Snake in the Eagle's Shadow

New Digital Restoration!

(1978) dir Woo-Ping Yuen w/Jackie Chan, Siu Tien Yuen [98 min; DCP]
Jackie’s first real starring role was also a legitimate blockbuster (it outgrossed every other Hong Kong film ever made to that point) and helped to reinvent the martial arts movie. A servant at a school headed by conmen runs across the last master of Snake Fist Style kung fu and begs to learn more… with three ruthless killers on his trail, the cantankerous master agrees to become a teacher.
