'I wish Mike and the 'bots from Mystery Science Theater 3000 were aroundto make fun of this awful film.'
-Alvin George
The Eagle Shadow Fist was one of the most loved films where Jackie Chan, playing the starring role of Si To, actually dies. The Eagle Shadow Fist slot drew its inspiration from this 1973 Chinese film developed by the peaceful RealTime Gaming Company. The Eagle Shadow Fist slot is a clone of the Coyote Cash slot game by RTG. Eagle Shadow Fist is a five-reel, 25-payline slot set in a small village somewhere in China. Gamers will have to help the poor Chinese villagers defeat their Japanese invaders, so join Jackie Chan, Qiu Yuen and Hao Li in their battle, and you might win a smashing Progressive Jackpot, or trigger 20 free spins with a sweet multiplier that can go.

Reviews
NUMSKULL'SREVIEW: Let's see here. Multiple alternate titles: check. Evil Japaneseinvaders incessantly harassing the women and old folks: check. Jackie Chan,before anyone knew who he was: check. Absurdly abundant and even more absurdlyfake-looking blood: check. Pitifully small selection of sound effects forfight scenes: check.
Yup, soundslike a recipe for crap to me. This is probably the movie that Jackie Chanwishes he could forget more than any other...and perhaps he has, sincehe's taken so many blows to the head and made so many other shitfests sinceits completion. Avoid like the cliche...er, the plauge.
NUMSKULL'SRATING: 2/10
ALVIN GEORGE'SREVIEW: A stupid '70s movie about actors in China who go up againstthe Japanese during WWII This film has it all: bad dubbing, grainy filmstock,mediocre fight scenes, and an incredibly lame plot. A young Jackie Chan,wearing a buzz cut, dies about halfway through the movie and I just aboutdied too. In fact, after he died, I didn't watch this movie any further.I wish Mike and the 'bots from 'Mystery Science Theater 3000'were around to make fun of this awful film.

CODY'S REVIEW:This is one of the films that I have listed as one of Jackie's worst movies.The reasons that I don't like this movie are quite obvious. JACKIE DIES!You will not believe how angry I was when Jackie died in the middle ofthe film. I felt like whooping the manager of the Blockbuster by my house'sass. Another thing I hate about this film is the plot, which is the usual'Fist of Fury/ I hate Japs' deal.
After watchingit a second time, I tried to ingnore Jackie dying and consentrated on thefilm itself, but it still didn't help. The fights are terrible, especiallythe finale. The chinese renegade and the japanese fighter fight througha mountain, a plain, a jungle, a pond, and finally back to the mountainwhere the chinese guy sticks his fingers in the japanese's eyes and thenthrows him down the mountain.
Don't go throughthe horror that I have been through, please don't rent this movie.
CODY'S RATING:0/10 'Jackie, what are you doing?' 'Killing Japs!'
CROSS'SREVIEW: This movie may have had the best ending of any movie ever madebut I don't know because I have didn't finished it. I got the need to slitmy wrists to ease the torture of sitting through this piece of shit aboutten minutes in. Jackie is only a supporting character and he gets killedhalf-way through the movie. Jackie was probbably pleading with the directorto just kill him already so he could do something more constructive likepiss off the triads.

TYLER'SREVIEW: Well I bought a (get this) a 4-pack of Jackie Chan films thatincluded this film,the pack was called the 'Rumble Pack'.Whydo all these film companies (like Parade) keep adding 'rumble'in there synopsis. Well time for the movie review. Eagle Shadow Fist another'I hate Japs' flick , that has Jackie in a 'minor role'.In fact he gets killed during the end of the film. The movies end is verydisturbing, when the Japanese started to slaughter those villagers. Thelast (with the Japanese Captain and the freedom fighter) fight is a long,predictable, and drawed out process. Down below is what to expect
- 1. 'I(Freedom Fighter) beat up your men, and then you (Japanese Guy) hit me'
- 2. 'Youbeat me many times'
- 3. 'Morebeating of me'
- 4. 'Andyet another scene of beating me up'
- 5. 'Nowwe fight in river, where I get beat as well'
- 6. 'Itake much beat, now I beat you'
- 7. 'Hah!Now you take beat'
- 8. 'Ow!You beat me'
- 9. 'Nowwe on top of hill, I jab hand in your eye sockets'
- 10. 'Hah!Now you blind, I kick you down hill'
- 11. 'Youdead'
- 12. The end

