Product Description In the early years of the Republic, China has been plunged into chaos as feuding warlords battle to expand their power and their lands. Young army leader Hou Chieh (Andy Lau) and his sworn brother Tsao Man (Nicholas Tse) find themselves on opposing sides as the war escalates. The ultimate battle ensues when the army is set to besiege the peaceful Shalin Temple and the peace-loving monks are forced to take up arms to protect their people and beloved temple. Review "Brilliant action sequences boasting martial arts on par with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" --Film LinkA big budget action film packed full of stars with an official seal of approval from the Shaolin Temple itself" --Heroic Cinema

Review: Fable About Kindness and Karma Through the Shaolin Temple - This movie is in Mandarin with English subtitles if you turn on closed captioning (CC). This is a wonderful fable teaching the importance of kindness and how karma can strike when you least expect it. The story focuses on a general who shows no mercy for anything. He had all the riches beyond what he needed but still wanted more. One day his world collapsed in front of him and his only solace is the Shaolon Temple where he made real friends and learned the true meaning of kindness beyond the importance of the material things he once had. He became a different person based on principles learned at the Shaolin Temple. The special effects and kung fu choreography are excellent in this movie. The movie is action packed and has moments of humor just as expected in all Jackie Chan's movies. Great story and action. You do have to scroll back a few times to read the subtitles though, which you have to expect when watching foreign movies.
Review: A Modern Shaolin Movie That May Some Day Be a Classic - Fascinating epic with beautiful martial arts scenes. Gives at least some historical insight into the Shaolin Temple, which has been destroyed and rebuilt more than once, "Martial Zen" and the culture of the monks inside, alongside the murderous removal of Chinese artifacts for European museums under sleazy and scandalous circumstances. The lead actor and actress and main supporting actor are splendid and their characters are unique and fairly well developed. The story is by turns dramatic, epic, tragic, heartwarming, moving, and entertaining. Jackie Chan has a touching supportive role. The Temple Abbot is the epitome of life time commitment to martial arts and meditation, an elder who is compassionate and wise who also holds his own in a fight is and far from frail, and there's a wonderful scene at about 1:07 involving a repenting former warlord who is learning deep reflection, practicing with a school-aged monk who is already very proficient on a cold night while the Abbot and the Cook watch on, unnoticed. For me this scene is touching in how much the man misses his own daughter, but gets along with such sweetness with the boy, who holds his own with the adult, and watching them moving in sync is rather beautiful. It's a violent action blockbuster, combined with historical fiction, combined with family and village drama, combined with the humble grandeur and legend of Shaolin. Is it perfectly accurate in its depiction of things in all details? Likely not, but how it approaches and blends so many elements is fascinating and rewarding, with themes of sin and redemption and our shared humanity that are woven throughout but in ways that are not heavy handed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Violent but with a powerful message.
*by R***Y on January 12, 2013*

Brutal movie, but realistic, as opposed to many overdone "action" films. The story-line is one that young people see frequently in "gaming". But cartoon characters don't bleed, or cry. So this is tough for teens, in a way, but the discussion that follows is very thoughtful. Of course if you love Shaolin, and Kung Fu, you appreciate that most of the action was"wire-less" and authentic. Jackie Chan's segments were amusing and well-done, but since "comic relief" only appeared in one segment, it seemed a bit odd and out of sync. We might have liked to see more of him, a little less humorously, for balance throughout. Worth watching with parents, friends, teacher(?) for discussion of moral an ethical meanings.
