The Fearless Hyena (Chinese: 笑拳怪招) (released in Japan as Crazy Monkey[1], and also released in the United States as Revenge of the Dragon) is a 1979 Hong Kong martial arts film starring, written and directed by Jackie Chan in his directorial debut. The film was a box office success, and released in Hong Kong on 17 February 1979.[2]
The film later spawned a rip-off titled Fearless Hyena Part II. In West Germany, the film had been marketed under the titles Der Shadowman and also Der Superfighter III.
The film initially focuses on a martial arts student who lacks self-control and has a gambling habit. He is soon offered a position as a martial arts teacher in a school with a poor reputation. He unwittingly attracts the attention of a villainous kung fu master.
