Assembling ... papers(?)

No paper intended - I mean pun of course. If you are a fan of Eastern cinema/movies I do not need to convince you of anything of course. While I watched a lot of movies when I was a kid (I didn't know or looked for who made them, so Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers or whatever), but I probably only scratched the surface. Not to mention that I don't remember all of them.Sammo Hung is quite the force here - his character is both ridiculous and very dangerous ... the "flying" items thing (later movies furthered those ideas with Guillotines) for example ... quite crazy on its face ... then again gets a... head! Sorry had to! You'll understand once you watch - quite early on in the movie.The action scenes are quite good - I am surprised how bloody the movie gets at times. The weapons look kinda good I reckon - they are plastic, but the sound effects (oh how did I miss them) make everything here cool I reckon.Movie might be a bit too long, but the action really helps a lot. It even gets on fire at one point ...

Thank you Sammo!

The last movie that fight choreographer Sammo Hung made with his mentor director Huang Feng (Lady Whirlwind, Hapkido) before directing The Iron-Fisted Monk, The Shaolin Plot is about Prince Daglen (Chan Sing) who is creating a library of Chinese martial arts manuals and learning each form so he becomes the greatest fighter in the world.With only two manuals left, he sends a renegade monk (Hung) with two cymbals he uses to chop heads to take the Wu-Tang and Shaolin books. Yet for his plan to happen, Daglen will have to get inside the Shaolin temple, which will see him battle Little Tiger (James Tien) and a warrior monk team (Casanova Wong and Kwan Yung Moon).I'm such a fool for movies like this, where people need to take all of the knowledge and moves and create their own ultimate style. Anything with the Wu-Tang or Shaolin makes me happy and as long as these movies keep getting re-released, I'm going to never stop watching them and throwing little kicks in the air as I cheer the fights.As a fat guy who loves martial arts, I just have to say, "Thank you Sammo." You have made all of us so proud.
