Such a Classic, i prefer the second one better, i mean Donnie Yen vs Jet Li in their physical prime uff. But the first one is also very good and very impactful in it's themes.

Classic kung fu movie with a vengeance
Way much better than the so called Hollywood imitation and knockoffs

Drunken Master (1978), Shaolin Temple(1982), Tai Chi Master (1993), 5, Deadly Venoms(1978), 36 Chambers of Shaolin(1978), Snake in the Eagles Shadow (1978),Once Upon a Time in China 2 (1992), Hero (2000) and Fearless (2006) are the top tier greatest Kung Fu movies..Once Upon A Time in China (1991) can be counted tier 2 in the list.

Interesting wide mix of Kung Fu films you’ve stated there DJ. All great films but does say Snake in The Eagles Shadow display a richly realised world, great characters and a wonderfully realised historical setting? Or does the film hinge on a great performance by Jackie and nothing else?

Personally I prefer 2 but the whole thing slaps

[@jakeonfilm]

Our video didn’t convince you? No worries the sequel is great as well, especially the end duel with Donnie. Classic stuff!

[@w8ngr]

@@jakeonfilm no Donnie yen and jet li just do it for me great video as well though but the heart wants what the heart wants 🤣

To me it could be a better movie if it not have those exaggerated moves
