| Indonesian screen idol Billy Chong makes his film debut as a boy who
witnesses the slaying of his father by Phoenix Eye Fist expert Jen (Chu
Tiet Wo). Tears later, Billy, now a transient, finds work in the
kitchen of a kung fu gym and befriends an old cook. Little does Billy
know that the cook is an old enemy of Phoenix Eye Jen, who sends his
lackeys Deaf Man and Blind Man to do his bidding. Billy is seriously
injured during the attack, motivating the old cook to teach him Shadow
Eagle Claw, a new technique designed to defeat Jen and his lackeys.
After rigorous training, Billy is ready to confront the deadly Phoenix
Eye Fist. This is the best of the Jackie Chan cash-in movies of the
'70s, brilliantly choreographed by the Yuen Brothers (Snake In The
Eagle's Shadow, Drunken Master), and the film that made Billy Chong an
overnight martial arts sensation. |
