The Shaolin temple is in disarray and the Abbot goes into solitary to repent for the sins of the monks (for losing the book). Jackie is also subjected to spending more nights guarding the books. One night a meteor hits and all the books are dislodged freeing five rather odd looking ghosts. As it turns out they are the masters of the "Five Fists" kung fu and see Jackie as the chosen one so they take him as their pupil.

Meanwhile a mysterious man is going around defeating all the kung fu masters using the style of the stolen book and the only man that stands a chance of defeating him is Jackie who, combined with the skills of the ghosts, must rescue the Shaolin Temple.

One of the films from Chan's 'Low Wei' era, "Spiritual Kung Fu" really shows its age mostly due to incredibly dodgy special effects and rather freaky 70's sounds. Still, the film contains some awesome fight choreography from Chan with some decent gags and early shades of the "Drunken Master" movies. Whether or not you can find a decent print in widescreen with subtitles is another matter as most copies seem to be very poor quality coupled with crap dubbing.
