Review of Jade Claw

Jade Claw (1979)
8/10
Crystal Fist
24 October 2021
A young man vows revenge against the killers of his father. To do this, he must train with his father's teacher who teaches him the "Shadow Claw", a deadly combination of the eagle claw and shadow fist

The plot is very much borrowed from Jackie Chan classics - Drunken master- and probably was done by death by now, nevertheless, Crystal Fist is highly entertaining, full of energy and comic moments. The lead Indonesian star Billy Chong fights really well - dare I say better than Jackie Chan?!!!) and takes a lot of punishment before finishing off the bad guy. As a kid I had seen many kung -fu films, Crystal Fist always stood out in mind as above average entertainment, and it comes to show that you can retread a well-worn plot many times, but as long it's done with energy then it can be very watchable.
