Summary: Paragon of Martial Art Movies
Review: Jet Li's first movie "The Shaolin Temple" is a rare gem. This movie is the paragon of all martial art movies. Unlike recent "kungfu movies" which are special effects(CGI etc.)and wire-work laden, this movie proves to us what real human powerness is all about. The storyline and backdrop of this movie is only an excuse for an exhibition of true martial art forms. Jet Li and his counterparts did a great job in this movie, displaying amazing, graceful, awesome, "transcending", timeless and ancient martial moves in the most delicate form.
Should not be missed by all martial art fans!!!

Summary: This is what started it all
Review: Jet's first feature film. This film was so controversial that it influenced Chinese youth to join the Shaolin monastery. Everyone wanted to be a Shaolin monk. Jet was very intensive in this film. It makes you wonder if he was just a natural born actor.Don't call yourself a fan unless you've seen this.

Summary: Real Gung-Fu
Review: One of the best gung-fu movies of all time. In this movie you will get to see real gung-fu. Many movies made in recent history feature wire-work that just really takes away from the action. But, in this movie all of the stunts performed are real.
Another one of the many pros about this movie is the sheer amount of forms performed in this movie. There are multiple weapon forms, Tiger Head Hooked Swords, Drunked Sword, Drunken Pole, Nine Section Whip, Double Nine Section Whip, 3-sectioned staff, Staff, Spear, Rope Dart, Meteor Hammers, and a less common shackle form(a form done with the arms bound together).
All of my gung-fu practitioning friends and I love this movie. The movie really gives you an idea of how powerful gung-fu practitioners really are.
A must get for anyone even slightly interested in martial arts.

Summary: Jet Li's first movie rocks!!
Review: Shortly after he became national all-around Wu Shu champion of China, Jet Li, at the age of, like, 19, made this kick-butt movie. Okay, the plot has been seen before: young martial artist goes to the Shaolin temple to train so he can take revenge on the murderer of his father. But the film goes a little deeper, since the hero cools down, learns humility and instead of getting the girl, becomes a monk. Good character development as Li wobbles between humility and burning desire for revenge. As flamboyant and action packed as Jackie Chan's movies are, Jet Li's, on the other hand, are just outstanding martial arts skill. Watch this movie for excellent examples of the martial artists being produced by the wu shu training camps in mainland China - broadswords, whip chains, three-sectional staff work, rope darts, killer long staff forms and combat, and awesome open-handed forms and combat. A real martial artists' movie.

Summary: The Shaolin Temple
Review: The movie is a great depiction of the real Shaolin, but the fighting scenes towards the end of the film seems to drag on. It's worth watching to see Jet Li in action in his first film ever and to see how life is at Shaolin.

Summary: An all stars show
Review: The movie stands out not only because of Jet Li's excellent KongFu show. In fact, all major roles in the movie were real martial artists in different martial art branches. The number one bad guy and the number one good guy are actually Jet Li's master rank. There were several branch national champions playing in that film. Pay attention to different martial art styles. As long as I can remember, the 1st bad guy was "drunken boxing" master, the 2nd bad guy was "talon boxing" master. The number one good guy was a "mentis boxing" master... One sentance: every actor who fought was masters in their specialties. You can imagine the total effect...

Summary: Jet Li in Full Effect
Review: The Shaolin Temple in a fantastic movie. The fight scenes in this movie are so good, you will not be able to take your eyes off the screen. Plus: the movie depicts the "drunken pole" style which is outrageous. Jet Li plays this mischiveous character that wants to be a monk to learn kung fu for what else...revenge! Even though this type of plot line has been seen before, the movie takes on a life of its own when the monks get in on the action. This is a "can't miss" for all fans of this genre and especially for fans of Jet. Also, this dvd allows you to watch the movie in dubbed english or the original language.
