I haven't been to the ezboard in awhile, glad to see it has been moved and not gone away. Also glad to see I'm not the only one requesting film identifications :D

The movie is probably from around 1977-82. The main character, from what I recall, is a tough or angry looking fellow, maybe someone like Beardy or John Liu. He is wearing traditional chinese (peasant?) clothing. After 3/4 way thru the film, his character is met on the road by 2 unsavory types who want to kill him. The main guy kills these two using mostly hand work, few kicks if any, using his hand to strike like a snake (no closed fists). You even get to hear the silly snake noises as he positions for a strike. I believe he kills the first guy by jumping on his shoulders and double-striking his temples.
There may be a Japanese invasion theme, but I cannot recall correctly. I saw the last part of this film about 15 yrs ago on the kung fu theater, and my memory of exact details is dubious.
Does any of this sound familiar? Thanks for any help!
