Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Mike Garcia One of the biggest classics of martial arts cinema, the film that started a new subgenre in kung fu cinema , the comedy kung fu cinema and the breakthrough fim for its star, the legendary Jackie Chan...Directed by the legendary Yuen Woo Ping and co-starred by his father Yuen Siu Tien, playing his eternal role as the old beggar drunken master, this film is an example of how a perfect kung fu movie should be made, from the badass opening sequence with Jackie training with a red background behind him , accompanied by a catchy music until the final epic final fight against the great Hwang Jang Lee , the film is a succession of outstanding and very original martial arts sequences accompanied by great doses of humour ..Although that Lau Kar Leung already had used this formula in his directorial debut "The spiritual Boxer" made three years before, however, it was this film the one that gave a new direction to Hong Kong kung fu movies becoming in an instant classic..MASTERPIECE

callanvass This is the film that made Jackie Chan a superstar! it's one of Jackie's absolute best, with breathtaking fight scenes and a really wicked story!. All the characters are wonderful, and it's extremely well made as well, plus Jackie Chan is simply amazing in this!. One of my favorite moments in this film is when Jackie's pet cat has a duel with a poisonous snake(The Cat Won!), it was really well done, and I thought Jackie and Siu Tien Yuen(Grandmaster Pai Cheng-Tien) had wonderful chemistry together, plus the Training sequences were especially awesome!. The fight choreography is incredible, and there is some great slapstick humor as always in Jackie Chan's films!, plus Jang Lee Hwang is really menacing as the main opponent/villain. There are actually a couple of really cool plot twists, especially one near the end that I didn't see coming at all!, plus all the characters are very likable!, and it was nice to see this was subtitled instead of dubbed!.This is the film that made Jackie Chan a superstar!, it's one of Jackie's absolute best, with breathtaking fight scenes and a really wicked story and I say Go see it right this instant!. The Direction is superb!. Woo-ping Yuen does a superb job here with fantastic camera work, and just keeping the film at an extremely fast pace!. The Acting is fantastic!. Jackie Chan is amazing as always, and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, funny, had excellent chemistry with Siu Tien Yuen(old man), kicked that ass, had a really cool character, and added his his usual awesome charisma!(Jackie Rules!!!!!). Siu Tien Yuen is great as the old man/Jackie's master, he was really funny, and brought a lot of class, he also made me grin throughout!. Jang Lee Hwang is one hell of a martial artists, and played a fantastic villain/main opponent here, I wouldn't want to mess around with this guy, he was extremely menacing. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall Go see it right this instant!. ***** out of 5

meishu Snake in the Eagles shadow is one of the best Kung Fu movies, I really like Jackie's snake style in this movie. If anyone in here like Snakefist Kung Fu like me, it's a must see! I really like the actors in this movie. Hwang Jang Lee, Yuen Siu Tien, Roy Horan. Specially Hwang Jang Lee with his incredible kicking skills. Jackie VS Hwang is the ultimate Kung Fu fight! There's also some great Comic, like every other Chan movie. The acting is also great! The film is about Chien Fu the young Jackie. Who's Punchbag for a Kung Fu school. He's an orphan. He meets Yuen Siu Tien, which will become his Sifu in snake fist Kung Fu. The final match is between Jackie Chan and Hwang Jang Lee, which as i said before is the ultimate fight. This film is a great example, why the early Jackie Chan movies are the best! Snake in the eagles shadow is a true Jackie Chan classic!

AwesomeWolf 'Snake in the Eagle's Shadow' - Jackie Chan's other breakthrough hit, along with 'Drunken Master'. Both released in 1978, these two movies made the careers of Jackie Chan and director Yuen Woo Ping, and both featured Siu Tien Yuen and Hwang Jang Lee in similar roles.The plot follows Chien Fu (Jackie Chan), an orphan abused and mistreated by the kung-fu (evil, of course) school he works at. He can't fight until he meets Pai Cheng-Cheh (Siu Tien Yuen), a grand-master of Snake Fist, and last remaining follower of the Snake Fist style. A rivalry between the Snake Fist and Eagle Claw styles has led to the near-elimination of the Snake Fist style, and Chien Fu and Pai Cheng-Cheh find themselves being hunted by Lord Sheng Kuan (Hwang Jang Lee), the master of the Eagle Claw style.The awesomeness of 'Snake in the Eagle's Shadow' lies in the fact that it really is quite similar to 'Drunken Master', which is also awesome. Again, the plot is a pretty standard kung-fu plot, but any plot which allows for the maximum amount of on-screen kung-fu time is a good plot. The training sequences are entertaining, and the following fight scenes are incredible - Jackie, Hwang Jang Lee and Yuen Woo Ping are all at their best here.'Snake in the Eagle's Shadow' is an awesome and very funny movie - 10/10, a must see for all Jackie Chan fans.
