Summary: Not a sequel, yet good none the less.
Review: Don't think this is the sequel to the wu-tang classic starring gordon lui, cause it's not. But it's still a good film. In this one the Wu tang try and take over the shoaling temple by placing one of their own as the abbot. Some very interesting styles and fights follow, as the remaining shoaling followers and a ban of shaolin masters fight to regain what was theres.

Summary: Supurb
Review: From start to finish this movie is great. It has highly skilled martial arts. It takes place on location at the real shao lin temple and wu dang temple. some great styles, and great fight scences. Also there is a great horse race battle with they are coming from mongolia. Forget what the last review said about realistic. Everything is realistic. In all chinese movies. You just have to have some knowledge behind what they are doing.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fun flick
Review: OK, not the best in the world, but worth the purchase. Tons of silly dialogue, corny intros to the main characters (wait'll you see the stunt 'horse riding' antics), but the fight scenes are strong; extended in length, and choreographed very well. The finale is gritty, but without a lot of excessive melodrama. All in all, pretty good, but only when you have the extra bucks.

Summary: Good Stuff.
Review: This is a great kung-fu flick. Plenty of action, decent storyline, and fun fight scenes. If the old kung-fu movies are somthing you like, you'll be entertained by this one.

What sets this movie apart from many other movies of this genre are the fantastic views of the Chinese countryside. Seriously, some of the settings for the action of this film are just amazing.

No, it isn't as good as the first movie with Gordon Liu, but how many martial arts movies are? Buy this movie already.
