Film lovers and critics went out of their way to praise this Liu Chia-liang version of the Shaolin destruction and revenge epic. Many called it the preeminent kung-fu director’s best and certainly his greatest on the theme of history, martial arts, and family. Little wonder, since, beyond the Shaolin story, it also shows how Liu’s own family style of kung-fu, Hung Fist, was created. There are unforgettable sequences throughout, highlighted by Hung Hsi-kuan (the mighty Chen Kuan-tai) and Fang Yung-chun’s (the wonderful Lily Li) wedding night … where the lovers inexorably test their Tiger and Crane kung-fu styles in a symbolic treatment of a couple’s power struggles. Almost equally unforgettable are the training sequences and a full three titanic confrontations with the White-Browed Hermit (the impressive Lo Lieh), betrayer of the Temple. The critics were right: Liu has out-done himself…as usual!

These movies don't have the best acting. That's not what it's about. In fact the poor acting will make think of a poorly founded Blackploitation film. These movies are about growing up in Chicago on the west side at 10 years old watching these movies every Saturday and Sunday after cartoons went off and play fighting with my 4 little brothers. I have been buying at least 2 or 3 of these movies everytime me I get my little paycheck so I can share these movies with my nephews and watch play fight.

Great kung Fu action & good story telling.

And mitches beotch
