Review of Five Shaolin Masters (1974) by Jeremy P — 01 Sep 2011
Directed by Chang Cheh, choreographed by Liu Chia-Liang, and starring the trio of David Chiang, Ti Lung, and Alexander Fu Sheng -- I've been watching a lot of movies from these folks, and for good reason.
They're the best at what they do. Which is why this movie would be good no matter what. The film builds to a big finale of five heroes against five villains, and I really liked those villains too, but I was definitely feeling like there was nothing new here.
It's about the few survivors from the burning of the Shaolin temple... yet again. A good movie but nothing original. Well, swinging an axe blade around on a rope is a good idea.
