Review of Shaolin Temple (1982) by Alan F — 26 Oct 2011
While the remake may be visualy and technicaly superior, andy lau is no jet li and the original excells above a decent remake on the basis of the many martial arts scenes, including jet li doing some amazing hand tied behind his back cartwheel flips.
the sheer love of kung fu scenes shows in this film while it does look dated, it looks like something from the 70s more than something from the early 80s. amazing and worth watching for jet li's martial arts skills and the many weapon forms, the monks are far more badass here than in shaolin 2011, wich is a loose remake of this movie.
Thier are 2 sequels that I know of. If your a jet li fan a must to watch.
