouse who also directed the not so good movie Gymkata.but this film works pretty well.the acting is pretty good.the fighting scenes are alright as well.Jackie Chan certainly has his own style.later on in his films,his fighting scenes became hokey,but in this movie they weren't too bad.the film movies along at a good pace,so it's never boring.the story may not be original today,but back then it may have been.the basic plot is that Jerry Kwan (Chan)is forced to fight in a brutal street brawl,hence the title of the movie.for me,The Big Brawl is a 6/10
