Starring: Cliff Lok, Shih Kien. Directed by: Tin Chi Ng
Many kung-fu movies were filmed on a shoestring budget, but made up for the shoestring budget with a creative storyline, intense action, and scenic filming location. This film is a very good example of this. In this one, Cliff Lok plays Chen Yi-Hu, a very cocky and arrogant 19 or 20 year old kung-fu fighter who wants to do nothing with his life except be the best fighter around. At the beginning of the movie, he challenges all the best-known fighters and beats the snot out of them.
He then finds out about Tiger (Shih Kien, who played the villain in "Enter the Dragon"), who happens to have spent the past 20 years serving a prison sentence. Chen gets himself sent to prison, seeks out Tiger, and breaks him out so they can have their duel. Once Tiger is outside, his past quickly catches up with him and Chen has to watch out for him so noone else can defeat him except himself.
All in all "Tiger's Claw" is a very good and intense kung-fu movie. Both Cliff Lok and Shih Kien play their parts very well and this makes the movie very intense. This movie is worth at least one watch, especially if you're in the mood for a simple, quick, 85-minute time-killer of a movie!
