When the ruling dynasty in China sends soldiers to destroy the Shaolin Temple, students use their martial arts to defend the school.
Leave your thoughts about Shaolin Martial Arts.
| User ReviewAllan CDirected by Cheh Chang and staring Gordon Liu, it's hard to to wrong. When the ruling dynasty in China sends soldiers to destroy the Shaolin Temple, students use their martial arts to defend the school. That's about as formula of a kung-fu action flick as you can get, but Chang and Liu deliver the goods. |
| User ReviewMichael HWhile Shaolin Martial Arts remains steadfast in the general formula, its execution is what truly raises the film above the basic storytelling that it does. The casting is stacked here and you know that itâ??s ridiculously stacked when Gordon Liu plays one of the backing secondary roles. Just the villains are played by fan favorites Johnny Wang and Beardy (as gimmicky invincible style roles) and we are giving some decent sized actors for the heroes too â?? including a Shaw favorite Fu Sheng. While the film does tend to oversell some of its red herrings in the second act and detract away from adding even more emotional beats and depth to the main characters, Shaolin Martial Arts moves at a wicked pace that flows with ease. The film is littered with plenty of fights to keep it going, even if most of them feel a bit generic compared to the sheer power and snappy choreography of the finale. In this way, fans are still going to love what the film has to offer â?? and as a surprise Chang Cheh throws some a bit of horrific gore in at the end for us. Just to keep us on our toes. |
| User ReviewSteve WShaolin Martial Arts is basic, but it gets the job done. Clashing factions between the Manchus and the Shaolin cause a death at a temple, and the aggressive Manchus seek to wipe out the Shaolin. Hiring two iron bodied experts, they push back the Shaolin students until they must regroup, train with masters, and attack again. The plot goes back and forth like this, and halfway through they discover Eagle Claw and a special kick do not hurt the badguys. The Shaolin are the real underdog this time around, with some of the good guys dying quite a bit. This ramps up the tension, and there are some basic love interests to keep things from going too grim. A spectacular final battle of crazy arm styles and violence tops up this serviceable martial arts flick from Chang Cheh. |
| User ReviewLiz GAnother good kung-fu click from Cheh Chang. While it is not as good as some of his later movies, like Chinese Super Ninjas, this film has its moments.When it comes down to it the concept for the movie is nothing new. Good guys take a beating from the bad guys before getting special training to get revenge.The beginning of this film is actually the weakest point. The story feels like it is going nowhere slowly and the good guys seem a little villainous. The fights for the first quarter of the film are also completely one-sided, which makes them rather quick. Once you reach the middle of the film you get the training segments. While these segments are nothing new in these films, they aren't as entertaining as seen elsewhere. In case you are wondering, there are some parts in here that you will see redone in Kill Bill.There isn't as many fights as Chinese Super Ninjas, but this film has its share. The choreography is good, but not great and they are not as long as fights in other movies either. The last fight is probably the best and Gordon Liu also has a nice fight. It's just too bad that he is only a side character. One of the downsides to the fights in this movie is the sound effects. They are cheesy, but they aren't cheesy enough. That may not sound right, but we all know that those sound effects really make these movies entertaining.What this movie does do well is use different styles of martial arts, which makes this bland title actually fit. If you like the eagle's claw or the tiger style you may want to see this.Other than the good acting by Sheng Fu or the unique training segments, this movie doesn't stand out from the others all that much. It should be a good watch for classic kung-fu fans though. |
