Member Topgun Posted March 18, 2010 Member Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hello guys, After watching these two titles, I have made up my mind that "Shaolin Intruders" is a much better movie due to its story and fighting choreography. Derek Yee is doing a good job in this one. I think people are biased in “Shaolin Prince” because the great Ti Lung is the lead actor. Please share your thoughts.

Member Fist Of Boss Posted March 18, 2010 Member Share Posted March 18, 2010 I say certain scenes in SI (fight in chairs and derek yee vs shaolin polefighters) are better than action in shaolin prince. But overall I prefer Prince.I like unusual weapons in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted March 18, 2010 Member Share Posted March 18, 2010 I like the characters and story in Prince a bit more. Intruders is a better movie for the action. I give Intruders the slight edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kaleyboy Posted March 18, 2010 Member Share Posted March 18, 2010 Intruders has a better cast overall: Phillip Ko, Lee Hoi San, Jason Pai Piao. And the action is much better, you can see how hard they must've worked on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Skepparkrans Posted March 18, 2010 Member Share Posted March 18, 2010 I really want to see Intruders, sadly i have to re-order it since my copy never arrived, i ordered it from dvdpacific and it seems like they have closed there business. Anyway, prince is great, even if i dont care much for the Ti Lungs three shaolin masters, they where a bit much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron Boat Posted March 18, 2010 Member Share Posted March 18, 2010 I wouldn't even call Shaolin Prince a good movie, Intruders is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cesare Posted March 23, 2010 Member Share Posted March 23, 2010 Love them both, for different reasons... Intruders are IMHO overall better and definitely surpass Prince choreo-wise, but Shaolin Prince is -- delightfully funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tosh Posted March 24, 2010 Member Share Posted March 24, 2010 Anyway, prince is great, even if i dont care much for the Ti Lungs three shaolin masters, they where a bit much for me. Agreed there, though the ending is pretty entertaining, Intruders for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member prinnysquad Posted April 4, 2010 Member Share Posted April 4, 2010 Shaolin Intruders is great, just pure entertainment from start to finish. I watched it with a mate and we loved every minute of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted April 5, 2010 Member Share Posted April 5, 2010 I don't solidly remember "Shaolin Prince" but from what I do recall, I think I prefer "Shaolin Intruders." That final fight is a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted April 6, 2010 Member Share Posted April 6, 2010 That final fight in Intruders is pretty sweet, but the final fight in Prince is one area where I think Prince is far superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron_Leopard Posted December 27, 2017 Member Share Posted December 27, 2017 Have to be honest and admit I didn't care for Shaolin Prince too much. My least favorite of Tang Chia's three movies he directed. Cant complain about the fight scenes though. They were great. But the problem for me was what was going on in between the fight scenes. Which felt like absolutely nothing. Didn't care for the plot, the characters, or the god awful comedy. I couldn't take much more of the three stooges/monks. I guess it's passable for a first time director but this movie isn't even in the same stratosphere as "Shaolin Intruders" which for me is a top ten 80s Shaw flick.

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted December 27, 2017 Member Share Posted December 27, 2017 Never dug it either, and Ti Lung playing some young novice at this point is more ridiculous than him playing Jackie's dad in DMII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even think about that lol. Anither thing that bugged me was it was obvious Ti Lung didn't want to shave his head for this movie. That's got to be the only reason the three masters who raised him had long hair also. So it would make sense why his character had hair also.

I read somewhere Shaws didn't generally want their actors shaving their heads, hence the focus on the lay Shaolin students in films like Heroes Two, and the general lack of the frontal temple shave favoured in the Ching Dynasty. By 1983...probably just poor ol' Ti trying to retain his Alain Delon look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted December 27, 2017 Member Share Posted December 27, 2017 Yeah, the big stars were doing multiple movies a year and occasionally at the same time, so it would not be practical. I think the bit players and Gordo was the only ones who really shaved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member massa_yoda Posted December 27, 2017 Member Share Posted December 27, 2017 Shaolin Prince is one of my favorites. Bummer you didn’t like it, but I agree Intruders is also a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the main issue that I have with Shaolin Prince - I think that someone younger should have played that role. I know that they wanted a big name/draw actor but that role should have gone to someone like one of the baby venoms. Anyway back on topic. I would say it would come down to the viewers choice as both movies are good. But personally, it would be Battle For Shaolin over 3 Holy Fools.

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted December 28, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2017 Man, I haven't seen either of these flicks since IVL released them back in '04 and '05. Out of the two of them though, it's 'Shaolin Prince' that sticks in the memory as being the most entertaining. If I recall correctly it's one of the true HK 'everything and the kitchen sink' movies, with Tong Gaai throwing everything at us from Canto comedy, to supernatural shenanigans, to a sedan chair infused finale. It had a certain manic energy which I felt was missing from 'Shaolin Intruders', but if I watched them together now I'd be curious to see if I still felt the same way.
