SummarySnake And Crane Arts Of Shaolin (1978)
Content
THis film is boring but the kung fu is brilliant! 8 kung fu masters get together to write a book which contains secrets of each of their styles. When they are murdered somehow Jackie ends up with the book. Everyone tries to steal the book from Jackie but ofcourse they have to fight my hero (Jackie) first!

Summaryexcellent style
Content
this movie's plot is weak and steriotypical, the dubbing is [bad] and Jackie barely smiles, but the kung fu, which is what I bought it for in the first place, is excellent.

I study both the snake and the crane styles of shaolin and I must say, aside form all the cartwheels and usuall razzle dazzle of movie kung fu, the coreography, (which Chan was highly involved in) was excellent and mostly true to the real styles of shaolin.

If you like alot of action, blood and childish swear words dubbed in to movie then buy this.

It's excellent

SummaryJackie is a GOD!
Content
This is, hands down the best Jackie kung-fu movie ever made! It has some of the best fight scenes ever filmed and the story is actually very good and has somewhat of a twist ending. By far, this is the ULTIMATE JACKIE WUP-[rear]S movie! This film was done before Jackie found a sence of humor, and he lets loose on all who oppose him, even the chicks(they are awesome kung-fu in their own right). All the action leads up to my favorite fight scene at the end.... DO NOT PASS UP THIS MOVIE!!!!! If you are thinking, don't! Just buy it!

SummaryJackie at his BEST
Content
Ladies and Gentlemen, you have found it. The cream of the crop! This kung-fu flick has got to be in the top 5 of the greatest kung-fu movies ever made. This film has everything: unbelievable fight scenes (with the snake and crane styles), hilarious slapstick and a cocky jackie. I would give this one 6 stars if i could. Trust me, one of the best! The dubbing is pretty funny (jackie's voice is hilarious) and the storyline is pretty good too. (for a kung-fu flick) This one is a little harder to find, but if you come across it, don't you dare pass it up. you won't regret it.

Summarylook closely
Content
the slapstick jackie chan fan might like this one, might not. the seasoned artist, however will find it a gem. this is the role the character LEI WULONG from tekken 3 was designed. not so much like chan's cheese flicks, but if you look closely, you will be able to catch clips of the awesome style of the snake and crane. it even has bits of dragon fist and eagle claw. i highly reccommend this flick.
