YesAsia Editorial Description

Director Chang Cheh delivers more bloody martial arts action in Five Shaolin Masters, a follow-up to his earlier hit, Shaolin Temple! In the wake of the Manchu destruction of the Shaolin Temple, five senior Shaolin students are intent on escaping the pursuing Manchu forces, and hope to rally support and eventually reunite to form a larger anti-Qing resistance. Played by a variety of Shaws kung-fu players, including Di Lung, Alexander Fu Sheng, and David Keung, the five warriors split up to individually find groups to ally themselves with. But the Manchu forces are in hot pursuit, and boast a roster of seven deadly kung-fu artists, each versed in a specific deadly skill, and played by such actors as Leung Ka Yan, Johnny Wang Lung Wei, Fung Hak On, and Choi Wang. With such a deadly contingent of foes, the five Shaolin students must train themselves to master their chosen martial arts - and eventually become the unbeatable Five Shaolin Masters! Chang Cheh brings his common themes of brotherhood and heroism to Five Shaolin Masters, an exciting and supremely satisfying martial arts epic that ranks among the master director's best works!

  清廷入主中原後反清聲音此起彼落,其中以少林弟子最熱,清廷處心積慮消滅少林子弟,火燒少林寺。寺中僧人及俗家子弟,倉猝應戰,十死其九,其中洪熙官逃向廣東,與方世玉會合,繼續反清復明;另有三名弟子,則北走中原,蔡德忠(狄龍),胡德帝(姜大衛),馬超興(傅聲)等等千方百計查探寺中內奸,與官兵展開生死之戰,後世稱為少林五祖。

榮獲
第十二屆金馬獎:最佳錄音(王永華)

  Fans thought that Chang Cheh couldn't out-do his previous star-making box office hits, but once this landmark saga hit the screen, they had to raise their expectations once again. The story was simplicity itself: Shaolin renegades fight against their Manchu oppressors and traitorous collaborators. But the finest martial art actors, led by revered choreographers Liu Chia-liang and his brother Liu Chia-yung, created emotionally involving action sequences of unparalleled effect.

Explosive sequel Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
"Five Shaolin Masters" has a paper-thin plot that serves primarily as a device for the staging of some spectacular fight scenes. Ti Lung, David Chiang, and Alexander Fu all deliver solid performances. I strongly suggest that, before watching this film, you watch its predecessor ("Shaolin Temple") which will help to flesh out some of the characters for you. This may be the first movie I've ever seen that doesn't have any women characters; the only women I saw in it were extras in a street scene. Recommended for all lovers of Chang Cheh's action extravaganzas.

all star cast Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Five shaolin master is a good movie. I still prefer the Lau Kar Leung movie ( 36th chambers, 8 diagram...) than this effort by Chang Cheh. But the all star cast and good story makes a good film and a true Kung fu classic.
