Ten Brothers Of Shaolin Views
If anyone were to ask, coming across a gem like Ten Brothers of Shaolin is why I watch and review countless bad kung fu movies, particularly from Taiwan. The truth is, if you know your ‘fuM’ then seeing The Hot, The Cool and the Vicious alum Tommy Lee and Don Wong Tao on the credits, you should know youW’re in for killer kung fu.
The plot is pure adventure packed with action as a Ming leader known as King Chu (Lau Lap-cho) is forced to leave Shaolin Temple and escape the closing grasp of Qing forces led by Kun Ting-ho (Chang Yi). Shaolin layman Chi-hong (Don Wong Tao) is charged with escorting him while nine of his fellow Shaolin brothers are sent out in disguise to run interference. Assisting is the lovely, but fierce Ming rebel Liu Shao-hua (Chia Ling). Ting-ho sends his forces out repeatedly and each time they fail to capture Chu. Even his top general, Tsao (Leung Kar-yan) and his own son are unable to succeed. But through a fluke, Chu is eventually captured and used as bait by Ting-ho to lure Chi-hong and his remaining brothers.
Ten Brothers of Shaolin rocks from start to finish and gets especially good in the final quarter. The only thing working against the film is the standard Shaolin versus Qing theme that has been covered to death. But a near perfect cast of genre veterans and an increasingly tense story, added to Tommy Leey’s kung fu excellence still makes this classic a must see for any old school fanatic.
