Shaolin Temple (JetLi) Trilogy?

[lillippa328]

So, is Kids from Shaolin a sequal to Shaolin Temple?And whats the 3rd one in the series?

[Drunken Monk]

The third is called "Martial Arts from Shaolin." As far as I can remember, "Kids from SHaolin" is a sequel, yes, but it doesn't have the same characters in it.
Someone may correct me here but I believe the first and third outings do have the same characters.
It's been a while since I've watched them.

By the way, does anyone else feel the choreography in the "Shaolin Temple" movies is vastly underrated?

Yup, go for Shaolin Temple and Martial Arts of Shaolin. Martial Arts I have on dvd from Eastern Heroes, not bad, with both English and Cantonese versions (cover says Mandarin though). Kids from Shaolin has kids and humour...

Hey

Hey



whats up?

Haven't seen Martial Arts but the other two films aren't connected. The whole Shaolin Temple series was I think done after the fact by a UK distributor

First film was good, the second was rather painful

Still waiting to replace my once upon in time in china trilogy with a box set. Jet Li is awesome.

he is :)

jet li says there was no action director and they did their own action it makes it that much better

[The Dragon]

... Jet Li is awesome.

When he's doing his Far East material, he is.

:l

I'm surprised not many people in the thread are familiar with Martial Arts of the Shaolin Temple, I believe it was Li's only collaboration with Shaw Bros and it's directed/choreographed by Lau Kar-Leung. It's far superior to the other 2 entries in the series, near classic in my eyes

[D1 Ma]

Totally agree. I think MAoS is one of the best Li's films. Great scenery, two.

[Yi-Long]

It's a nice trilogy. Personally, I prefer the first one over the other 2.

Kids from Shaolin I didnt really care much for, but that was mainly because of the bad dub. When I saw a chinese version with english subs, I liked it a lot more. Also, the girl in it is gorgeous :)

MAoS is nice, certainly has some great action, but TBH I couldnt really care about the story or characters, and the 'humour', like Jet in 'drag', I could have done without. I should probably watch it again, but it's a bit hard to get motivated to do so.
