Starring: John Liu, Alan Hsu. Directed by: Alan Hsu
This was a pretty decent kung-fu flick...or at least in this author's opinion. In this movie, John Liu plays Chu Fei Lin, a mysterious stranger who shows up in a Chinese town one day and saves a teenage boy from being beaten to death for sleeping with the local bigshot's daughter. The people in town are very suspicious of Chu and as it turns out, he's a man on a mission: to track down a deadly renegade Shaolin monk.
The comic relief in this movie is provided by the teenage boy. While most people won't find him all that funny and may even find his humor to be a little too much in the style of Jackie Chan in his early movies, it is interesting to see him being taught kung fu by Chu Fei Lin and watch him become an awesome kung fu fighter!
The fight scenes between John Liu and Alan Hsu are awesome in this movie.
If you ever get the chance to see "Renegade Monk," you might want to give it a watch! It's a very good old-school kung fu flick!
Also known as: Shaolin Ex Monk
