Viewing Notes

This was not quite what I was expecting from Ringo Lam directing a martial arts fantasy centered around the persecution of the Shaolin monks, but it’s a happy surprise!

This movie gets bonkers at times with some seriously bloody action set pieces that have to be seen to be believed! I don’t understand why movies like this and THE SEVENTH CURSE don’t have a bigger following.

This is definitely movie night material!
