I don't know which version or which dub Zeltaebar watched, but there is no "poor sound quality and sound editing" in this film, at least not in the original cantonese audio track.
Classic Jackie. His 2nd directorial effort is an early masterpiece which showcases his immense talent, humor and moral sensibilities. The end fight is one of the greatest in the history of action cinema.
There is plenty of problems with plot and pacing in this movie, but I think the main problem is the poor sound quality and sound editing which in particular ruined the end fight for me. On the other hand there can be said that many ideas in this movie are both good and inventive though not always executed as well as one would like, like the dragon dance in the opening and fights involving fans, benches, drags, as well as antique pipes, and there is a surprising amount of the comedy that actually works
