The Shaolin Temple is the center of Chinese martial arts and the cradle of anti-Manchu patriots in the 17th century. However a shaolin renegade Shin has defected to the Manchu and is leading a suppresion of patriots trying to overthrow the Ching Dynasty. Tan Hsiung, a patriot, is arrested by Shin and later committed suicide. The Shaolin Abbot thus calls on his best student, Yun Fei to stop Shih from killing more people. Yung happens to find help from another anti-Manchu patriot, Tan Feng, who is actually Tan Hung's younger brother. Along with the help of Zorro, a master swordsman, the three finally settle the score with Shih.
Good old-school kung fu with a little bit of Jackie Chan, more of Sammo Hung, and all directed by John Woo. Like several others of the genre and time period, don't watch this for the witty, comedic antics of Jackie Chan, because there is not any. But see it as an old-school kung fu movie and be entertained.
