Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted January 12, 2020 Member Share Posted January 12, 2020 Shaolin Temple, the epic, all-star wrap-up to Chang Cheh's Shaolin cycle and his return to HK following the Taiwan stint. Great training scenes, great fights, life lessons and knowledge nuggets, figures from martial arts lore etc. What's not to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted January 14, 2020 Member Share Posted January 14, 2020 Yes, WHY ??? I haven't vote as yet, though choosing only one is very difficult !! I love all of them, but among the 7 of them (Showdown at the cotton mill isn't a pure Shaws' one, but deserves to be here, in my opinion), I would have chosen Showdown at the Cotton Mill, Five Shaolin Masters and Two champions of Shaolin ex aequo, I can't choose one among these...

That series is what gave me the idea for the poll even though I didn't explicitly say that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes hopefully the mods will fix this soon and I'll cast my vote for Cotton Mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CT KID Posted January 15, 2020 Member Share Posted January 15, 2020 I sent a message to the administrators about the issue so hopefully they will open it back up soon. The reason I picked Showdown at the Cotton Mill is because of how the close and loving bond between Chi and his wife and son are portrayed, his loyalty to his Shaolin brothers, the way Tan plays the villain with cunning and ruthlessness, and the incredible matchup and contrast between Chi and Tan's styles.

I couldn't say it better !! And also, the story is more explicit regarding why Chi Kuan Chun was in war with the guys of the cotton mill (if I remember well), at least much better than in the Shaws' movie...

I just "re-opened" it and cast my vote. Hopefully, it's working for others now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator thekfc Posted January 16, 2020 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2020 For me it was between Shaolin Temple & Showdown at the Cotton Mill. I had to give the nod to Shaolin Temple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member panku Posted January 17, 2020 Member Share Posted January 17, 2020 Chose Shaolin Temple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted January 19, 2020 Member Share Posted January 19, 2020 I went for SHAOLIN TEMPLE too (very closely followed by FIVE SHAOLIN MASTERS). Gotta rewatch COTTON MILL, only watched it once right at the beginning of my HK movie "addiction" and don't remember very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron_Leopard Posted February 10, 2020 Member Share Posted February 10, 2020 Five Shaolin Masters all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tex Killer Posted April 6, 2020 Member Share Posted April 6, 2020 5 shaolin masters. Although it is so close to shaolin temple imo if watch shaolin temple now could give vote for it. Both are masterpieces but maybe coz of drama but still masters have edge. For action, Temple is superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
