Bandits arrive at Shaolin disguised as monks with the intention of stealing a golden statue of Buddha. With the abbott deposed and all opposing monks removed it seems that there is no-one to stand in their way; if only they knew where the statue was hidden. And just who is that simple mute guy (Casanova Wong) who seems to be suspiciously agile and always hanging about the place ?

This is not a classic by any means but certainly passable as entertainment serving up quality fight action that showcases Casanova Wong's kicking. At times the choreography seems a bit repetitive (leading round house followed by spinning kick, sometimes a jump - over and over again) but the fights are fast paced enough without resorting to undercranking. Production values are unsuprisingly low, and on occasion rather sloppy; the mystique of ancient China is somewhat ruined when you can see an electricity pylon in the background (see pic). Despite all this the last half hour is filled with enough action to keep most kung fu fans happy.
