Summary: Billy Chong the most un-appreciated kung fu main man
Review: Billy Chong again is fantastic in an action packed comedy filled film. A young man finds his father dead, and only has the name of the man who did it, but no idea who he is or how he's gonna find him. Little does he know he's the one being stalked. With the help from a beggar cook he is taught the needed skills to atleast attempt to get revenge. Again Billy Chong is awsome, and everyone should get his movies, no matter.

Summary: Lightning fast kung fu action.
Review: Great Teacher/Student flick. Billy Chong kicks (...) in this one. In one scence he is so fast that his opponents end up hitting each other several times. Very entertaining. I highly recommend this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More Kung Fu Styles than its 10 closest competitors!!
Review: Jade Claw, from the Shaolin Dolemite Collection, is THE BEST MARTIAL ARTS MOVIE I have seen in a LONG time. Perfectly choreographed action, unbelieveably skilled actors and an emphasis on fighting, fighting and more fighting make Jade Claw a winner! Most Kung Fu flicks clutter up the flow of the movie with emotion and plot, distracting the audience. Jade Claw's emotion and plot ARE fighting sequences; the opening scene is a fight, the last scene ends at the end of a fight, and there are SEVERAL fighting scenes in between. The only other things that happen: Billy Chong gets trained in Kung Fu. A word on Mr. Chong: I haven't seen anything else he's ever done, can't form an opinion, but the stand-in who portrays Billy's master is probably THE BADDEST MO-FO IN A HUNDRED YEARS, SCREW BRUCE!!! Rent it, watch it, buy it--Jade Claw!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Surprisingly cool flick!
Review: Rented this one because I love any old Yuen brothers movie. When I watched it I was NOT disappointed. The star's mastery of eagle claw is extremely impressive. Buy this one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty Good
Review: This film has some similarities to Jackie Chan's Snake In The Eagle's Shadow. This film is also probably the best of the early Jackie Chan imitations. It shares the same type of martial arts comedy as well as training sequences found in many of Jackie Chan's films. Even Simon Yuen, from Jackie Chan's Snake In The Eagle's Shadow, is in it and plays Billy Chong's master. Billy Chong's other memorable film is "Superpower". In that one, he learns the "Nature Fist" style. The quality of the DVD is surprisingly good, far superior to the VHS video version I have. The only gripe I have is that there is no widescreen choice.