KISHIGAI'SREVIEW: It was cool that Jackie dies. Doh, didn't mean to spoil themovie. But it's bad. It makes you fall asleep. The only reason to watchit is if your taking the Martial Art style Eagle Shadow Fist and it hasthe same moves or something. But I thought it was bad.
KISHIGAI'SRATING: 2/10
VICTOR NGUYEN'SREVIEW: You know, I always thought that the word 'shit' meantexcrements coming out of your ass. After watching this film, I finallyfound out the true meaning of this word. Jackie only makes a 15 minutesupporting character role, which really sucks hairy dick!! This movie isso crappy that it is beyond comprehension. It is so crappy that it makes'The Protector' look Oscar worthy. It is so crappy that I wouldrather spend my time getting together with all the guest reviewers on thispage and take turns sandwiching Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp. Heck,I wouldn't mind having the president join in, just as long as I'm not watchingthis film! It is so crappy that I would rather spend time drinking lighterfluid and stick a match up my ass to see what the effect was! It is socrappy that I would rather go to a Hanson concert, hop on stage, and beatthe living crap out of those fags (I might just do that anyway), then spendthe next couple of years imprisoned in an LA county jail with a cellmatenamed Bertha than watch this film. When Jeff mentioned that you shouldsnap this tape appart before putting it in the VCR, he was not kidding!!Stay away from this film! A good use for the tape besides being a paperweightis that it makes a good flaming douche bag filler upper. In case that youhaven't got the message, stay away from the film, believe me, you'd ratherstick your nose up a horse's ass than watch a film like this. You couldtrust me on this one. (I know, I'm doing a cheap and very lame Numskullimitation, but it's alot of fun though)
VICTOR NGUYEN'SRATING: Just take 0/10, subtract it by the first 10 digit number thatcomes to your head, and divide it by 2 (This is only because that eye partat the end was cool, but good luck sitting through it til the end)
JIM CARREY'SREVIEW: I don't know about ya'll, but this is how Dimension would releasethis film in the theaters in a land filled with horrible movies: There'snever a descent actor around when you need him but when this actor's around,one is all you need - Jackie Chan in his worst movie ever EAGLE SHADOWFIST....Well I'll be fair, we learned 2 things from this picture: We nowknow the color of blood is a bright neon red and women, children, and theblind can be killed on screen with no remorse - And talk about the actorplaying the hero, I'm not crackin' on the guy or anything, but facially,every time I saw him, I felt like saying 'It's Howdy Doody Time, It'sHowdy Doody Time...'. It hurts me to say what I'm about to - The actiondirector for the film was Yuen Cheung-Yan, that's right, the brother ofYuen Wo-Ping, he's even in the movie at the beginning. He plays the headof the Japanese soldiers who march backstage to capture Jackie and HowdyDoody. Even worse, another Yuen Clan member, Yuen Yat-Chor also has a cameoas one of the guys hiding in the bushes who kill Jackie. I can't believethe action director for this piece of crap was the same guy who did theaction for 'Once Upon A Time In China', 'Fire Dragon','Sword of Many Loves', 'King of Beggars', 'OperationPink Force 2' and 'Miracle Fighters'. Now that I've disclosedthis horrible secret I feel my life may be in danger from the Yuen Clan.I'm not scared though, I'll just hire Wang Yu for protection -- after all,I am one who loved Fantasy Mission Force.

DANIEL'SREVIEW: I was at my video store seeing which Chan movie I should buynow. I see 'Fist of Anger', I figured it was a documentary becauseit said 'Plus an interview of Jackie Chan and go behind the scenesto Mr. Nice Guy.' So I bought the movie. I watched it, and there isa movie, not a Doc, so I look on the back and it says 'AKA: In EagleShadow Fist' So I said to myself, 'oh well I'll just fast fowardto the behind the scenes and the interview', so I fast foward throughthe whole movie and there is nothing about any behind the scenes or interviews!!!The only high light of the film is when that guy sticks his hand in theother guys eyes!!!!
DANIEL'SRATING: 0.5/10 (a 1/2 point for the eye part!)
ANDREW'SREVIEW: Once a friend and I were watching an old James Bond film withlousy acting, stupid gags, and a really stupid plot. Every five minuteshe would shout out 'THIS JAMES BOND SUCKS!' Six months laterI got my hands on this film, and watched it with my friend. His reactionwas exactly the same- 'THIS JACKIE CHAN SUCKS!' Other commentsincluded 'They were learning how to use fake blood in this one'and 'stupid'. I really can't explain it, all I know is that thisfilm fails to entertain on any level. There's no comedy, the acting wasa tragedy, and the fighting scenes were all pathetic, usually consistingof one guy pounding on another guy's chest once and watching him die. Therewas one cool camera trick where a solid object looked liquid when it wasout of focus. That was the only entertaining clip in the entire film.

SUPERFLY'SREVIEW: I bought this one along with 36 Crazy Fists in the Jacky ChanRumble Pack round 1. Don't buy this, and don't read the lies on the back!I 've e-mailed PPI Entertainment about this, meanwhile stay away from them.Oh yeah, the movie, Well, Chan is a tag along to the main character (whoI've never seen in my life) With his head shaved and his bad sense of humoryou're almost glad he dies in the middle. The fight is OK in some parts,and its really funny to see the main character dump a woman off a cartand then totally disrespect her. I won't repeat what he said. The lastfight is long and seems as if the 'good-guy' is gonna lose, untilHE GOUGES OUT THE BAD GUYS EYE WITH A FINGER!!! How dishonorable!!! Fromthere on out he whoops up until they throw the dummy off the cliff. Kindafun to watch the crap Kung-fu 'classics'!
