TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

jfarms1956 Snake In The Eagle's Shadow is for those movie buffs who are kung fu wannabees. It is also for those who are die hard Jackie Chan fans and for those who love action movies. The film does clip along at a fast enough pace so that one does not get bored. I can see the kung fu wannabees practicing their moves along with the movie. This is not what I consider a typical Jackie Chan movie. His movies usually have more humor in them. This reminds me of the old westerns whereby you have shoot 'em up scenes throughout the movies, however, this is karate chop 'em up instead. This is not my kind of movie even though I am a fan of Jackie Chan.

poe426 I'm no fan of animal cruelty (anyone who can casually take the life of an animal, I'm convinced, would have no compunction whatsoever killing a fellow human being), SNAKE IN THE EAGLE'S SHADOW boasts what must be a first: a toe-to-toe slugfest between a cat and a cobra. The cobra must've been devenomed: at one point, he's wrapped around the cat, who goes leaping wildly through the air trying to dislodge him; it seems hard to believe that that cobra couldn't have bitten the cat at that point- but the cat wins! (If, like myself, you're fond of cats- and the only people who aren't are the people who haven't raised one of their own- I highly recommend CAT'S THE MOVIE- but avoid CATS AND DOGS, the Disney movie from a couple of years back, at all costs: it's nothing less than Evil.) The aforementioned feline proves inspirational to Jackie Chan and he begins to incorporate some of its moves into his own kung fu fighting style. Well crafted in the extreme, SNAKE IN THE EAGLE'S SHADOW is one of the better early Chan entries.

callanvass This is the film that made Jackie Chan a superstar! it's one of Jackie's absolute best, with breathtaking fight scenes and a really wicked story!. All the characters are wonderful, and it's extremely well made as well, plus Jackie Chan is simply amazing in this!. One of my favorite moments in this film is when Jackie's pet cat has a duel with a poisonous snake(The Cat Won!), it was really well done, and I thought Jackie and Siu Tien Yuen(Grandmaster Pai Cheng-Tien) had wonderful chemistry together, plus the Training sequences were especially awesome!. The fight choreography is incredible, and there is some great slapstick humor as always in Jackie Chan's films!, plus Jang Lee Hwang is really menacing as the main opponent/villain. There are actually a couple of really cool plot twists, especially one near the end that I didn't see coming at all!, plus all the characters are very likable!, and it was nice to see this was subtitled instead of dubbed!.This is the film that made Jackie Chan a superstar!, it's one of Jackie's absolute best, with breathtaking fight scenes and a really wicked story and I say Go see it right this instant!. The Direction is superb!. Woo-ping Yuen does a superb job here with fantastic camera work, and just keeping the film at an extremely fast pace!. The Acting is fantastic!. Jackie Chan is amazing as always, and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, funny, had excellent chemistry with Siu Tien Yuen(old man), kicked that ass, had a really cool character, and added his his usual awesome charisma!(Jackie Rules!!!!!). Siu Tien Yuen is great as the old man/Jackie's master, he was really funny, and brought a lot of class, he also made me grin throughout!. Jang Lee Hwang is one hell of a martial artists, and played a fantastic villain/main opponent here, I wouldn't want to mess around with this guy, he was extremely menacing. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall Go see it right this instant!. ***** out of 5

meishu Snake in the Eagles shadow is one of the best Kung Fu movies, I really like Jackie's snake style in this movie. If anyone in here like Snakefist Kung Fu like me, it's a must see! I really like the actors in this movie. Hwang Jang Lee, Yuen Siu Tien, Roy Horan. Specially Hwang Jang Lee with his incredible kicking skills. Jackie VS Hwang is the ultimate Kung Fu fight! There's also some great Comic, like every other Chan movie. The acting is also great! The film is about Chien Fu the young Jackie. Who's Punchbag for a Kung Fu school. He's an orphan. He meets Yuen Siu Tien, which will become his Sifu in snake fist Kung Fu. The final match is between Jackie Chan and Hwang Jang Lee, which as i said before is the ultimate fight. This film is a great example, why the early Jackie Chan movies are the best! Snake in the eagles shadow is a true Jackie Chan classic!
