These kids have skills!
|
Songs, silliness, and lots and lots of stunning wushu skills form the heart of this memorable film. "Kids from Shaolin" tells of two families living on either side of a river. On one side are the Paos; Papa Pao has been trying to have a son forever, but Mama Pao keeps popping out daughters. They all are experts in Wutang sword skills. On the other side of the river are a cobbled together family of ten boys and the man who saved them from a group of killer bandits. They've got Shaolin wushu down cold. During the raid by the bandits, the bandit leader was blinded in one eye. He wants revenge ... and his bandits want to have their way with all those pretty Pao girls. In order to accomplish this, one of the bandits infiltrates the village as a Buddhist monk and seeks to sow seeds of enmity between the two families. After a big falling out between the families, the boys and their father all move away, so the bandits sweep in to take advantage of the Pao family. But did the boys really leave? Just when it looks like all is lost for the Paos, the boys return and we end up with one of the longest, most spectacular fight scenes in martial arts movie history. While the film's initial silliness runs on a bit long, stick with the movie. Once it kicks into high gear, you won't want to blink. I recommend this fun and action-filled flick for a general audience. |

Light hearted & enjoyable
| This film is much more light hearted & family friendly. Showcasing many of the same actors from Shaolin Temple, the main villian is now an over-protective father (for good reasons). If you love Chinese straight sword this film beautifys the weapon even more by placing it in the hands of a lovely doubles form that unfortunately is rudely interrupted because the story has to continue. (wish I could fight in such beautifully flowing costumes!) Some of these kids are really great to watch. |

Top Class Action, Top Class DVD
|
I have to say that this is one of Jet Li's best films. It had everything you can want in a feature. Action, romance, and comedy. You even get to see Jet Li dress in drag and sing a few songs. An all time classic. I know many people who buy DVDs from HK are generally worried about the picture quality and whether it is comparable to the picture quality of DVDs in the West. I would have to give the picture quality 10/10. Final comments - "A must by". |

VERY ENJOYABLE MOVIE
| Much better than "Shaolin Temple". It's very funny - especially the first part. Awesome displays of individual kung-fu skills. Jet Li's love interest - Heng Chiu Yen is VERY cute! The only complaint I have is - some fighting scenes are just too long (but not as long as Shaolin Temple, which approaches ridiculous and boring after awhile). |
