The Movie
 

Based on a legend from Shaolin Temple folklore, Jet Li plays a vengeful youth, Chieh Yuan, who joins the Shaolin Temple in order to acquire the necessary skills to fight a vicious warlord who murdered his father.

After many years of training Chieh Yuan believes that he is ready to take revenge for his father's death, but the warlord's kung fu skills prove too mighty for the monk, who just manages to escape back to Shaolin to train in earnest for a second innings!

My Thoughts Movie Ratings

Jet Li's debut film.  And a great one at that.  Proving to the world that a new star had been born.
