Movie Info

Shangkuan I-yun (Hwang Jang-li) has developed the deadly eagle claw style to devastating effect on the follower of the Snake Fist technique, killing all except the group's dithering leader Pai Chang-tien (Simon Yuen Siu-tien). When harried orphan Chien Fu (Jackie Chan) saves Pai's life, the master teaches the youth some of the finer points of the Snake Fist style. When Chien nurses Pai back to health following an ambush by two of Shangkuan's followers, Pai teaches the lad everything he knows.

Audience Reviews for Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (Se ying diu sau) (Eagle's Shadow)

Snake in the Eagle's Shadow seems to me to have been tragically overlooked and missed by many. It's the perfect balance of martial arts and humour. It's the first film that really put Jackie Chan on peoples radars and personally I much prefer seeing him in his original roles rather than the now stereotype roles he takes in Hollywood. Often when I'm recommended a good martial arts film it's either too heavy on the humour and doesn't have enough action or vice versa, this is the perfect balance, if all martial arts films were like this I'd be a much bigger fan of the genres.
