WHAT a weird movie. lots of action though, and the villain has the
cool power of making weapons explode at the end, which looks great. it's an effect that is simple, and yet really effective.

an erratic monk leaves Shaolin and trains five fighters to fight evil.
so they do. they get beat at first, then lure the villains back to
their makeshift temple to gain the advantage.

i'm not sure who was left alive at the end of the movie.

very weird movie, but plenty of over the top action to make it worth a look.

Is this the one where a guy loses his arm and than goes flying from a tree or something like that? My friend's dad always talked about this movie and this scene in particular.
