When it come to monks, all I can think of is peace. Well, Shaolin monks are a little different. They are one type of special force of their temples. They will fight and give up their lives to save their temples instead of setting themselves on fire like other monks you have seen on the News in Vietnam war era.
This movie is very good, especially the part that Jackie Chan plays. Incredible Kung Fu display in this movie. Very good thought out plan for the story of this movie. Great cast, good story, and heart pounding actions equal great entertainment. Jet Li did great in his version of "Shaolin" , wait until you see this one. I recommend this flix for all ages. I feel all of us can benefit from this experience.
The best martial arts movie ever! Fantastic cinematography and exceptional acting tell a captivating tale of right and wrong. Jackie Chan takes a smaller yet pivotal role that perfectly suits him. Amazing production values on every level that represent a new standard for all future films in the genre. I rarely buy a movie anymore but this is a MUST add to the collection of any martial arts fan.
Very Serious Actions! Wars! Jackie Chan saves World and Peace Maker as usual. Worthy to watch. A lot of action-packed, excitements, some funnier, some sad and crazy. This is one of Jackie Chan's best movie. I recommend anyone to watch this movie and any Jackie Chan movies if you love Jackie Chan as his fan! This was a really great movie. The settings, actions, and actings in the movie are amazing. Jackie not only shows he can still fight, do acting as comedian and do stunts like before, he shows that he is an amazing actor. And I love his movie ending's bloopers - funnier. I bought this movie to complete my Jackie Chan Movie set since I have the first two Police Story movies I really believe these could be the best one because they not only have great action the acting is great to. I would recommend these movies to anyone who is interested in buying any Jackie Chan movies. You like Jackie Chan movies, you are truly a Jackie Chan fan. I would recommend anyone to watch Jackie Chan movies.
This is one of the best martial arts/action/drama films around. Andy Lau is superb as is Nicolas Tse and even Jackie Chan in a lesser role. He plays a serious character and not his usual goofy self. Plus, the theme song is one of the most beautiful songs "Wu," I have ever heard. It means Enlightenment and the movie like the song, certainly is.
