A kung fu directed by Benny Chan, starring Jackie Chan and Andy Lau.
During the warlord era of early republican China, Shaolin temple is a total disaster area.
The plot was a little disjointed and some of the subtitles didn't work. What I mean is that "sub duration: 3,303" is not a substitute for important dialogue. There was some wire used in long jumps, or jumps off of buildings, but there was no flying. The heroes and villains each got equal screen time, which I thought was a little odd. Also, the sun did not make an appearance. It seemed like everything was done at night. This would have been o.k., but I know that real shaolin monks practice all morning, not in the evening. I'm rating this o.k. for being generally mediocre.
