What is "Fearless Hyena 2"

[GoldenFist]

I owned the movie at one point and someone told me that it was a movie they threw together in attempt to make money because Jackie dropped the Project, is this true?

[masterofoneinchpunch]

Pretty Much. Jackie Chan left for Golden Harvest during the early filming of it.

If you are interested here is a thousand plus word review of it: http://hkmdb.com/db/reviews/show_review.mhtml?id=12155

Ill tell you wat it is....a waste!

It IS a waste. I know there is at least one solid scene in that movie that was filmed before Jackie walked off... and it was quality. It was at his early peak.

I think Jackie had to film some of Dragon Lord in Korea - as well as come to the states to film The Big Brawl - just to get away from Lo Wei and his triad connections; I guess Jackie walked away from his contract, and Lo Wei put a price on his head.

The funny thing is: Lo Wei had the same deal with Bruce (Bruce was supposed to do Yellow Face Tiger, but went on to do "Way of the Dragon" instead, which caused bad blood between Lo Wei and Bruce)...

Jimmy Wang Yu, being the gangster he was, got Jackie out of the Lo Wei-trouble, in return, Jackie appeared in Island Of Fire...

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Lo Wei never put a price on Jackie's head... But Jackie was scared none the less. He fled Korea in the middle of the night. Lo sent his wife to talk to him. I've never heard Jackie speak about Jimmy's involvement, but heard it from a lot of other sources.

I kind of liked the villans, was it heaven and earth? Cool concept but, yeah, the movie just plain sucked.

A cobbled together mess is what it is- among the worst I've seen

Lousy movie, imo....i wouldn't watch it again!

It is mentioned (several times) in his autobiography about Wang Yu. This helps explain Fantasy Mission Force (1983) and Island of Fire (1990).

Yes, heaven and earth were the villians.

Gotcha. Thanks for the correction.

Yeah, I know thats why he made those movies, I just feel that he kinda downplays it, and find it a little odd!

[mpm74]

Fantasy Mission Force I can understand; but Island on Fire? Decent flick. Much better than some of his own movies.
