Snake in the Monkey's Shadow

Summary: Best Snake and Monkey style ever!!!!
Review: I have not seen a movie that has emulated the snake and monkey style as good as this movie.The snake in 'deadly venoms' and the monkey in 'seven grandmasters' can't even come close to the performances in this one.Truly a classic as far as animal- imitating kung fu is concerned.
This movie is my favorite and I guarantee any kung fu lover to get their hands on this one.

Review: Snake in the Monkey's Shadow is one great martial arts flick. I would have liked the addition of the monkey killing the snake, but it's a minor omission. This movie is one of the classics and should be a part of your martial arts collection.

Review: The movie starts right in on the action as soon as the movie starts and sets up the monkey style vs snake style story line. The star of the movie has to combine monkey and drunken style to avenge the dealth of both his drunken style master and a top monkey style fighter and friend. The story is great and the action is second to none. The training scenes are especially good. I'd recomend it to any martial arts film enthusiast.

Review: This is a great kung fu movie; gentle use of wires with some really talented martial artists going with genuine techniques from the styles they represent (monkey, drunken, snake). Really cool, subtle "special effects," too, such as a snake-stylist stripping bark from a tree with his fist, monkey-stylist leaping from tree trunk to tree trunk, etc.

Of note, however, is the censoring of a scene with a monkey fighting a cobra; probably removed at the behest of animal rights activists, I would be disgusted if the scene were filmed *today*, but hate to lose such a unique piece of film in a movie twenty years old. Tragically overzealous. The uncut original should be re-released.
