Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978)
Reviewed by: ororama on 2013-03-01
Snake in the Eagle's Shadow stars Jackie Chan as a servant at a Kung Fu school who serves as a punching bag to assist the school's teachers to attract and keep wealthy students with minimal skills. Chan provides his usual mix of impressive acrobatics and goofy comedy, and Simon Yuen is fun as the master disguised as a beggar who teaches Chan the Snake Fist style.

The ambitions of the movie are modest, but director Yuen Wo-Ping creates a satisfying mix of action and comedy, and it serves as a strong early showcase for the talents that made Jackie Chan a major star.
