Great classic between Shaolin and Wu Tang.
Great movie. Gordon Liu does it again. It's a great story of friends from different schools who are eventually framed and have to fight against each other to see whose school is superior. Lots of action and great choreography.
This was the movie that got me into Hong Kong cinema. It's up there with "Lord of the Wu Tang" and "Five Deadly Venoms". True martial artists at the top of their game!
Perfect! This movie is at the top of my list. A must-see for any fan or fanatic. A must-have for your collection. Gordon Liu is great. Wu Tang Clan samples galore. This is a true classic.

Great movie--it doesn't get any better than Shaolin and Wu Tang. Gordon Liu is the greatest of his generation behind Bruce Lee. His display of the Shaolin arts is amazing. He makes you feel that training is seriously a way of life. His aggression throughout the movie and the final scene tells you how much Shaolin means to him. I love this movie to death.
"Shaolin And Wu-Tang" is an entertaining film which features excellent fight choreography and training sequences, but suffers from a somewhat weak plot and characters. Gordon Liu plays basically the same character from "The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin," who lives through tragedy and wants to become a monk, but the twist is that instead of the film focusing on his struggle, it focuses on a rivalry between the Shaolin and Wu-Tang schools.
The real treat in this movie is for fans of the Wu-Tang Clan: many of the most famous soundclips used throughout their first album originate from the English dub-tracks.
This is a worthwhile film. Martial-arts enthusiasts and curious fans of the Wu-Tang Clan will likely enjoy it.
Great movie.
| OK, I am giving this one a higher rating than most people. Still, I really loved this movie!
I read that Gordon Liu considered this his preferred sequel to "Shaolin Master Killer". You know what, I agree with him. "Return of Master Killer" is fun, with excellent fight scenes, but this movie just seems more in the spirit of "Master Killer". Why? First, the Ching villain is more clever, more formidable, and thus more worthy of a comeuppance. Second, the fight choreography is truly excellent, really good. What made it especially fun is to see is the rivalry between the sword of wu-tang vs boxing of Shaolin. Gordon Liu did the right thing to spice things up with the school rivalry. I knew the contrast between wu-tang and Shaolin would be great just from the opening sequence. The difference between the training practices of wu-tang vs Shaolin was also fun to see. Finally, the resolution was better than most fu flix. It was not the typical case of I killed everyone else, so now I rule the martial world, etc. Just get it, you'll have a blast. |
This movie was a very good movie to watch. It had element of a Shaw Brothers movie; it contains elements such as "Master Killer" and "Invincible Pole Fighter" but very different settings... I really enjoyed watching this film.
