Review by Leofwine_draca

Despite the title this has nothing to do with Shaolin other than the style used by one of the heroes. Instead it has that classic kung fu backdrop, the textile mill, for a story of greed and business rivalry. Those expecting a lot from Chi Kuan Chuan will be disappointed by his tiny role but Alexander Fu Sheng shines as the arrogant young hero in what is one of his very best roles. The action is good but not great, done better elsewhere, but it's the depth and thematic exploration of materialism that makes this film particularly interesting, the ending resembling a Shakespearian tragedy.
