A great double pack of movies!
by Brian (Chicago, IL)
Im here to do a review for the movie horror holiday as pretty much everyone else has already done the other movie featured (which is still a REALLY great movie)
I happened to actually enjoy horror holiday quite a bit. Reason being is that for an ACTION movie it really goes all out. Now, note i said ACTION and not MARTIAL ARTS. The martial arts in this movie takes a back seat to the kind of stuff people who like action movies look for. Namely chase scenes, explosions, and the like. In that regard, this movie has it all!
It has not one, but TWO chase scenes, (one of which involves scooters!) A giant car explosion, People climbing around the outside of a hotel, and...get this. Near the end of the movie it breaks into a song. Not like someone in the movie singing, but rather one of those "musical numbers" you tend to see in movies all the time now. And it's translated to boot!
Finishing the movie is an awesome beach fight featuring the main character of the movie fighting against this guy who uses a claw attached to a whip as a weapon.
Well worth finding, as most likely you'll find it cheap. Buy it for Snake in the monkeys shadow, but also for this!
4/5
DAMN GOOD FLICC!! DAMN THE TRANSFERER..
by Deandrea J. King (clay)
SNAKE IN MONKEYS SHADOW IS DEFINANTLY A MUST HAVE. CHOREOGRAPHY AND THE DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE MONKEY AND SNAKE STYLES ARE NOTHING LESS THEN GREAT. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE QUALITY SUCKS ON THIS DVD. ITS BAD BUT ITS NOT THAT BAD. IT WAS STILL WATCHABLE. IVE HAVE SEEN ALOT WORSE. I DIDNT BOTHER WATCHING HORROR HOLIDAY. ILL WATCH IT ONE DAY...
2/5
Snake in the Monkeys Shadow
by L. Thrower (Cincninati Ohio)
Great Movie
Horrible copy.
This was not remastered. I have this as a 20 year old video tape.
My old tape is better than this dvd copy.
3/5
HORRIBLE picture quality, but Snake in the Monkey's Shadow is UNCUT!!!
by morgoth (omaha, NE)
This DVD would get a 4 star rating, except for the fact that 'Snake in the Monkey's Shadow' has extremely bad picture quality. It looks like Videoasia found the film reel in a lake and just dried it out before transferring it to DVD. While the picture is washed out, it is still watchable, and, it is UNCUT!!
I will save my full review of this in case a remastered uncut version ever comes out, but I will tell you this movie is one of my personal favorites. The snake style has never looked so good. Wilson Tong is by far one of the best snake stylists ever to appear on screen and he really lets loose as one of the villains. I don't like John Chiang in most of his old school movies (I do like a lot of the work he did in the late 80's), but he looks outstanding in this old school masterpiece. And Pomson Shi's monkey style absolutely has to be seen.
I won't talk about the Dorian Tan movie 'Horror Holiday' because I couldn't follow it and it's one of the biggest pieces of garbage I have ever seen, but this DVD is worth it for 'Snake in the Monkey's Shadow'. The reason this movie being uncut is so important is because there is a very unique scene where one of Chiang's 2 teachers tells Chiang that his pet baboon is actually his kung fu teacher. Once Chiang's teacher dies, he watches the baboon fight a snake and learns how to beat the 2 snake masters that killed his teachers. Hopefully no animal rights groups have heard of this movie because they would absolutely flip out (and with good reason), but it is a very good scene and by far the longest animal fight I have ever witnessed in a kung fu movie. Not quite as good as the hawk type bird fighting the monkey in 'Iron Monkey', but better than the cat fighting the snake in 'Snake in the Eagle's Shadow'. Watching it uncut definitely makes a big difference since all other DVD releases not only cut out the baboon fighting the 10 foot cobra, they also cut out the flashbacks in the final fight.
'Snake in the Monkey's Shadow' gets a very solid 4/5 rating from me. Hardly any faults to be found. And great kung fu of course!
1/5
Great Kung Fu-bad reproduction
by T. Rugg (Sandy, Utah United States)
This is a great Kung Fu movie that I have owned for years on VHS. When it came out on DVD, I was quick to pick up a copy. I definitely should have waited. The reproduction of this movie is almost unwatchable. Red shadows litter the movie and blur many details in the movie. As a matter of fact this DVD looks like it was copied from a poor VHS using crappy duplication equipment. The infamous rising line that comes from poor VHS duplication is present in this edition. Bottom Line-Movie = 5 stars and quality of reproduction = unwatchable.
