The Shaolin Temple Reviews
OK movie, but video transfer is pretty bad
A must-see for Jet Li fans, but I wish this had been subtitled, rather than dubbed in English. The film is not letterboxed.
The inclusion of the original theatrical trailer is a nice touch, but parts of the video transfer, especially low-light scenes such as the drunken pole/sword fight, are so low-contrast that it's difficult to see the action at times. The dubbing isn't terrible, but the translation takes a few liberties with the story line, such as disguising the fact that the animal he's roasting is his girlfriend's dog! The musical numbers, at least, have been kept from the original.
pretty cool flick
this is cool flick, but slow at times. if you just want see Jet when he's young and lightning fast, check this out. i love the shaolin training as well. i just didnt like the pace of the film, something. anyway, buy it because if your reading this review your probably already a Jet Li fan and your going to want to add this to your collection.
if your just starting out with Jet Li movies, get HERO, The Tai Chi Master, Fist of Legend (orginal, not the US version! ) or Kung Fu Colt Master(its a fantasy swordplay flick, confusing but great!)& Fong Sai Yuk.
enjoy!!
