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;)

The only movie I can think of with a crab style martial arts is "Heroes of the East". It stars Gordon Liu who uses his Gung Fu training to fight Japanese martial artists in a series of unique fights. Though it really doesn't match your description, one of the Japanese fighters (a ninja) uses a "crab fist" martial arts and walks and fights just like a crab.

I could be wrong,but I think the name of it may be Fist of the Golden Monkey,starring a guy named Elton Chong ,and a guy who usually played villians,Eagle Han.

That may be it, but it's a bit different than I remember.

Operation Scorpio, maybe?
