Old "Skool' Kung Fu!1.......2006-07-13

There are three types of kung fu styles I find to be the most impressive:Eagle's Claw, The Crane and Monkey kung fu,,,any kung fu flicks which has these thyles in it,,,to me is always facinating. However,I though Eagle's Claw was a really good movie,,,the cinematography and choreography is well put together,,,a really great flick to check out!!

average fu at best, but a story that will really keep you interested.......2006-05-07

And certainly chang yi playing the white-haired villian is always great. Overall, a really good story.

When the master is dying at this schol, he is going to name a successor to him. He does not pick the elder student(chi Kuan-chun), but a younger one(don wong). From here we get quite a few unexpected twists. And they are very well done.

So no real great fighting, just some good old movie magic happening. I think this movie was missing dorian tan. He could have boosted it up to a 4, but the action just wasn't all that great.

Eagle's Claw.......2005-10-11

Hey, another one of those old school kung fu classics where the white-haired villan must be killed off. Yes, this is one of those.

Tai Seng - Martial Arts Theater did a pretty good job with the transfer to DVD of this classic. When I first saw it on VHS it was great then. The overdubs and picture quality was pretty good. The widescreen is exceptional - can't complain at all.

In this flick you basically have the Praying Mantis school trying to eliminate The Eagle's Claw school. The head pupil, played by Lo Lieh, pretends to defect to the Praying Mantis school after pretending to kill his master. In actuality, his master was fatally injured by a chest blow from the teacher from the Praying Mantis school. He died two days later. Knowing he will die soon, the teacher from The Eagle's Claw school told his head pupil to infiltrate The Praying Mantis school in order to learn their kung fu techniques in order to later take revenge. The Eagle's Claw school soon put out the word that the head pupil killed their master and that they wanted him dead. The teacher from The Praying School felt he could use this situation to his advantage by enlisting the help of Lo Lieh to kill everyone in The Eagle's Claw school. After The Eagle's Claw plan was discovered by the Praying Mantis school, the white-haired villan decided to quickly outfox his enemies by attacking them earlier than planned.

This is an old-school must have!

"You're a stupid fool! The biggiest idiot I've ever known!".......2005-05-31

Now before I get to the movie let me say something about these
MAT (Martial Arts Theatre) dvd's! YOU WILL NOT FIND THESE
ANYWHERE ELSE! Most of these movies are lost and will never be
found! You will have to put up with the fact that these films
can't be saved to perfection! Perhaps a shot in a dark you will
find even a few of these in widescreen! Like Crash Cinema's My
12 Kung Fu Kicks! You should be thankful that these films are
still around and you should be brown-nosing Tai Seng for keeping
them alive as of today! Want someone to blame for fullscreen
crap, blame Ocean Shores! This copy of Eagle's Claw is in
widescreen (one of the few MAT films in widescreen! The picture
is good but not perfect! The film itself is one of the better
kung fu films ever made! Lee Tso Nam is one of the best b-movie
indie kung fu film directors ever! You should check out his
other films! Most avalible from Tai Seng's MAT! THe fights were
good and there is alot of it!

Pretty avarage kung fu romp, nothing special here........2002-03-03

The best thing about this film is the main villain Ching Yi, with pointed boots and a stupid hat. Fighting is surprisingly weak, but gets better towards the end and the plot has a few interesting twists (though predictable.) Enjoyable film, but doesn't have to be seen more than once (ok, I've seen 3 times already...).
For some really energetic fight action, get Sammo Hung's masterpiece Warriors Two (the best kung fu film ever), also from 1978 (which makes Eagle's Claw look very slow and very very old skool). But still. Maybe Lee Tso Nam's best film (definately over-rated here, it's far from 5-star quality, or even 4,) so see it if you have to (worth a rental.)

This is the first form taught at the headquarters and great for stance training and developing basic punches and kicks. The instructions are easy to follow and taught pretty much the same as if you were in the class in person.

HORRIBLE PICTURE QUALITY makes this almost unwatchable.......2007-02-05

The picture clears up a bit by the end but it is hard to notice. Even if the movie was remastered in picture quality, the director obviously didn't take his time and it wouldn't even make much of a difference. Most scenes are very badly lit and the picture quality makes it basically unwatchable. I usually don't comment on the picture quality until the end of my review but this cannot be held off for later. Since I have thousands of movies including TV shows and many old movies that are bad bootlegs, I have seen worse picture quality, but not by much. Most people will find it unwatchable but I could stand it. It was very tough to sit through. I have seen nearly all of Tai Seng's Martial Arts Theater releases and this is above and beyond the worst in picture quality that I have seen. Most are more than watchable but this is a crime to release a movie in such poor quality. The movie really isn't any good so I guess it doesn't matter anyways.

