There's enough style in this one film to furnish three Western productions, and that hack of a director, Tarantino, clearly thought highly enough of it to lift the most striking imagery for his cut-and-paste "Kill Bill Vol 1".
 

I found the at times quite juvenile humour (what's new with HK films?) really funny, especially the pogoing monks quite literally giving their superiors sass on a stick.

The fights come thick and fast, with plenty of wire assisted work throughout, and reminded me a little of some of the action in "Zu: Warriors of the Magic Mountain". This film contains hardly any fantasy elements, but if you're a fan of the crazy "Holy Flame of the Martial World" or "Zu", I can't recommend the slightly more down to Earth "Shaolin Prince" enough.
