Along with Drunken Master, Snake in the Eagle's Shadow launched a new fusion of comedy and kung fu. And it's easy to see why Snake has been so popular--it's easily the most engaging of Jackie Chan's early films. Everyone abuses and humiliates a downtrodden orphan (Chan) until he befriends an old man, who turns out to be the last master of the "snake fist" fighting style. Jackie becomes the old man's student and finds himself in battle with the master of the "eagle's claw" style, who has vowed to destroy the snake fist clan. Though these plot elements are familiar stuff, they're all executed with outstanding verve; the performances, the fight choreography, and even the obligatory training sequence are unusually complex and well filmed. Jackie is in top form and coming into his own as a star. --Bret Fetzer

1 of The Greatest Kung Fu Movies Ever Made!!!!!!!!.......2006-09-15

I caught this movie on comcast demand in the( free movies ) section for the first time in over 12 years. I always loved this movie but never could remember the title. If you truely a Jackie Chan fan and havent seen this movie I recommend that yoy check out this one I promise you'll want too see it again and again.], it's well worth at least $15 bucks max. This movie has all the ingredents that a kung fu masterpiece should have. My two favorite scences are the fight between a real Corba Snake and The House Cat, I wouldn't spoil the conclusion so you'll have to see for yourself. And the other scence OF COURSE IS THE FINAL BATTLE IT'S AT LEAST A GOOD 10 MINS AND YOU'LL ENJOY EVERY BIT OF IT ONE OF THE BEST FINAL BATTLES I'VE IN A KUNG FU MOVIE JACKIE LOSES HIS TOP FRONT TEETH...LOL!!!!!

Old Skool" Kung Fu!1.......2006-06-10

This flick is definately one of Jackie Chan's finest performance. I must have checked out this flick more than 5 times,,and can't seemed to get enough of it,,,I also though like usual Kwan Jung lee (Silvewr Fox)like always did a stellar performance,,,,,,,this is must have for the collection!!

THE MOVIE THAT MADE A STAR OUT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE.......2006-03-08

Just to name a couple
1.)Jackie Chan
2.)Simon Yuen(woo-pings dad)

I think that this movie is really better than drunken master.

Around 99% of kungfu fans no at leat of Hwang Jang Lee. The kickmaster. He has a scene where he jumps up and manages to land 6 kicks on Jackie by the time he lands. I rewound this for OVER AN HOUR. You are also getting one of the better performances of Dean Shek, and Roy Horan, and whatever the name is of the guy who replace don wong in secret rivals two. They really make this guy out to be a badass in this.

Now to actually talk about the movie. Jackie is an orphan who was taken into martial arts school. Since he is so dumb he has to be the cleaning boy instead of practicing the MA. Well he ends up helping out an old man from getting beat up. The old man realizes the kid has a good heart but can't fight so he helps him train. He trains him in the snake style. Jackie then meets a man who says he is a colleague of the old man, jackie doesn't believe him so tests him, and this is one of my favorite fights of all time. Hwang Jang Lee HONESTLY scared the shi* out of me in this movie. Just looking at him is scary enough, but with how fast he moves and the power in his kicks, he can be compared to no one. I don't want to give away the rest of this movie, but the rest of it is very good, and unforunately the final fight scene was only average. This is an experiment by Woo-ping that he perfected in drunken master.

Chan's first flick that boost him to stardom.......2006-02-10

This is a decent flick of Jackie Chan's early stuff. Jackie had a good share of unsuccessful films with Lo Wei, because he didn't use Jackie Chan to the fullest. Lo also tried to make Jackie Chan another Bruce Lee. But this is his Jackie's first collaboration with Yuen Woo Ping (the choreographer from The Matrix triology, Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Unleased), and he introduced Jackie to the genre of kung-fu comedy.

This DVD (the Columbian Tristar version) is the second-best version out there. This version, however, cuts out a brief fight between a cat and a snake (this fight scene is important to the plot). To get the full story, buy the Mei Ah version, or the Hong Kong version.

Terrible Quality.......2006-01-29

This is my favorite Jackie Chan movie of all time, and unfortunately I was trying to save a few dollars by buying the cheaper one, big mistake! This thing will hardly play at all, very poor quality image. It is not worth the disk it's on. Now I have to get the remastered one anyway, sigh. Lesson learned.
