Snake in the Eagle's Shadow ( Chinese : 蛇形刁手 ; lit. ' Snake Form Tricky Hand ' \[ 1 \] ) is a 1978 Hong Kong martial arts action comedy film directed by Yuen Woo-ping in his directorial debut. It stars Jackie Chan , Hwang Jang-lee , and Yuen Woo-ping's real life father, Yuen Siu-tien . The film's plot is about Chien Fu (Jackie Chan), an orphan who is bullied at a kung fu school, meeting an old beggar, Pai Cheng-tien (Yuen Siu-tien), who becomes his sifu (teacher) and trains him in Snake Kung Fu . Right after this film, Yuen Woo-ping directed Drunken Master , released in the same year, which also starred Jackie Chan, Hwang Jang-lee and Yuen Siu-tien. The film established Chan's slapstick kung fu comedy style which he further developed with Drunken Master , while also establishing the basic plot structure used in many martial arts films internationally since then.

Unknown to Chien, the old beggar is actually Pai Cheng-tien, one of the last surviving masters of the Snake-style of kung fu . Pai is on the run from the Eagle Claw clan, which is viciously killing off all of the rival Snake-style masters. He is ambushed by Eagle Claw student Su Chen and an assassin masquerading as a Christian…
