New Legend of Shaolin!
Techincal:
Starring:Jet Li, Chingamy Yau, Wang Lung Wei.
Directed by:Wong Jing
Length: 94min Production year:1994.
In this film, Jet plays a Manchu-rebel with a son. This pair try desperatly to seek a safe shelter.
In the process they rescue four very young monks, who have just escaped a massacre on the Shaolin temple.
This attackers where Manchu soldiers serching for the Shaolin treasure. Jet soon discover that
the map to this treasure is tattooed to the young monks backs. So he must escort the monks to the Niu village, with
the Manchu government in his heel. Although some magic, this is a very good film. But it has a lot of sidetracks,
which can be quite boring. Some funny episodes, and some great fighting. But the bad guys car, this sinister customised
armoured car, is just stupid. Still this film is worth watching. I especially liked the son (played by Tse Miu) and
the swindler mom (played by Deannie Yip).
(3/5)
