Snake in the Eagle's Shadow

Summary: The movie that made Jackie a legend
Review: This has to be one of Jackies best old school movies. Classic Jackie fighting and the crazy Snake in the Eagles shadow technique make this a legend. Also those massive chopsticks Jackie's mentor used were amazing. Jackie is a young servent who is taught the snake technique by a wandering mentor. But the Eagle clan has vowed to kill everyone who knows the art of the snake. Unlucky for them, Jackie comes up with his own technique. The Cats Claw. In this movie a stunt went wrong and Jackie has his arm slashed. The original footage is still in the movie. Arm the Homeless

Summary: Ok, but not Jackie Chan
Review: This movie only showed clips from the original movie with Jackie Chan. The real star here is Wang Tao. Although not as good as the original snake in the eagle's shadow, this was not a bad movie afterall. Wang Tao was Ok as the snake fist master.

Summary: This is a Must have to be in you Jackie Chan Collection
Review: This movie's story is pretty simple Shang Kwan Yi Mun (Hwang Jang Lee)is the eagle claw master who has decided to wipe out everyone who knows the Snake Fist technique. After having killed almost every snake fist master there is now only one left Pak Cheung Tien (Simon Yuen). But what he doesn't expect is that Pak Cheung Tien will teach the poor orphan boy Chien Fu (Jackie Chan) the snake fist style. Now Chien Fu has to under go some of the most tortuous training ever devised. On the way he also learns another style "the cat's claw" which he learns from a cat that kills a king cobra snake. Chien Fu now decides to combine the snake's fist with the cat's claw to be able to beat Shang Kwan Yi Mun in the final confrontation. This movie is a pretty stunning showcase and the first time Jackie Chan got to show what he is able to perform. Simon Yuen shines as the old snake fist master. Hwang Jang Lee also makes a solid performance as the dreaded eagles claw master. What can I say this movie is a classic. Anyone interested in Jackie Chan's kung fu movies Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, and Drunken Master is the ones to get too. See Yuen founder of Seasonal Films saw his chance when he managed to get director Lo Wei to loan out Jackie Chan for 2 movies. Although many people had told him that it was a major risk to have Jackie Chan as the star after all the awful movie's he had made in the past with Lo Wei who tried to position Jackie Chan as the next Bruce Lee which was a very bad idea. This movie just can't fail the fight scenes are brilliant especially for the time they were made. Although the production on this movie seems this One of the Best and was typical for all Hong Kong movies ever made at the time. This is the movie that gave Jackie Chan the recognition to be a Star, and soon to be a Super Star. I am a Big Jackie Chan Fan, and I am telling you if you like Jackie Chan Movies this movie (Snake in The Eagle's Shadow) is a must have. How, is because of the out sanding action that Jackie Chan and Master Hwang Jang Lee display in this great movie. Also it has some funny stuff in it movie. This is a great movie. So if you like Jackie Chan Movies Snake in The Eagle's Shadow, and Drunken Master is a must have to your collection. So I hope you injoy this movie.

Summary: One of the best Jackie films ever
Review: Together with "Drunken Master", Snake in the Eagle's Shadow launched Jackie's career. Not to be confused with the "sequel", Snake in the Eagle's Shadow II, which to my knowledge doesn't even have Jackie in it. The Eagle Claw style has embarked on a quest to eradicate the Snake Fist style, and almost succeeds before the last living Snake Fist master passes the art on to Jackie. Jackie's character is quite cinderella-like, an orphan kept by the master as a janitor. picked on and abused by the other instructors when the master is away, he gets even after learning kung-fu from the Snake Fist master, played by Simon Yuen. the Eagle Claw master / main villian is played by Hwang Jang Lee, one of the best screen fighters ever. Tino Wong also does some excellent fighting as the arrogant county kung-fu champion. Beautifully choreographed fights and a fair amount of laughs make this a must for any Jackie fan.

Summary: great movie
Review: Very inspiring. Excellent fight scenes. Great plot. I rate it 4 stars because I think it is over-priced for no apparent reason. I first copied it on VHS from the local video rental store. I loved it but thought the quality of the VHS original was horrible so I bought the DVD. The DVD's quality is great so I am not disappointed, I just feel that for a special interest movie like this, the price could be more in line with other similar offerings. This movie is a must for your action film/martial arts collection. I just don't understand why the people who sell these DVD's can't understand that everyone is not so wealthy to be able to afford such a high price for a single disc.

Summary: ALWAYS stick with ORIGINAL
Review: Why American production make HK movies look so cheap? First of all, they cut off so much scene, second of all ruin it by making look acting so dumb by English Dubb. For ANY of HK movies, ALWAYS stick with ORIGINAL LICENSED HK RELEASE. Be careful with cheap imports, boots though.
