The action was good,the plot and the story line were very entertaining. I would HIGHLY recommend this movie to others. A must add to your collection! Rating: 5 An Essential Martial Arts Film! Anyone that is a fan of martial arts needs to see this film! The film is put together very nicely, and the picture looks great. The story is very good. A students seeks vengeance on the government that killed his friends and family, and seeks out the Shaolin temple. A place where monks only get the opportunity to learn kung fu, they reject him at first but eventually accept him. The intense training of the 35 chambers is shown greatly is one of the best parts of the movie. After his training is complete, he gets the choice of being overseer of one of the 35 chambers but chooses to create his own, the 36th chamber where he wants have the ability to give any man the chance to learn kung fu whether they are a monk or not. See the film to see if he completes this timeless story! Time to go get the other Shaw Brothers films! Rating: 4 A classic but not as good as I remember A classic, no doubt. I get the whole Shoalin proving ground stuff but I could have used more fight sequences. Three sectional staff scene is unbelievable though. Digital transfer is excellent! Rating: 5 SUPERB!!! This is one of the best Martial arts movies ever to come from the Shaw Brothers. Its storyline and dialogue are creative and highly enteraining. The quality of the DVD is tops - with the choces of watching in English, or Cantonese or Mandarian with or without subtitles - so I can get the best of the actor's performance. |
