Tiger & Crane Fists (Chinese: 虎鶴雙形) (a.k.a. Savage Killers) is a 1976 kung fu movie, starring and directed by 70s Hong Kong star Jimmy Wang Yu.
The story concerns the Tiger and the Crane martial arts style of two schools that has been separated from each other for many years. No one can determine which technique is the best. Both organizations find they must put their differences aside and work together in order to defeat Lu Ting Chu, who is a nearly invincible lackey for Japanese occupational forces. Defeating Chu is essential to repelling the Japanese invaders.
Footage from the film was later used in the 2002 comedy movie Kung Pow! Enter the Fist, alongside new footage shot by Steve Oedekerk, who also digitally inserted himself over Wang in many scenes, to create an original plot separate from this film.
