"You tricked me, this isn't real blood". "Oh wait, it is"........2007-02-12

Set during the Japanese invasion, Gordon Liu stars as a monk who must deliver a secret map. Eric Tsang and Lau Ga-yung ('The 36 Crazy Fists') help Gordon out and then decide to try and get the box that has the map in it for themselves. Lau Kar Wing and Lily Li star as the main villians and make a great team. I have never seen Lily-Li as a villian before and she is good, as always. She is actually my favorite kung fu actress of all time. Easily. She is underused in this but everybody is underused. The story is a stupid comedy. I cracked a smile a few times but the story is completley midless.

The action is quite good but sadly there are only a few fights. The finale almost boosts it up to a 3 star rating but not quite. This movie has way too many great stars to dissapoint as much as it does. Even Fung Hak-on gets in on the action a little bit and Kong Do shows up but doesn't get to fight.

Full screened and picture quality is watchable. Commentary from Ric Myers is Ok. He mainly just reads off filmographies.

The fighting scenes were fair. The ending seemed to have been cutoff prematurely with no credit roll or anything. It was a budget priced movie so I shouldn't have expected much. Although Tai Seng is the largest distributor, I don't think I'm going to buy another DVD from them again.

Gordon Liu is just too good........2001-07-12

Japan is trying to take over China and take over the Shaolin Temple. The abbot Forces one of his best students to flee with a map holding great importance to china. Liu Fights his way through Japanese soldiers and makes his way to Dragon Mountain (maps destination). On his way he encounters two petty thiefs who follow him in hopes of getting something out of him. Instead the two men gain respect from the monk and help him find Dragon Mountain. On the way Liu teaches the two men kung fu and also some lessons on enlightenment. Before the three men can make it to Dragon Mountain they encounter a couple who has crossed over from china in hopes to get rich helping the japanese. Both skilled in the martial arts they attempt to halt Liu and his two new found friends. An amazing fight breaks out with some eye popping kung fu showcased. Gordon Liu shows off his talents in shaolin kung fu, and his enemies show how two are better then one. I loved this film, as well as all of Gordon Liu's films, and I believe that this is a must have.

Some very interesting fights and situations.......2000-09-21

This Gordon (Shaolin Master Killer) Liu starrer has the look and feel of a low-budget "earlier" Gordon Liu film. The fighting throughout most the film is OK non-memorable Shaolin-style fighting. The final battle, on the other hand, is special. Arguably, a long haul for a shorter gain. The film does boast several fights in which a man and woman (husband/wife?) engage in "tandem" fighting, that is, they fight a common foe simultaneously intergrating their moves and blows alternatingly and seamlessly. While this is nothing truly original, I have never seen a man and women combo fighting so intricately and intensely. This is NOT Jet Li and Aliya, as in "Romeo Must Die", doing little flips and comedic stunts. This is mesmerizing hard-core kung-fu action --- a REAL ORIGINAL TREAT. The film also has the distinction of having Gordon Liu fire a small pistol (once) --- (whaaah?)... that's right. As a Gordon Liu fan and purist, I did in fact cringe. The film, clearly one of Liu's "smaller" films, is still worthwhile for the awesome tandem fights I described and Liu's final fight which is very satisfying.

Very bad, basically garbage.......2000-04-26

I only know of one good movie with Gordon Liu which is the Shaolin Master Killer. Guns and martial arts don't mix and they have both in this movie.
