"If I could fight, I might have stopped them!"
In the midst of a brutal civil war anti-Ching rebels have established a base in Canton disguised as a school. Following its discovery by the Manchu government, San Te (Gordon Liu) manages to escape, whilst all others are massacred. He flees to the Shaolin Temple, determined to learn kung fu, in order one day to exact revenge.
Having been name checked by everyone from Quentin Tarantino, to the Wu-Tang Clan, this is a must see film for martial arts fans. A well written story drives the action, thought the centre of the story lies not in the revenge motif, but in the journey.
