This movie is all about martial arts. Though it has a scenario with some politics, it's not very interesting since we don't have much background about it (to sum it up, it's the typical dictatorship that nobody dare attack, our hero being one of the rebels), the main interest of this film is what are the martial arts all about, how the hero is going to learn them, how are they used in the Shaolin Temple, and how is the hero going to use them. We have some great training sequences, with trial and error, much like in Kill Bill Vol.2 (which also had Gordon Liu !). In the end, if you've the slightest interest in martial arts, I'd say that you're going to love this movie. Both the philosophy around martial arts, and the actual use of martial arts are excellent.
