Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (Chinese: 蛇形刁手; lit. 'Snake Form Tricky Hand') is a 1978 Hong Kong martial arts action comedy film directed by Yuen Woo-ping in his directorial debut. It stars Jackie Chan, Hwang Jang-lee, and Yuen Woo-ping's real life father, Yuen Siu-tien. The film's plot is about Chien Fu (Jackie Chan), an orphan who is bullied at a kung fu school, meeting an old beggar, Pai Cheng-tien (Yuen Siu-tien), who becomes his sifu (teacher) and trains him in Snake Kung Fu.

A classic, but...

Oh boy, I think I might have to make my first mod decision, already. :D

That YouTube channel : is there anything to indicate it is licensed to distribute this or other movies? I looked at the About page, and it didn't say. No website, either.

On its Videos page I see some Hollywood movies listed but without their actual titles (e.g. They Live but entitled as "Collision Club || Hollywood Action Adventure Movie in English").

That to me indicates it's an unlicensed channel. Do you have any more info on it?

Hey, so now I feel bad for encouraging you to start this community. :) I didn't mean to give you a bunch of work, haha.

You get to decide how you want to proceed here, but my take for the fullmovies community has been - if YT leaves the video up, then we can share it. If YT has a problem with it, they will remove it or restrict it in some countries, for instance.

I've never worried about it, IOW, at the level you're discussing here. But again, it's your call. If you remove this share, I will completely understand.

No worries!

I'll just need to set out a policy that people can see. Probably using this thread as a basis https://piefed.social/post/966384#comment_6743297
