Those of you who are fans of the band The Wu-Tang Clan have no doubt heard sound clips from this movie in their debut CD, "Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers)."
The movie starts out with one of the most amazing kung-fu fight scenes you'll ever see when a lone Wu Tang monk takes on an entire squad of Shaolin monks. This fight scene alone is reason enough to track this movie down!
Now to the storyline. In "Shaolin and Wu Tang," Gordon Liu plays Shaolin fighter Hung Jun-kit and Adam Cheng plays Wu Tang fighter Chao Fung-wu. Both are students in the same town, and both are friends despite the rivalry between the two schools. Jun-kit's sister Yan-ling happens to have a crush on Fung-wu.
When the local Qing lord finds out that both students are experts at Shaolin kung-fu and Wu Tang sword styles, he decides that they are a threat and he must learn their respective styles. He also kills the abbot of the Wu Tang school, as well as Yan-ling.
Does the Qing lord turn these two friends against each other, and can he stir up the traditional rivalry between the two schools for his own benefit? Also, can he master the Shaolin Chin Kang Fist technique and the Wu Tang Sword style? Watch and see!
This movie is a true kung-fu classic and is one you'll most certainly want to watch again and again!
