Disciples Of Shaolin

About This Movie

So, 'Disciples Of Shaolin' is a curious blend of action and comedy from '85. You've got Cheng, who runs off from an arranged marriage to join a temple, seeking wisdom and martial arts. But here's the kicker—his master, Hung Duk, just has them doing chores. It’s a bit of a letdown for Cheng and his crew who are itching for some Kung Fu action. There's this character called The Rover, a Kung Fu enthusiast who really highlights their lack of skills. The pacing is all over the place, but the atmosphere has this light-hearted feel that makes it fun. The practical effects are decent for the time, and the performances have this earnest charm that keeps you engaged, even if it doesn’t fully deliver on the action front.
