Jackie Chan ... Chien Fu Hwang Jang-lee ... Shang Kuan-yin Simon Yuen Siu-tin ... Beggar/Pai Chang-tien Dean Shek Tin ... Teacher Li Fung Hak-on ... Snake Fist master Tino Wong Cheung ... Three Provinces Champ Peter Chan Lung ... Instructor Tyrone Hsu Hsia ... Su Chen Charlie Chan Yiu-lam ... Master Hung Roy Horan ... Priest Yuen Yat-choh ... Fung Ging-man ... Teacher Chui Chiang Kam ... Ah Kwai Chu Chi-ling ... Choi Fai ... Chan Laap-ban ...
one of the first big hits for Jackie. the Snake Fist and Eagle Claw schools are at war. Pai masquerades as an old man to keep living. Jackie is at a school cleaning up, befriends the old man and gets to learn kung fu. good classic kung fu FILM. not much in the reasons of why the clans are at war, they just are.
Jackie gets one of his teeth knocked out by a kick from Hwang! more info here: www.kungfucinema.com/reviews/snakeintheeaglesshadow.htm

I remember going up to Sacramento just to buy this one. I was actually somewhat disappointed with it the first time I watched it; I thought Drunken Master was way better. However, as I've come to understand the genre a lot more, I've come to like the movie more. It's far from Jackie's best, but it's good showcase for Chan's acrobatic abilities and the Yuen Clan's choreography talents.
