    4 out of 5 stars Not perfect by any means, but an enjoyable kung fu movie.......2006-09-13

    Now the story is decent. I laughed a few times but the drama didn't exactly stick with me. Jet Li starts out the movie as a young kid who has just had his father murdered by an evil Manchu general or something and Jet has been injured fighting with him trying to save his dad. So the monks find him and care for him in the temple and against some of the monks better judgement they make Jet a monk. When these evil guys end up storming the temple, all of the training scenes are very worthwhile. It was not the most coherent of stories but it didn't need to be. Watching Jet doing his solo training was amazing. Drunken style gets pulled out and there are some really cool moves in this fights. They did make a few of the shots look supernatural but it is still pretty good for all of these peoples first movie ever. Jet has talked about before how there was no martial arts choreographer for this movie and how everyone had to provide input and come up with the fights themselves. Jet's sifu in this movie can also be seen as his master in shaolin tepmle 2 and Twin Warriors(aka Tai Chi Master). So don't buy this movie for a gripping story abotu teh Shaolin Temple btu buy it for the sweet martial arts being displayed in Jet Li's first ever movie.

    1 out of 5 stars Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting.......2006-08-29

    You've seen me complain about Westerners who portray the Chinese solely as stick figures and stereotypes. But guess what? Some Chinese are equally guilty of this crime. Including those behind this modern film.

    Three outsiders kneel outside the temple for five days. One "must become Shaolin to have his revenge," which we know is wrong, and he will pay a heavy price. The temple has never let in outsiders, but finally the Grand Master ends his lengthy meditation and decides they must, lest they perish. So we get three new Shaolin kids with awesome sideburns. I think Chinese films mirror American films in this respect. Sideburns are naughty. Just ask Elvis. Thank you very much.

    Meanwhile some soldiers come to the temple. They need help repelling those nasty Qing conquerors, which sounds like something I read somewhere. They're allowed in immediately, whereas those other guys who'd been kneeling for three days are not.

    It's a test of their dedication. Well, 20 minutes of stereotypes, over-the-top unfunny physical humor, and babbling lunacy tested my dedication, and I failed. I didn't watch the whole DVD.

    In minute 20, two guys demonstrated the five styles, same as the very first episode of KUNG FU, the TV series, that's about 25 years older, and which is itself far from original in this respect. Fine wushu, but this isn't new. Next, a bit of sparring. Admonishments not to be lazy. Old guy breaking firewood with his bare hands to overblown brass music. Oooooh.

    I can predict the rest. We'll have a big fight, some guys will mature, some guys will die, and good will triumph. Or not. Nobody cares. I'm stopping now. We found this in the flat when we moved in, it's 120 minutes, I watched 23, life's short. Zaijian.

    P.S. I just learned there is a sequel. Huh?

    4 out of 5 stars Old Skool Kung Fu!!.......2006-07-13

    I'm not a Jet Li fan,,except in Leathal Weapon 4. However, I really enjoyed his performance in this flick,,,,,I though his performance was brilliant,,,he was simply outstanding. To keep it simple,,check this one out,,,you will not be dissapointed!!

    1 out of 5 stars EAT DOGS.......2006-02-09

    I do not like the part where people eat dogs. So it getes one star. How can you eat a dog? Are you ..... ???

    5 out of 5 stars GOOD.......2005-07-20

    Downloaded this movie, its fire. The scenes are mad nice. The fighting is crazy if you like kung fu movies this is one you HAVE to have now. Its really good and will keep you watching for sure.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the best!.......2006-09-16

    When I was a kid, I used to watch this one over and over again. Definitely a great story with interesting plot and very talented stars. A must-see!

    4 out of 5 stars I am reviewing the remastered, uncut, letterboxed, english dubbed, red sun version of this 6 venomed classic.......2006-04-26

    If you have not heard of red sun and don't have an all region player, than this is THE perfect version.

