5 out of 5 stars Old "Skool" Kung Fu!1.......2006-07-02

I saw this flick " The wandering Monk" in my early teen,,and remember really enjoying it. After searing high and low for this flick,,I came across it in Paris, France in 2004. This is not your typical 5 star movie, but more like 4 stars,,,,but for me,,this flick was one of the few which really developed my passion for old school kung fu,,therefore, I cannot give it anything less than 5 stars!! The old school kung fu is absolutely amazing,,if you enjoy the crane style,,this movie depict that immensely. The fight scenes are frequent and nothing less than amazing, the story is great and the choreography off the chizzel!! Rest assured,,,you can't, and will not go wrong with this one in your collection!!

    5 out of 5 stars Shaolin Mantis.......2007-04-25

    This is one of my favorite kung fu fic's of all time. The final fight scene is one of my top five finishing moves of all time, next to North Shaolin vs South Shaolin. The movie starts off a little slow only to set you up for two different but simular fight scenes. The female lead is just a bit silly but she plays the spoiled brat very well. The opening scene and the ending are in typical Asian style (a few light moments, surrounded by alot of conflict). A mission turned love story to tragity, ending with a twist. This is a classic you or any body would want to add to their Kung fu collection.

    5 out of 5 stars Old "skool" Kung Fu!!.......2006-06-23

    "Shaolin Mantis" remains one of my top 10 best kung fu flicks of all time. This was my first exposure to the mantis fist, and to me it's still very impressive even now. David Chiang performed stallerly, his overall demeanor in this movie was simply top notch!! I would recommend this flick to any old school kung fu lovers out there,,this is one which you'll not walk away dissapointed!! The only draw back is the picture quality,,,almost every copy I've come across is really poor// however, still did not take anything away from this amazing flick!!

    5 out of 5 stars us fu fans need to get together and get rid of groundzero.......2006-04-15

    I still had to give it 5 stars cause the movie is so damn good. But it is really sad how bad they messed this one up. Most of the fights can be seen clearly, but I have the red sun version of this and it INSTANLY became one of my favorites ever. So if you are like me and see this thing for 3.99 at the used store then I highly suggest picking it up, but then again if you are a movie fan at all than I urge you to get the red sun version for like 9.99. Now since groundzero seriously puts like no effort whatsoever in their releases, we get the benefit of an uncut version. around 97 minutes, but just like a movie like her, it could have gone on for another half an hour or even an hour would have been appreciated by me.

    Now the movie itself is a true classic. I have to say that Lau kar0leung puts togethter his best directing performance ever. Most people will put 36th chamber ahead of this which is cool, but I like a variety of things in a movie, AND MAN DID THIS ONE GIVE IT TO ME. Now I do strongly urge you to get this movie because it is a rare gem. David chiang stars as someone working for the government and has to go on a mission to capture a revolutianary(lau kar-wing). When he arrives at his destination he meets a young woman who is beating up her teacher and throwing him out of her family;s house when chiang shows up. So of course chiang becomes her teacher, because, well, her uncle is the guy that chiang is looking for. Now the love story in this is what makes this flick EXTREMELY unique. I would have to give the edge to this movie over another of my favorites of lau's, shaolin challenges ninja. The action in ninja edges this out a little but you just can't beat the story in this. Now this is kung fu and while the love story actually made me forget that I watch these movies just for the next fight, the love didn't end up where I wanted it to. But to replace a partially great love story are a series of like 4 kung fu fights that pretty much come one right after the other, except for a small break for chiang to learn mantis style. And I have to interrupt myself to say that I am not a chiang fan, at all!!! But he is VERY good in this one and I certainly will look at him differently from now on. His work with the 3-section staff is pretty cool, and the way he learns mantis goes back to the origins of kung fu. While it is pretty far fetched, the martial arts are actually based off of watching animals movement, hence the 5 animal forms. Also li-li-li makes a nice appearence as david's girl's mom. She is extremely hot like always and does some good fighting but they could have made more with her character. But still there is a series of battles in this one that will make your jaw drop. To give you a preview, the final fight goes like this, I will give a SPOILER warning but I am just explaining the fights, so read below if you want to know who the fights will include.

    Final series
    1.-norman chu double swords.
    2.-wilson tong with the spear. BTW, I don't know wilosn very well(except snake in monkey's shadow of course), but I had to read kungfucinema.com's review to find out who this guy was who is wielding the spear. Now I recognize him from master killer and many others, awesome MA.
    3.-lau with the pipe, nice showcase for good hand to hand, oh this scene is freaking sweet. Almost better than the scenes with the girl and the one wher ehe learns mantis.

    One hell of a movie.

    5 out of 5 stars GREAT MOVIE.......2005-10-13

    SHALION MANTIS WAS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE WITH A GREAT ENDING.

    SHAOLIN MANTIS IS RATED R FOR NON-STOP STRONG KUNG FU VIOLENCE.

    4 out of 5 stars Nice movie to watch.......2004-09-02

    The first time I have watched this movie, I figured it was bad. The second time had watched this movie, it's worth 4 stars. I have seen better Shaw Brothers movies. Nonetheless, the story from I Kuang is always brillant.

          Seven-star mantis quan is a kind of shape-simulating boxing, which was developed and compiled by Wang Lang, a boxer at early Qing Dynasty, applying the capturing and fighting skills of the two arms when he researched the scene of mantis capturing cicada. Later, Wang Lang stayed at Shaolin Temple for 3 years, and taught mantis boxing to the monks of this temple. White Ape Offering Fruit is one of the routines in seven-star mantis boxing, which uses the temper force with grace, both long and short actions, harmonious and consistent actions of the hands and feet, forthright rhythm, integral strength and complete force, the actions of hook, grad, twining and closing, being coherent, compact and most changeful.
