Summary: Anyone Speak Farsi????????
Review: Ok, the fight scenes are alright, typical old school kung-fu, my only gripe is the bizarre subtitles. The version I got was NOT repeat NOT the DVD I thought I had ordered, but rather a VHS version??!!??!! Well I figured "SO WHAT, IM EASY AND IT'S WATCHABLE ANYWAYS". The funny thing is that the post production team must have pushed 3 buttons of subtitles then went to the mall for 90 minutes!! This version had English, Japanese ( I think), and something that looked very much like symbols from the Rosetta stone, all overlapping so one had to struggle to read the english appearing behind 2 other languages, very weird. Still, the film Itself is pretty decent action fare and I have seen worse post-production. I have one GAMERA film where the last 5 minutes of the film revert to the original Japanese, and another where the sound vanishes for the final 15 minutes. Like I said, Im easy to please!!!

Summary: Want to see a martial art action movie
Review: One of the best martial art movie that I have ever seen. The 36th. chamber of shaolin is similar to the movie "Enter the Dragon". This is an action packed movie and a must see for all martial art fans.

Summary: Bad movie, terrible DVD
Review: Stay away from this one! First of all, this may not the movie you are looking for. This is not the 36th Chamber of Shaolin (aka Master Killer)! This movie is better known as Crazy Shaolin Disciples, has basically no training sequences and Gordon Liu only in a minor role. But it's the DVD that's really bad. The movie is presented in Chinese Pan&Scan with Chinese and English subtitles (cannot be turned off). The special thing is that so much is cut off at the sides that there are almost constantly letters or entire words missing from the English subtitles. The disc has neither opening nor closing credits (except for the movie title) and generally is about on par with a bootleg tape. Enough said, I think you get my point.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very poor film
Review: This film is one of the worst martial films I've seen. Difinitely not what I expected. I was totally annoyed after the first 15 mins. It was like watching a Video CD. Subtitles were poor. And I fell asleep 3 or 4 times during the film. And I love martial art films
