https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_in_the_Monkey%27s_Shadow

I've seen an enormous amount of old-school kung fu in my day, and a lot of the enjoyment I get from it depends directly on whether or not I'm watching the same bad comedy I've seen a million times before.
I would've liked this a lot more had it been within the first couple of dozen fu flicks I'd ever seen. However, just as it started being cliche, it started to weave a little spell on me and I ended up liking it quite a bit. There's some originality waiting to surprise patient viewers.

We begin with a Monkey stylist (Pomson Shi, "Star Runner") fighting a Snake stylist (Charlie Chan, "Legend of a Fighter")! Not too shabby. The Monkey fighter is not only victorious, but virtuous and refuses to kill his opponent.
It then cuts to a young man (John Chang, "Project A") who delivers fish but neglects his work to sneak to the roof of the local school and watch them practice Drunken Boxing. He eventually talks the master (Hau Chiu Sing, "Sun Dragon") into taking him as a student.
Around the same time he meets the Monkey master who saves him from a potential attack by a cobra. Soon afterward, two Snake fighters (Chan again, accompanied by the always awesome Wilson Tong, "Daggers 8") kill both his masters and he must come up with his own hybrid style to defeat them.
