Jackie Chan is given one of his more serious roles and succeeds in giving a fine performance both in the acting and the fighting departments.

No one who claims to be a Hong Kong action cinema fan or a true Chan fan should be without a copy of this movie.

While ‘Rosa’ isn’t one of the best action-comedies to come out of Hong Kong in the 80’s, it is still a constantly watchable one.

It boasts some top notch fight scenes which are further enhanced by another standout performance from the late great Lo Lieh.

‘Snake In The Eagle’s Shadow’ gave Jackie his first chance to shine outside the reigns of Lo Wei, and under the expert guidance of Woo Ping and Ng See Yuen delivers a classic of the genre.

Without doubt this is a powerhouse film that will satisfy even the most demanding fans of the Jade Screen. Worth tracking down at all costs.

This sequel doesn’t match the original, but there are enough fresh ideas to make it watchable.
