  • Half a Loaf of Kung Fu or Dian zhi gong fu gan jian dan is a 1978 Hong Kong martial arts action comedy film starring Jackie Chan, who was also action choreographer and co-writer. The story takes place in olden day China. Chan plays a traveling acrobat named Jiang who bumbles his way into a job at the mansion. After breaking house rules and upsetting the evil witch living in the guest room, Jiang comes across two kung fu masters dueling in the woods. He manages to escape without notice, and brings along the dead loser of the duel. He collects the reward and goes in search of a kung fu teacher. After several teachers don't work out Chan inlists the teachings of a beggar who is a kung fu master. He then goes on a journey with the beautiful princess to find the special Jade plant. "Half a Loaf" is a light hearted comedy/action movie known in its tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. The movie plays fun at melodramatic kung fu movies coming out of Hong Kong in the 70s. The movie opens with a bunch of short clips of near silent scenarios that show off Jackie's kung fu skills and tell all facial expressions and visual humor. Wikipedia