    Now first off it wouldn'tplay in my toshiba dvd player, but worked just fine in my crappy audiovox 5-discer. When the movie starts, you will be in absolute heaven seeing a crisp, clear picture of johnny wang(lung fei) who is playing the evil governor or something that wants to set north and south shaolin against eachother. He comes up with this great scheme to kill the 3 south masters after they have fought. Nobody knows how they died, but REVENGE WILL TAKE PLACE. Now I am a huge fan of all old school kung fu flicks, but I have to say that cheng cheh has made better stuff than this. Not much better but this tries to be mre stright up hard core fighting. No comic book deadly venoms style, or people being crippled and get revenge. The story is just non existent. You find out right away pretty much everthing that is going to happen. And I have to say thaty I love lo meng, but you do have to wonder after like showing about 5 minutes of jst close ups of guys chests, is this a gay movie? But then the training and action scenes happen and you forget all about this. The only thing i can explain this as is that it is cheh's vision. He wants to see the most buff, acrobatic dudes he can find to put on the screen. Cheng Cheh has a great appreciation for manly men. And us men are well represented here. The final fight is kind of like the whole movie, unbelievable. But there are enough deaths to keep any cheh fan happy. And the fighting is justy superb. The training is about as grueling as you are gonna get and it is welll worth it for the final fight, done in the same style that five venoms and return of the venoms was. So you can see that Cheng had it in mind for these 6 guys to be the greatest action stars of all time. It is just a shame that Run Run Shaw wouldn't pay these people because he could have made much better movies than these.

    The letterboxed red sun version is perfect and sadly only has english dub but has original soundtrack which surprisingly differentiates from the average music they usually just pull off of the shelf. And to go along with the great picture the sound is a pretty good 2-channel output.

    5 out of 5 stars Nice plot that keeps you enticed.......2004-09-12

    This movie is one of my favorites.. I have quite a collection and enjoy revisiting Invincible. Won't get into specifics but the fighting matches are awesome.. love the fact that the movie displays a tense and avengeful atmosphere. More importantly, I personally favored the way different styles can be combatted by another this was indeed a Cheh Chang classic. Did I mention the entire 6 venom mob crew are in it !

    5 out of 5 stars Another Hit.......2002-06-29

    If you like Chang Cheh films, then this is another "must buy". Another political corruption storyline with Wang Lung Wei provoking a destructive confrontation between Northern and Southern Shaolin to do his work for him. The best fights are in the climax when Philip Kwok (formerly known as Kuo Chiu) and his pals match skills against the other Shaolin team. The DVD picture and sound quality aren't bad. More valuable now since the passing of the legendary Chang Cheh.

    5 out of 5 stars This Is The Real Stuff.......2002-02-19

    A masterpiece of the Venoms era-- matched (not surpassed!) only possibly by Masked Avengers for sheer exuberant heroism and villainy! This is the film that set the tone for so many others-- Evil-general-deceives-rival-kungfu-schools-into-wiping-one-another-out-type-stuff, and is replete with the lengthy, laughable training sequences that made the Venoms famous. You'll never eat scrambled eggs again! So what if it's about as believable as pro wrestling? You get to see bodybuilder/gymnasts somersaulting though Chinese gardens disembowelling one another with amazing weapons, all the while proclaiming their eternal camaraderie!!

    Unlike later efforts, this one even features a moving camera, so unlike films such as Masked Avengers, actors aren't forced to stand in tableau looking sideways... they can actually walk around the set-- a bonus! And it's a beautiful, colourful, letterboxed print that appears to have been made from film, and not video. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

    The whirling kicks and swift punches of Shaolin kung fu have been used to dazzling, choreographic effect in hundreds of Hong Kong action movies. The fascinating documentary Shaolin Ulysses: Kung Fu Monks in America looks at some real-world practitioners, monks who have chosen to bring kung fu and Zen Buddhism to America. The resulting juxtapositions are surreal. As a monk and his American disciple are interviewed in a Las Vegas Hooter's, the disciple throws an arm around one of the busty waitresses and declares this to be his temple; the monk looks on quizzically. Another monk has married a Catholic woman from Brooklyn; another talks about trading martial arts classes for guitar lessons on a Lollapalooza tour; another teaches kung fu to stocky police officers in Houston, Texas. These culture clashes are constantly surprising, but the monks' devotion to their craft is even more deeply engaging. --Bret Fetzer

    4 out of 5 stars Five Monks quest to spread Zen Buddhism.......2006-08-02

    The five monks seemed excited to establish Zen Buddhism temples in America and teach the Shaolin art. Each Monk demonstrates his special discipline and skills. The monks seemed excited for cultural exchange. Many of them toured various cities of America. One master maintains a connection with the Shaolin Temple in China and each year sends students to China.

