Review of Shaolin Temple (1982) by Daniel V — 21 May 2014
Someone saw something in this 19-Year-Old wushu champion named Li Lianjie. He had been destroying the competition since he was 12-years-old and he was a charismatic young charmer with an infectious smile and devilish wit.
People saw the next Bruce Lee, to be fair No One can be the next Bruce Lee because Bruce Lee was about as one of a kind as you get. but Jet is about the closest thing we got to the total Bruce package.
He is brilliant martial artist, a great actor and blindingly fast. He can convey furious anger as well as wink at you with a big laugh. THE SHAOLIN TEMPLE started a new genre within the Martial Arts genre, the fight Shaolin Monks.
This is still the best of the bunch and features some of the most captivating staff fighting you will ever see on film. Jet flashes those kicks and smiles so furiously, you will have to come up for air quite frequently.
