"The Japanese Shaolin Temple wants to prove they are better than the Chinese Shaolin. They come for a duel. Alan Chui (main villain in 7 Grand Masters) is also a Japanese and has got some kind of plan of his own. I could never really get into the story, I usually just pay attention to the fights when I watch this. And I watch it at least once a month. It is one of my favorites. I am a big fan of old school cheesy kung fu movies, and they don't get much better than this. Alexander Lo Rei has a brilliant fight with a masked Alan Chui and then the tournament scene is the only other really good fight. In fact, it is one of the best action scenes ever. First up is a grappling match between Lo Rei and Yeung Hung (Brasshead from "The Kid with the Golden Arm"). Wong Chi Sang gets in some good spear work in his fight, and director Robert Tai gives himself a cameo and has the best fight of the movie.
I have to stop right now and just let it be known this is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen, but it has some of the best kung fu. Robert Tai is not right in the head, so sit back and enjoy the craziness.
3.5/5
I have an old VHS tape of this. It is about 75 minutes long and has really bad picture quality. And it is full screened. If somebody knows of a good uncut version, please let me know."
A give away treasure

"For those thrifty shoppers out there this martial film is one of the best buys you will get anywhere. The fight scenes are first class, Alexander Lu has a series of these type of films and they all are quality."