    The Shaolin movements are very evasive, attacking from various angles and retreating backwards. The Shaolin movements including jumping kicks, split kicks (round and reversed), high crescent kicks landing and the ability to sideways on the ground, low horse stances, large and small circular closed fist and open hand strikes, movements left and right, and low twisting stances into punches advancing forward and backward. The movements are complex and often predict which way they will move. To one fight a Shaolin he will seem to be moving one ways then suddenly change and move another way, a strike and move pattern. By adding weapons to the techniques the Shaolin seems to fly around the floor with amazing acrobatic flips, spins, and twists.

    Included in the film is a Tai Chi sword demonstration. This was wonder to see. I like the iron shirt demonstration which made the master seemingly imprevious to an hard strikes from a large wood oar and a crushing blow as four men used a railroad tie to ram into the body of the master. The two man tiger forms demonstrated Chinese chess piece training. Who could believe the impossible feat of break a steel bar over a masters head. The monkey form demonstration very interesting consider this form is rarely made public. The amazon leopard form allowed the artist too move smoothly from leaps into hand techniques and stances. One of the more agile forms. The kung fu weapons demonstrations reminded me of a marching band but with more power and energy. The group performed the weapon techniques in unison.

    The masters seemed to radiate power in their hands and fist. The kicks end with a sharp snap. The strikes literally vibrate with power.

    The documentary is a nice balance between interviews and demonstrations. Very enticing. In China the government uses Martial arts as a reason for community gatherings, religious worship, and culture celebration. Many of the masters studied exclusively the art. One master was able to heal his son after suffering a serious injury. One master expressed the desire for his son to study western education and the Martial arts. All of the Masters were impressive with the big style of Western culture. However, each Master sought to integrate the quietness and peacefulness of the Shaolin arts. I'm impressed with the intelligence of the system and the artist.

    5 out of 5 stars The real Shaolin KungFu.......2006-03-04

    This is one of the most amazing documentaries that I have ever seen, and I am a documentary addict. I first saw this documentary on the PBS "Independent Lens" series, which is one of the finest shows on TV by the way. The physical and mental training involved in becoming a Shaolin monk is truly astounding. These are real Shaolin monks, not the cartoonish characters you see in those cheesy kungfu movies. These guys are beyond Bruce Lee even. You won't regret buying this DVD.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Info... .......2006-01-09

    I maybe a bit biased due to the fact that Li Peng Zhang is my Sifu, but this is a great documentary. The information provided is accurate and presented in a manner that is captivating. If you are studying or want to study authentic Shaolin Kung Fu, this is one of the top three documentaries to watch.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Documentary - highly entertaining.......2004-12-26

    This excellently crafted documentary shows the ways in which five Shaolin monks have bridged the divide between East and West -- influencing Americans with their martial arts in ways that are surprising, and often heart warming. From Brooklyn, to Texas, to California, these diverse monks bring their individual immigrant stories in the pursuit of the American Dream. Excellent production quality, editing and story telling by the film makers.

    4 out of 5 stars Jet Li's first movies.......2007-04-29

    Shaolin Temple (1982) is Jet Li's first movie and the first of a series of movies that resulted in the popularity of the Shaolin Temple in the west, and ultimately to the rebuilding of the real Shaolin Temple near Dengfeng (China). The story is not very deep, but the fight scenes are fun, especially as no ropes were involved. A classic.

    Shaolin Temple 2: Kids from Shaolin (1983) is the second movie in the series. The story is artificially construed around the rivalry of a Wudang swordsmaster's family of girls and a Shaolin monk's family of boys. Nice fight scenes, but the "comical" scenes always give me the willies.

    Born to defense (1986) is Jet Li's third movie, and the first and only movie that Jet Li directed himself. Even though the critics about this movie are generally very bad, I liked the movie very much: realistic fight scenes with no wires, none of the awful slapstick scenes, and the view of a historical situation from the other side, i.e. from the Chinese point of view. Yes, the villain and the good guy are pretty stereotypical, but still there are a number of surprising twists in the story. Also, I liked that even though Jet has great fighting skills and often wins the fight itself, none of the fights actually ends good for him.

