In this, the first film to unite the martial arts mastery of Jackie Chan and director/choreographer Yuen Woo Ping (IRON MONKEY), action fuses with comedy to create a masterpiece of the genre. It is the end of the China Dynasty, and the 200 year-old clan known as the Eagle Claw Society has wiped out all forms of martial arts except their own style--with the exception of a few remaining members of the Snake Fist School. The leader of Eagle Claw is intent on finding and killing the remaining Snake Fist members. However, the elderly member of Snake Fist is in hiding, teaching a young servant (Jackie Chan) his ancient fighting style in hopes that it will survive for future generations. But is this young, Snake Fist upstart any match for the enter Eagle Claw Society? Chan and Ping would reunite for DRUNKEN MASTER. [More]
