Customer Reviews of Snake Deadly Act (Dub Sub Ep)
old "skool" kung fu In my opinion this flick is about average. Grossly overated!! Still worth watching the "LOBSTER STYLE",,weired, but very entertaining for real!!
Above-average kung fu tale of simmering revenge
SNAKE DEADLY ACT (1980) is an exciting kung fu film with several well-staged fights, some interesting characters, and a cast of kung fu favorites. Of chief interest is the casting of Fung Hak On, normally a villain, in the central role of a snake fist expert who waits a generation to get revenge on the monkey style expert, Kuo (Wilson Tong), who defeated him in the spectacular fight scene that opens the movie. Twenty years after that fight, he returns to the town where Kuo rules the roost and very gradually befriends Kuo's son (Ng Kwan Lung), a skilled fighter in his own right who, despite his privileges, uses his power to help the town's underdogs. Fung endeavors to teach the son snake fist (along with some "drunken footwork") and puts young Kuo through a series of grueling training exercises that are much more intense than normal for the genre. Fung keeps his ultimate agenda well-hidden until the very end.
With his beady eyes, bulging cheekbones and square jaw, Fung Hak On (sometimes billed as Feng Ko-An) boasted a powerful tough-guy presence reminiscent of such American action stars as Charles Bronson and Jack Palance. Fung normally played rather flamboyant kung fu bad guys (WARRIORS TWO, ENTER THE FAT DRAGON, MAGNIFICENT BUTCHER), but here he plays a more layered personality, someone who gains our sympathies early on and draws us into the story. Also in the cast are Angela Mao, as a shady brothel owner; Cheng Kang Yeh, as a hapless con man; Bolo Yeung, as a traveling strong man; and all-purpose villain Phillip Ko as Kuo's mysterious housekeeper.
The tape comes in a low-cost edition that, surprisingly, offers a letter-boxed transfer of a widescreen print in its original language, Cantonese, with English subtitles. It's rare to see an old-school kung fu movie in its proper widescreen dimensions and without the usual awkward English dubbing.
Awsome Movie
This movie begins with a fight. No words, no music. Just a great opening fight. That sets the tone for this Old School classic. Snake style & Eagle claw are spotlighted here. Good movie with a unexpected ending. A Must get if you like animal style movies. Subs are sometimes hard to read but who needs subs when its mostly fighting.