    All in all: two classics and one not-so classic that might still be worth seeing.

    4 out of 5 stars Great package deal!.......2004-06-06

    The best movies included are Shaolin Temple and Kids from Shaolin. Born to Defense is not really worth watching unless you're bored.

      4 out of 5 stars Riding off of the success of Shaolin Temple, the group gets together again to make a comedy this time.......2006-09-13

      I actually liked this more than the first. There is a lot of singing and it is kind of a kiddie movie, but when the fighting begins, your kids will never watch another genre again. There is not really a good guy and a bad guy in this flick until the end.

      The story is about a Shaolin master and his boys becoming friendly with the girls across the way. It just so happens that the girls father is a Wudang master. So of course they can't be together. Shaolin hates Wudang! Well, in the movies at least. So some plot gets injected with bandits they will have to fight. The final fight is spectacular. If you are looking for a movie that will at least make you giggle and has unbelievable action sequences, Kids from Shaolin is one you need to check out.

      4 out of 5 stars Not bad, pretty good.......2003-04-19

      I'd say its the second best from the series, a must see also. You will enjoy seeing the great Kung Fu hear. Not only will you see Shaolin Style here but also another one.

      5 out of 5 stars Shaolin vs Wu Tang.......2002-06-10

      This is one of Jet Li's best of his earlier films. It tells the story of rivalry between two familes on either side of a river. One practices Wu Tang style, has only girls and is wealthy. The other is Shaolin, has only boys and is poor. The differences keep them apart and this suits well some riff raffs who want to steal the daughters and money from the wealthier family. The combination of humor, romance and fighting scenes make getting this movie worthwhile.

      3 out of 5 stars Interesting scenes.......2000-05-20

      Lots of cute scenes, including when all the boy actors have to bend over for a caning.

      5 out of 5 stars This is the best movie!.......2000-04-11

      This is my favorite movie. You should go see it. Especially if you are a Jet Li fan.

        2 out of 5 stars worst of Gordon Liu.......2006-03-02

        This has to be the worst Gordon Liu movie I have ever seen. I know that there are others that are on par with the badness of this movie. But on the other hand, this is one of the better Godfrey Ho films. So if you like his stuff, you might be dissapointed at how he almost manages to put together a story in this movie. I thought that some of the fights were very watchable, but the guy who plays the Pei-Mei like character was the most imcompetent martial artist that I have ever seen.

        The only reason that this DVD got a 2/5 was because of the extras. The # of clips on this DVD has to total around an hour and a half or 2. Some of the best fights ever captured on screen are on this disc.

        1 out of 5 stars This is TERRIBLE.......2004-05-29

        I am a Gordon Lui fan.
        I am a Kung Fu fan.
        Please avoid this movie.
        Not even the 18 Bronzemen could save it.

        For good Gordon Lui Kung Fu movies get:
        Shaolin Master Killer
        WuTang & Shaolin
        Fist of the White Lotus

        5 out of 5 stars Gordon Liu vs. the 18 Bronzemen!!!!.......2002-04-11

        Gordon Liu is not the main star of this film,but he's in it long enough to get the glory!Great action,including his phenomenal fight against the 18 Bronzemen.Great extras-including an interview with Gordon Liu himself!!I also recommend the Wu tang Clan's other titles like Shaolin Drunkard and Revenge of the Patriots.

        1 out of 5 stars Fury in the Shaolin Temple.......2002-01-31

        If you like Gordon Liu, then don't waste your money on this DVD. Gordon Liu is in the movie, but this movie does not show off his talent at all. The plot and the story are not good and the action is boring. The DVD format is sharp (considering this is an old movie) but the color format is not that great.

        5 out of 5 stars A new era in kung fu!!!!!.......2001-08-09

        The Wu has shown us the way again with the Hidden Chambers series!!!! The extras are the BEST ever on a DVD release.Dozens of clips,an interview with the Master Killer himself(!!!), and Wu wizdom from Papa Wu himself. There's even a Temple of Knowledge chamber where real monks pour our their philosophy.Ground Zero and the Wu Tang Clan have it locked down. The flick is alright,but not as good as his other works.He does fight the bronze men though.The extras are longer than the movie I think.I got my moneys worth big time.I have all the series now.
