Movie Reviews of Eagle's Claw

Movie Review: A classic
Summary: 4 Stars

Eagle's claw has a great plot, the whole movie moves at a perfect pace. Loads of great kungfu action by the masters!

Movie Review: Pretty avarage kung fu romp, nothing special here.
Summary: 3 Stars

The best thing about this film is the main villain Ching Yi, with pointed boots and a stupid hat. Fighting is surprisingly weak, but gets better towards the end and the plot has a few interesting twists (though predictable.) Enjoyable film, but doesn't have to be seen more than once (ok, I've seen 3 times already...).
For some really energetic fight action, get Sammo Hung's masterpiece Warriors Two (the best kung fu film ever), also from 1978 (which makes Eagle's Claw look very slow and very very old skool). But still. Maybe Lee Tso Nam's best film (definately over-rated here, it's far from 5-star quality, or even 4,) so see it if you have to (worth a rental.)

Movie Review: average fu at best, but a story that will really keep you interested
Summary: 3 Stars

And certainly chang yi playing the white-haired villian is always great. Overall, a really good story.

When the master is dying at this schol, he is going to name a successor to him. He does not pick the elder student(chi Kuan-chun), but a younger one(don wong). From here we get quite a few unexpected twists. And they are very well done.

So no real great fighting, just some good old movie magic happening. I think this movie was missing dorian tan. He could have boosted it up to a 4, but the action just wasn't all that great.
