Guest Dragon Lung Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Here is the cover art of Shaolin wooden men (HKL) www.discshop.se/shop/ds_p...vies&&ref= Is this film any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmungus Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 has its moments & worth giving a shot. compared to other ´76 productions tho, (ie executioners from shaolin, secret rivals or shaolin traitorous) its mediocre at best. my rating would be s/t like a 6.5/10. (whereas curt mccarter thinks its an 8: www.kungfucinema.com/revi...denmen.htm ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vengeanceofhumanlanterns Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 If I remember correctly Kam Kong is the villian and this is one Jackie's old school films. I agree with jmungus a 6.5/10 would definitely be a fair rating on this one. Kam Kong is one of the best leads for the independent releases. Ferocious Monk From Shaolin, Master Of The Flying Guillotine, Murder Of Murders, Iron Monkey (the original), and so on. He was a student of Tan Tao Liang's. Now isn't Shaolin Wooden Men an a.k.a. for Snake And Crane Arts Of Shaolin? It's been a while since I've seen this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MANOZEN Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi , Shaolin Wooden Men is a fantastic showcase for Jackie Chans kung fu styling IMO . The opening credit sequence alone displays many an example of brilliant form and technique from Chan, just check those wickedly executed salutes ! Further to Jackies performance is the excellent training sector where JC defines perfection with his incredible stancework ! :smokin Lets just hope HKL get a good render from their film elements and also include a mandarin track too .

Guest Markgway Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The AKA for 'Shaolin Wooden Men' is 'Shaolin Chamber of Death'. The former being the original title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Couch Foo Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 All existing versions of this movie so far are severely screwed up one way or another, so perhaps this will be a chance to have a decent one at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thundered mantis Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Great news! For me, it´s one of the old school Jackie good ones: Shaolin Wooden Men Snake & Crane Arts Spiritual Kung Fu (can´t help but liking the ghosts :lol ) SITES DM Dragon Fist Fearless Hyena Young Master Dragon Lord I prefer it to Secret Rivals and to Executioners, although this is just personal taste...
