A few moments of Wang Yu madness creep into the film to enliven things, but this is mostly a hard slog to get through.

It’s certainly not perfect and not among Jackie Chan’s best films, but there is ample entertainment value.

‘Snake And Crane Arts Of Shaolin’ starts with a stunning martial arts display by Jackie Chan and ends with one of the most complicated pieces of choreography ever seen on screen.

‘Whiplash’ may not be a particularly well known film, but with such a skilful blend of characterisation and robust fight scenes it really should be.
