YesAsia Editorial Description

A vivid dramatization of the famed Ching Government assault on the hallowed Shaolin Temple, director Chang Cheh's Shaolin Temple is a visionary kung-fu epic from the Shaw Brothers studios that easily ranks as a classic of the genre! Alexander Fu Sheng stars as legendary hero Fong Sai Yuk, who desires entry into the Shaolin Temple to learn their legendary martial arts techniques. Thanks to the perseverance of he and his two friends, the trio is permitted to enter the temple, but are reduced to menial tasks instead of learning the secretive ways of Shaolin. Little do they know that the odd jobs are actually preparation for their future training in Shaolin! Other students are soon allowed into the temple, including some anti-Ching rebels. But when the Ching government catches wind of the increased number of outsiders allowed access to the ways of Shaolin, they become suspicious, ultimately leading to an all-out assault on the walls of the Shaolin Temple!

An all-star kung-fu cast of Shaw Brothers regulars unites for Shaolin Temple, including Alexander Fu Sheng, Di Lung, David Keung Dai Wai, Ngok Wah, Chik Kuan Kwan, and Kuo Chui. Famed director Chang Cheh creates entertaining training sequences and bold action sequences, and his actors turn in powerhouse performances in Shaolin Temple, a Shaw Brothers classic that helped define kung-fu films for years to come!

An old fave and still great Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
One of the old fave. I believe the movie gave us all (fans of martial arts and the general public) a summarised idea of how shaolin martial arts really tops them all. The art is full of history. If the Abbott had not gone with the idea of accepting outsiders for students, then there would be no shaolin martial arts today.

It's also the only time that 'Ng Mui Si Fu' actually appeared in any shaolin movie and we realise how her fist techniques eventually came to be known as 'Wing Chun' . Another disciple, Mui Choi Fa (Fong Sai Yuk's mother) was also mentioned (see Disciples of 36th Chamber with Gordon Liu, Siao Hu, Lee Li Li)

It has long been rumoured that there was a turn=coat in the shaolin temple and it's true the temple was destroyed by fire during the Ching period. As with 36th Chamber, the training techniques saves the day and the fighting choreography was great (Sifu Liu Chia Liang's trademark) . With 3 top stars like Ti Lung, David Chiang and Alexander Fu Sheng heading the list, no one actually outdone the other as the emphasis was on loyalty, friendship, sacrifice, truth and compassion besides the art and its learning process. The supportive cast were also great . As a fan of martial arts and shaolin temple history, I encourage those with the same interests to give this movie a go.

Only disappointment is they did not interview Ti Lung and David Chiang for a bit of walk down memory lane.

Good but with some flaws Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
You can clearly see that this movie was a bit rushed! The plot is weak. It's the martial arts and the training that save the movie. But with so much talent on board, you can't help but to wonder on how better this flix could have been!

Well told familiar story Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
It's a familiar story: Young men seek to gain admission to Shaolin Temple to learn the skills they need to avenge the wrongs they've suffered. When they eventually are admitted, they don't see the wisdom behind the tasks they are assigned, until they gradually perceive that they indeed are acquiring the skills they sought. This film has a huge cast of famous stars who are adept at carrying off these kung fu roles. An interesting plot twist is the presence of a turncoat among the Shaolin monks who works to engineer the downfall of the temple. Endless scenes of very impressive martial arts skills highlight this kung fu classic. The bittersweet ending left me wondering whether the filmmakers intended to make a sequel. Recommended for all martial arts fans.

Good combination of kungfu stars Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
The movie worth watching and collecting compared to today's kungfu flicks which are full of computer-animated effects destructing the origins of kunfu arts. Only Shaw Brothers studio and early Jackie Chan's fulfill that.

a classic Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This, plus the 36 chambers, should be the first acquisitions in the Shaw Brothers digital re-releases. It has everyone in it, and a great combination of humour, training, friendship, and fighting. Even those who don't remember the good old days in the theatre will love this movie.
