Summary :

The main character of the movie, Chian Fu, is an orphan. He was adopted by a martial arts school and he used to do various kinds of work in that school including washing and wiping and lived with a chef of the school. Chien Fu used to secretly watch martial arts while cleaning the school floor.

Because he loved martial arts and was interested in learning martial arts. But a schoolmaster disliked his interest and secretly punished Chien Fu for watching martial arts. This would have made Chien Fu very upset. One day a beggar meets Chien Fu. He who is not a beggar, but a master of martial arts, disguises himself as a beggar as his enemy grows. The beggar has a good friendship with Chien Fu. Seeing Chien Fu's plight, the beggar once taught him martial arts in self-defence. The beggar gave Chien Fu some conditions while teaching martial arts so that Chien Fu would not come forward to save him when he was in danger.

The beggar had an old enemy who always wanted to defeat the beggar in martial arts but could not. The old enemy was desperate to defeat the beggar. The beggar and his enemy both fought in two different styles. The beggar was an expert in the Kung Fu Snake style and the last surviving master of this style. And his enemy was the eagle claw master. Chien Fu was having a good day learning martial arts in snake style. He practised martial arts well and used martial arts for self-defence. One day Chien Fu meets the beggar's enemy. The enemy asks him about the beggar and fights with him but Chien fu is defeated and accepts the enemy as master.

The enemy fights with the beggar, at which point Chien Fu stops the wounded beggar and confronts the enemy. Can Chien Fu fight with the villain? You have to watch the movie to know that.

Review:

The story of the movie Snake in the Eagle's Shadow is truly amazing. Such movies were really rare in the seventies. Considering the screenplay and cinematography of the movie, it can be said that this movie is a masterpiece and classic movie of the seventies. The fighting choreography of the movie is awesome. The movie uses amazing kung fu skills that fascinate me all the time, and even though it is an action movie, the movie has some great comedy scenes that will make you laugh. All in all, you will never get bored watching this movie. Despite being a movie of the seventies, the music of this movie was not to be neglected at all, the background music seemed classic to me. And Jackie Chan's performance was amazing. His fighting and funny moments are worth watching again and again. This Jackie Chan movie is the best action-comedy movie I have ever seen. Originally, comedy was not seen in action movies, but this movie has a mix of action and comedy, which has taken the movie to another height. The rating of this movie on IMDB is 7.4 on 10 but I like the story and acting of this movie so much that I will give this movie 10 out of 10. I can guarantee that watching this masterpiece movie will never make you feel that you have wasted time. So this is a must-watch movie for you.
