return to the 36th chamber (1980)

aka Shao Lin da peng da shi.
"I knew when you first entered this place you were phoney."
The boss of a dye works hires some Manchu to bully his Han workforce and cuts their wages for the privilege. The workforce hire a con artist to play a Shaolin priest, who tricks the Manchu into restoring their wages, but the boss then humiliates Chao (Chia Hui Liu) and dejected Chao determines to actually learn Shaolin kung fu, the only way he knows how, by conning his way into the temple.
Martial arts comedy, that provides some fine set piece fight scenes along the way.
