There are three types of kung fu styles I find to be the most impressive:Eagle's Claw, The Crane and Monkey kung fu,,,any kung fu flicks which has these thyles in it,,,to me is always facinating. However,I though Eagle's Claw was a really good movie,,,the cinematography and choreography is well put together,,,a really great flick to check out!!

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.

Hey, another one of those old school kung fu classics where the white-haired villan must be killed off. Yes, this is one of those.
Tai Seng - Martial Arts Theater did a pretty good job with the transfer to DVD of this classic. When I first saw it on VHS it was great then. The overdubs and picture quality was pretty good. The widescreen is exceptional - can't complain at all.
In this flick you basically have the Praying Mantis school trying to eliminate The Eagle's Claw school. The head pupil, played by Lo Lieh, pretends to defect to the Praying Mantis school after pretending to kill his master. In actuality, his master was fatally injured by a chest blow from the teacher from the Praying Mantis school. He died two days later. Knowing he will die soon, the teacher from The Eagle's Claw school told his head pupil to infiltrate The Praying Mantis school in order to learn their kung fu techniques in order to later take revenge. The Eagle's Claw school soon put out the word that the head pupil killed their master and that they wanted him dead. The teacher from The Praying School felt he could use this situation to his advantage by enlisting the help of Lo Lieh to kill everyone in The Eagle's Claw school. After The Eagle's Claw plan was discovered by the Praying Mantis school, the white-haired villan decided to quickly outfox his enemies by attacking them earlier than planned.
This is an old-school must have!

Now before I get to the movie let me say something about these
MAT (Martial Arts Theatre) dvd's! YOU WILL NOT FIND THESE
ANYWHERE ELSE! Most of these movies are lost and will never be
found! You will have to put up with the fact that these films
can't be saved to perfection! Perhaps a shot in a dark you will
find even a few of these in widescreen! Like Crash Cinema's My
12 Kung Fu Kicks! You should be thankful that these films are
still around and you should be brown-nosing Tai Seng for keeping
them alive as of today! Want someone to blame for fullscreen
crap, blame Ocean Shores! This copy of Eagle's Claw is in
widescreen (one of the few MAT films in widescreen! The picture
is good but not perfect! The film itself is one of the better
kung fu films ever made! Lee Tso Nam is one of the best b-movie
indie kung fu film directors ever! You should check out his
other films! Most avalible from Tai Seng's MAT! THe fights were
good and there is alot of it!
