Viewing Notes
To avoid marriage Cheng sneaks off to become a monk. During his initial time he finds a bond with the other new monks and learns to be less selfish. A traitorous ex-monk shows up to challenge them and subsequently puts the beat down on everyone. Cheng trains to ultimately face the traitor in an epic final sequence. Not great but some decent fight sequences.
