Does anybody know much about these films?
Are they actually sequels to "Snake In The Eagles Shadow" or are they just retitled independent martial arts films?
Vengeance released part 2 and a mate of mine has part 3 on VHS.
Can anyone shed any light on these films?

They are not direct sequels to the 1978 Jackie Chan film. They both starred Wang Tao as a Snake Fist stylist.

The original title for Snake in the Eagle's Shadow II is
Snaky Knight Fight Against Mantis

The original title for Snake in the Eagle's Shadow III is
The Damned
It was released BEFORE Snake in the Eagle's Shadow in Hong Kong.

In #2 I think Wong Tao is playing JAckie's character, but it doesn't really matter. The movie is not exactly quality, but the fights are a bit above average. Nice cameos from Carter Wong and Alan Hsu at the start, one of Lung Fei's best performances, and Chen Sing and Wong Tao are also good.

I liked the Damned. Especially the ending.

The Damned is a great movie with one of the greatest endings I have ever seen !!!!!!!!! Snaky Knight was just average for me.

Yeah, I have to find my copy of Snaky Knight again. On the cover I have (Yes, the good ol' Xenon Version that used to cost $2.00...got it back over 10 years ago), it features Jackie on the background then on the bottom are Wong Tao and Carter Wong with the title Snake in the Eagle's Shadow II
