Dragon Fist (1979) Jackie Chan fight scenes.

Dragon Fist (1979) follows Tang How-yuen, played by Jackie Chan, a loyal kung fu student whose life is shattered when his master is disgraced and killed after being falsely accused of stealing a valuable jade tablet. Set in a loosely defined historical Chinese setting, Tang sets out to restore his master’s honor by tracking down the truth behind the accusation. His journey takes him through various martial arts schools and rival clans, where he faces increasingly skilled opponents, each encounter revealing pieces of a larger conspiracy. Along the way, Tang forms uneasy alliances and discovers that the betrayal came from within the martial arts community itself. Unlike Chan’s later films, the tone remains somber and focused on discipline, honor, and vengeance rather than humor. The story builds toward a final confrontation where Tang uncovers the real culprit and avenges his master, ultimately clearing his name and reaffirming the values he was taught
