Trivia
Despite the title, Shaolin's special martial arts discipline is never mentioned, and no monks or monklets (disciples) appear in the film.

Goofs
When the bad guy is fatally paralyzed at the end, he still extends an arm protectively during his face plant, and lands in an arm-upraised position impossible for his supposed state of stiffness.

Kung Fu Finest (not)

Not the worst either of course and no pun intended. Joseph Kuo made quite a lot of movies - most being in the same vain and most containing a lot of combat scenes to say the least. So if you are into chinese martial arts, this may be right up your alley.

No reason to rate the acting to be honest. Hope you will be forgiving on certain things to. Be it the mood and the comedy this tries to set (walking a thin line) or anything else for that matter. Just enjoy the romp and the movie for what it is. It is supposed to entertain you with silliness and some decent choreographed fighting (the latter may feel a bit outdated, but is still nice to look at).
