Snake In The Eagle's Shadow Reviews

Old School Kung Fu

I absolutely love old kung fu films and I've recently watched quite a few of Jackie Chan's early offerings. To be honest this is a decent enough film, the fight scenes are worth watching, but nothing really special or outstanding.

If you really want a good old kung fu film check out Drunken Master or Young Master, both Jackie Chan films, but with much better stories and fights.

Overall this film is definately average, containing all the bad stereotypes of bad dubbing, dodgy beards and poor acting, leading to something that may amuse you for a while if you like that sort of thing, but if your new to this sort of film, there are better ones out there.

excellent kung fu movie

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It takes 30 minutes to warm up yes and occasionally the Kung fu is a little slower than Jet Li movies but it had some essential indgredients.

For one the story line was worth watching. The kung fu styles are unique. Comical moments are quality. The acrobatics, endurance and style of Jackie Chan is awesome.

You have to see this movie if you like Kung fu!

Good old fashion Kung Fu film.

If you are a fan of Jackie Chans older films, such as Drunken Master and Shaolin Chamber of Death, I'd recommend this film.

Jackie's training sequences are as cruel as ever, however the fight scenes come across as extremely cheesy. Including the horrifically funny cat screeching noises.

If you have a sense of humour, and can laugh at cheesyness, this is for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend this film for you. :)

Another good Jackie Chan film.

This is the classical story of the battle of styles. If you are a fan of Mr Chan this will be one not to miss.

Classic

Classic Jackie Chan. Excellent laugh as well as amazing action. Well worth watching for any fan.

Excellent

This is so far the best Jackie Chan movie I have watched. Excellent story line.

Jackie finds his place

This is probably the first of Jackie Chan's films that really utilises his talents to the full. A comedy action with some incredible fight sequences, especially those with Hwang Jang-Lee.

There is a wonderful training montage that showcases the lengths that Jackie will go to for the sake of entertainment. Directed by the legendary Yuen Wo-Ping, this film also features a stand out performance by Simon Yuen as the beggar who trains Jackie when he is being bullied. ( A role similar to the one he went on to play in Drunken Master. )

A most enjoyable Kung Fu adventure that still stands today as a classic. After half a dozen or so average films, playing against type, Jackie finally gets a part that really suits him.

wow

this jus one of those awsome classical films.

you gotta be willingto understand blad subtitles if your thinking of watching this.

but i promise all that high voltage kungfu is worth watching it

Fun and entertaining.

The movie that introduced me to classic martial arts movies, and just happened to launch Jackie Chan into stardom.

Very original for it's time, charismatic, well choreographed and an excellent display of martial arts.

In short, everything you want from the genre.
