Wissenswertes
At least three Kill Bill references originate with this movie: Pai Mai's introduction scene references the stairway and water training scene; Pai Mai himself though in white in Kill Bill is the blind orange master monk (who in Kill Bill blinds Elle); and, finally, the five point finger exploding hand technique comes from the end battle scene of this movie, where the villain uses a special punch technique on the protangontists, but is only able to deliver four of the five blows (with the protagonist holding his heart, as Bill does, right before dying).

Patzer
A set of frames are in the wrong order when Stubborn is being escorted to Shaolin in the flashback.

UK video version is cut by 29 sec.

Kung Fu film "branches" out...

Under-rated film featuring a mute Jacky Chan who begins training at a Shaolin monastery. This films best draw-card is it's plot. This is your regular Kung Fu vengeance story but written much more cunningly and cleverly. The typical plot mechanisms are used, but they didn't bother me, and the story held my attention better than most modern movies I see.

Jackie's fighting is great, and I particularly enjoyed the training he receives from the Nun(?). Not to mention the inventive and really quite absurd training he gets from the imprisoned man.

As like other films of this period, I think that only Kung Fu genre die-hards will really sit through this and feel rewarded. The Wooden Men themselves never seemed as dangerous as the real men in the film - is this some kind of comment on human nature in a Kung Fu film?
