Attention experts, need help with the title of a film..


I watched a certain kung fu movie some 15 years ago late one night/early morning on a local station and it has been bugging me to death that I could never remember the title. The movie had a very typical "kung fu student leaves his home and/or master(master was killed?) to test his style of animal kung fu against the other animal styles. The part that really stuck with me was when the student came to the top of a hill, looked down on the beach and saw a man practicing his CRAB style kung fu. A very cool and funny fight scene ensued, complete with the crab style man moving sideways in a "horse stance" and using his hands as pinchers.

If anyone can help me with this it would be much appreciated and would end about 15 years worth of frustration too;)

No sure this has been answered yet, but the only kung fu flick I've seen with Japanese crab style (dude was in a horse stance on a beach, using his arms & hands as pincers) was Heroes of the East (1978). Chinese Kung Fu expert in different fighting techniques fights various Japanese martial arts experts (includes lots of weapons).

Your answer to OP drew me here to realize that I wanted this answer too. This one stood out as particularly awesome among the many kung fu films I used to watch as a kid in the 70/80s. I think that Crab-style guy leads with poison darts shooting out of the bamboo of his cart.

Thank you on his behalf and mine. A golden memory that now has a sign pointing the way.
