As shown in the image above, avoiding a lethal snake fist requires great skill and cunning acrobatic like grace. At a moments notice you have to be able to divert through blocking or jumping to avoid its venomous blow. When contrasted with monkey kung fu style, the snake fist is even more highly entertaining to witness on the big screen.

It’s no secret I love monkey kung fu in movies and better when their is a kung fu training sequence like the above in the mix and it’s even better when they oppose the snake fist style! Well, Snake in the Monkey’s Shadow has all three and as far as I’m concerned is the king of monkey kung fu cinema.
