Snake in the Eagle's Shadow

Snake in the Eagle's Shadow

1978

An early Jackie Chan fave packed with pure action and a classic revenge plot. Chan is a poor orphan who's abused by local bullies using the Eagle Claw style of martial arts. When a master of the outlawed Snake Fist style teaches Chan self-defense, a new battle line is drawn on two fronts: Chan must save himself and save Snake Fist from extinction.
