In order to get much out of this, you need to understand what it is, and what it isn't. This is an old, at least twenty + year old pseudo-docu-drama framed as an assignment by a female reporter. Along the way she meets another martial artist practitioner and they visit various areas where people are demonstrating their impressive skills.
Much of the footage is shot at the Shaolin Temple. Demonstrations of all kinds are displayed, however this is mostly about a very young Jet Li. We know the man is amazing, but most folks never realized how young he was when he began to stack up championships in nearly every technique and form! In one segment two hundred plus year old masters show Jet how it's done. There are only staged fights but most are interesting. If you are really into martial arts and don't need a story to back it up, this would be a good movie to view. |
