Summary: This is good "early Chan" Stuff
Review: This is good early Chan stuff. The acting is alittle slow, and sometimes typical of most kung fu flicks,but the wooden men scene and the last fight seen make Chan really stand out. I think that it is worth watching once and could be fun to watch with friends on a boring weekend.

Summary: Shaolin Wooden Men
Review: This movie is worth buying. Jackie is very young. The beginning is typical Shaolin training, which was interesting to me. The plot is creative. There are some cheesy parts -like when Jackie meneuvers nimbly in a pool of lard without slipping. The plot twists ironically into an almost sad conclusion (but again a little cheesy). I would recommend it for no more than ten bucks.

Summary: The Best and Most Serious of all Jackie Chan Movies
Review: This movie, in my opinion, is Jackie's greatest. He plays "Little Mute", a boy training in kung fu at the shaolin monastery who is tormented by the witnessing of his father's death. Jackie is given a hard time by his fellow students and is ocassionally punished by his teacher for slacking off. Soon after his punishment, Jackie meets the Drunken Monk who teaches him a few drunken kung fu techniques. He then meets a prisoner who agrees to teach him the 'Lion's Roar" technique if he brings him food each day. After nearly mastering the prisoners kung fu he is taught by a nun who practices the "Gliding Snake" kung fu. In result of all his hard work, Jackie is sent on a mission to fight the famous "Wooden Men" and deliver a message. Little does he know that the prisoner has returned to his life of crime and is the true murderer of Little Mute's father
This is without a doubt,Jackie Chan's greatest kung fu movie. If you are used to his kung fu comedies, then most likely you would not enjoy it. There is hardly any comedy at all and is filled with nonstop fighting and training sequences. It offers a typical avenging death plot with plenty of action that would sure to please any serious old fashioned kung fu movie fan. P.S.-Don't buy the Columbia/Tristar version of the film which cuts out the first 10 minutes of the film. It contains a nonstop fighting demonstration and the opening credits.
