SHAOLIN SAN LIU FANG
36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN, THE
There have been many kung-fu movies set in the famed Shaolin Temple, but none hascaptured the monasterys martial arts world quite like The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Liu Chia-liang, a legendary director of the genre, made a star of his brother Gordon Liu Chia-hui in this look at anti-Ching Dynasty rebels and their revolt against the Manchus. Chia-hui attains the ultimate knowledge of kung-fu by arduously mastering one chamber after another, eventually reaching the fabled 36th chamber. Armed with this knowledge, the monks engage in some of the most exciting battles ever staged in the history of martial arts movies. The film was Shaw Brothers number one hit of 1978.
