Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978) Yuen Woo-Ping's kung fu masterpiece stars Jackie Chan in his breakthrough role! The evil Eagle Claw clan are out to destroy all who practice snakefist kung fu. Jackie Chan plays an orphan who befriends an old drunken master of the snakefist style. As we head towards the inevitable showdown, we'll see a slew of kung fu fights, a classic snakefist training sequence, an evil high-kicking Eagle Claw master, a kung fu Jesus, and a death-match between a cat and a cobra!
