Overview
A kung fu fanatic, Yu Ting (Alexander Lo Rei), searching for the ultimate master, saves a young Shaolin monk, Hsu Shi (William Yen), from a group of mobsters and sees it as a golden opportunity to enrich his kung fu skills. He persuades the young novice monk to smuggle him into Shaolin, but Ting’s presence isn’t welcome and he is driven out, but remains close to the temple, keeping in touch with Hsu Shi. When Ting rescues a girl from the clutches of the Flying Eagle gang, the Golden Wheel Lama and sworn enemy of Shaolin finds the perfect excuse to lead an assault on the Temple. Realizing Ting’s devotion, the abbot decides to bring Ting into the Shaolin order and teach him the deadliest techniques to prepare him for the Lama’s merciless fury.

Viewing Notes
One of the better Taiwanese kung fu flicks with non-stop action and good albeit simple story. Great to see Dan Halsted’s 35mm print of this, the only one known that exists. Great that there was such a good pre-sales response that they put this in the main screen at Music Box.
