now known as THE 36TH CHAMBER

Hang-Sheng Wu
on many people's top ten kung fu films of all time, it's quite good,
but not one of my 10 faves. lots of training scenes, and having taken
martial arts, i know the look of instructors that are almost killing
you to make you survive!
San Te is a man who's family is killed by Manchurians. he goes to
Shaolin to learn kung fu to take revenge, but also wants to train his
people in it so they can fight back. in order to do this he has to go
through 34 Chambers of Shaolin (the top one he hasn't read the Sutras
enough).
great fighting and acting, and there's a lot of humor in this movie,
though not over the top as some of Lau Kar-leung's films later got.
the new Dragon Dynasty DVD is very good, though i wish "The RZA" could
speak fluent English, since he knows more than the other guy, but he's
hard to understand through his slang. the new DVD contains the classic English dub as well, which is pretty cool, as well as the Cantonese and Mandarin dubs (since all HK films were shot silently until about 1983, they are all dubbed).