The movie is set in the martial world and involves different clans fighting. The Butterfly Clan is the main story and the other clans look to stop them and the plot revolves around finding an antidote. The story is boring and forgettable but there are some good choreographed fight scenes. Not enough though. Chi Kuan-Chun has a cameo at the beginning and Leung Kar-Yan has a small role but both are highly underused.

Wong Hap has always been a good character actor but this story is just stupid. It makes no good use of the stars in the movie such as Chung Wa and Yueh Hua who were both great in 'Killer Clans'. Lo Lieh throws down at the end and it is decent. BIG TIME SPOILER ALERT!!!-Yuen Hua shows up for the final fight after appearing in the beginning and the ending is just about as horrible as the entire movie. END OF SPOLER ALERT THAT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER IF YOU READ IT OR NOT. It is just a horrible movie all the way through and you can tell the director didn't even try. It is very sad to see all these great actors in a movie that should never be remembered.

Eagle's Claw vs. Butterfly Palm.......2005-10-02

What can I say about this one? I can first of all say that true kung fu fans will stay away from this totally crappy - I can't even call it kung fu. Let me tell you the perfect ingredients that produces totally crappy kung fu flicks: 1) Black magic drugs that makes fighters lose their sense of self (that is, they can't speak anymore after taking the drugs but understand hand gestures), will lose their fighting abilities in 30 days and become totally under the spell of an idiot playing a flute; 2) bad - or shall I say totally horrible choreographing; 3) a non-existent plot; 4) bad acting; and 5) lousy overdubs. There's more, but I'll only state my top five.

In this flick, you're suppose to see rival clans battle to the duel, but you will be completely clueless as to the cause of some of the fighting in the first place. They tried to insert a plot, but the idea totally sucked and is at best totally unbelievable. A real plot to a movie would be something that is believable and at the same time holds your attention throughout. You will be totally disappointed in this flick if you are used to being able to understand kung fu movies after you watch them.

If you want to watch a movie that totally leaves you in the dark, has a non-existent plot, contains crappy acting, choreography, and not too great overdubs then by all means - buy this one. A "1" rating is too much for this one!

the hell with that stupid moron from dvdcult.com says about
these MAT films! He has no knowledge of the history of kung fu
cinema! My knowledge of this is limited too, but at least I know
some stuff, and this fruit don't know anything! This movie would
be a descent kung fu film, despite the very confusing story, if
the picture was better! And this is not vhs or tape quality
we're talking about, it's the movie itself! There are some
scenes in the movie where you can't see crap, but overall it is
somewhat watchable! DVD works of course!

fantabulous.......2004-10-04

i love these two movies!
i dont see how you could hate them. Cobra vs. ninja is amazingly bad in a way. but thats what makes it so good! something that may be interesting to learn is that Godfree Hoe who "Directed" this film made it in a rather unusual and unorthadox way; about half of the footage in the film was taken from a film stock wearhouse in Taiwan...it was discarded kung fu footage. he then filmed some sences to help tie the unfinished material together and walla!...Cobra vs ninja was born!

cliche cliche cliche bad kung fu cliche cliche cliche.......2004-07-05

This dvd (i saw the first movie, and about 5minutes of the 2nd) is the biggest waste of time. I got this dvd because I am a eagle claw fan, and in the first move (EAGLE CLAW CHAMPION, i did not see any eagle claw)..

i could promise if you bought these movies it's like watching a 2hr film that was made in 15minutes.. it is such a total cliche! and the people got stupid (they change their minds about everything every line) everything! it's so annoying, and i turned the 2nd film off 5min through because I couldn't stand the cliches and bad kung fu

i say bad kung fu because people block before their opponent throws a punch.. at first i thought it was funny, but then i wanted to see eagle claw.. and they stink..

This is the first and last Brooklyn Zu kung fu dvd I will ever get

Only funny in the "this is really bad" type of funny.......2004-02-02

I have started amassing a kung-fu library of my own, and while I appriciated some of the early bruce lee stuff, i didn't see why everyone loved it so fast. Then I got this DVD. If this was the competition, Bruce Lee must have won every award in the known world. This set of movies is more funny due to its poor job than purely entertaining. Eagle Claw champion is not as funny in this way, but Cobra vs. Ninja is simply awesome. I close with the best three words of the movie "ninja challenge card."
