Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shaolin vs Lama is one of the all-time best kung-fu movies.
Review: The fight coordination in this movie is excellent with very good flow and little, noticible overdubbing. It has an excellent blend of plot develoment, humor, and lots high-paced action. It is the classic battle of good vs evil, with one monk who must train hard to become good enough to avenge his master.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Kung Fu Classic!
Review: This is definately one of my all time favorite kung fu movies. It has a fantastic blend of great fight scenes, comedy, and standard oldschool kung fu flick cheesyness a la Drunken Master (the origional, not "Legend of...) or Shaolin Temple. There is some wire-work, but usually not during the fight scenes. The quality of the transfer isn't bad, and it scenery is quite colorful. Some other reviewers commented on there being a lack of origional language/subtitles, but I think the dubing really adds to the overall character of the movie. If you are a martial arts movie fanatic like me, don't hesitate to add this one to your collection. You won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsom Flick, needs Better DVD!
Review: This is one of my favorites with allot of fighting, but the DVD is disappointing. They need to release a Widescreen version with original language and not the [bad] English dubbed, or re dub it with better voices!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Classics
Review: This is one of the first old school kung-fu flicks I saw, and it's still one of the best. Even for today, the fight scenes still shine. They'e fast and look great. The story is pretty typical of other kung-fu films, but this one was done very well. The action is top-notch, and the dubbing is awesome. Classic dub, and this is why I don't want the subtitled version of this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unforgetable!
Review: This is one of those movies that you don't forget after seeing it once because it is so well done. The high quality of fighting is realized almost immediately into the movie. The bad guy's skills are to die for (pun intended). The action is hyper-quick and the fight scenes are simply beautiful, I mean beautiful!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First rate campy Kung Fu!
Review: This movie is a classic example of campy Kung Fu. Plenty of acrobatics and fast action fights, complete with spraying bodily fluids. Sit back and enjoy the lousy dubbing and cheesy dialog. I first saw this movie eleven years ago and have been looking for it ever since. Amazon delivered. I'm proud to have this one in my video collection.

Rating: 5 stars
