The Fearless Hyena (1979) ( ) is a kung-fu film featuring Jackie Chan as the main actor and co-director. The movie was also co-directed by Kenneth Tsang.

The movie features many lengthy fighting scenes, more than would be seen in a typical movie today. At 92 minutes of length, the movie features four fighting scenes of about ten minutes each, along with a few scuffles along the way, still of a few minutes each.

The focus of the movie is clearly on the fighting rather than the plot or character development but there is also a lot of comedy involved. Also, as Jackie was about 25 years old when he filmed this movie, it is quite different from his newer movies in that he was in even better shape, allowing him to perform a faster and more acrobatic fighting style.

The movie also contains many extremely unusual fighting scenes. They include a chopsticks duel, Jackie Chan fighting while pretending to be a cross-eyed mentally retarded man, fighting dressed as a woman and attacking his adversary with his fake breasts and fighting using "Emotional Kung-Fu", a style that involved vividly displaying the emotions of anger, sorrow, joy and happiness to find the opponent's weakness and thus fighting while crying or laughing while being hurt depending on the emotion used. There was also a scene in which Jackie fights three opponents armed with piercing spears one by one, and then all three at once while avoiding simultaneous attacks from all spears using acrobatics. Lastly, he finishes off the main villain by holding him upside down in a handstand, and elbowing him in the groin twice.

Jackie Chan is a youngster, living in a remote vllage with his grandfather who teaches him Kong-Fu (naturally). He keeps getting into fights, even though his grandfather warns him not to show their Kong-Fu to others. Jackie, though, is tempted by some thugs he beat up to act as the master of a Kong-Fu school. This school's name apparently spreads far, as an old enemy of Jackie's grandfather (who turns out to be the master of an old gang or something equally obscure) shows up and kills him. Jackie goes on training with the help of another member of the old gang, until he can eventually get revenge. Written by Yaron
