Snake in The Eagle's Shadow is most likely the earliest action film I've ever watched, and it did not dissapoint.
Chien Fu is an instantly likeable character, unlike Fei-Hung in Drunken Master. The film also has Jackie's classic slapstick humor which is why we love him and his works to this day.
It also has some ridiculous fighting scenes and acting, which is what makes the film amazing.
But what I really love about the English dub of the film is ridiculous sound effects and voice actors, which was so bad it was just funny.
Jwang Lee also does an amazing job as the villian. He never gives up, and I like that, even if it's for bad purposes.
The casting choice for the film is genius and also the same as Drunken Master, which I review next week!
P.S. There are no eagle shadows in the film, and even if there were, I don't think you'd see a snake in them.
