Shao Lin men

I don't know about other people, but I don't imagine I would've come across this had it not been an early John Woo film that also happened to include Jackie Chan in small roles.

It's interesting to see three action movie icons honing their skills, and the film as a whole is watchable, if a little dull and by the numbers in parts (the opening half or so is particularly slow).

It gets better by the second half, and as you'd expect from a classic martial arts film, there's some pretty good action right near the end that's worth sticking around for. I'd say that as long as you go in with moderate expectations, there's enough here to make it worthwhile.
