HKFlix Says: 4 Stars

This is a very fun film with several nice action sequences, in particular the solo footage of a VERY young Jet Li doing weapons training.

Overview: A young boy (Jet Li) escaping from a slave camp is taken in by the monks of the Shaolin Temple. There, he learns martial arts in order to take revenge on the traitorous general who killed his father. His quest for vengeance implicates the monks, who come to his defense. In the process of fighting the general's troops, they save the true emperor, who rewards them greatly.

This was Jet's first big film, and the first of three Shao Lin pictures. All three feature incredible no-flying-people (i.e. the Kung Fu is real and performed without the use of wires). This film is from mainland China.

Cast: Jet Li Lian-Jie || Wong Chau-Yin || Yu Hai || Ding Lan || Yu Hsing Wei
