36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN
Release date: 1978
Alternate titles: Master Killer
Director: Liu Chia-liang
Starring: Liu Chia-hui
Plot: A movie with lots and lots of training, but in a good way. A
young man named Liu Yu-te (Chia-hui) escapes to Shaolin temple
after his family is massacred by Manchu soldiers. For the next
hour of the film (it is nearly two hours long), Yu-te trains
as a Shaolin monk. After he has done this for years, he goes
out to recruit more soon-to-be famous monks and kill the
people who murdered his family.
Review: An amazing movie. The training scenes are incredibly inventive
and fun, and the fights are superb. This is probably the most
well-known and successful martiala rts film outside of Asia,
and excluding the obligitory Bruce Lee films. Rightfully so,
as the film is great.
