SloMo Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 OK, I'll hail someone as the Martial Arts Movie God if they can give me the title to this movie that I saw when I was a kid ( about 25 years ago ) Here's what I remember..... I first saw the movie on TV ( they had a saturday afternoon action theater on TV that showed Kung Fu flicks ) I think it had the word Shoalin in the title... But I could be wrong The basic plot is that some nobody guy want to learn kung fu and gets into this temple where you have to learn one skill at a time before moving on to the next. When he gets there he jumps the gun, goes to room 100 or something like that and the the teacher there throws him out with his mind.. ( I know I know.... ) One of the skills is he has to jump across bundled sticks floating in water. If you fell in you couldn't get food until your clothes dried off. Another is he had to follow a light without moving his head. They placed knives next to his cheeks so that if he moved he would get cut. This goes on.... He wants to leave but the temple doesn't let people go usually so they tell him that if he can beat one of the masters he can go. He tries several times, keeps losing until he invents the 3 sectional staff. OK, so the movie sounds pretty stupid. But I loved this flick when I was a kid and I've been trying to find it for my son to see. If any of this rings a bell with anyone PLEASE let me know! Thanks!!!

kzshin Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Sorry, I have no Idea, however if you really like Shiao Lin temple related story, I think the very first move that Jet Li filmed is about Shiao Lin.
seersin Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 It sounds like 36 chambers/Return to tha 36 chambers.But those don't have Shaolin in tha title. ISAIAH 53:5
SloMo Posted February 11, 2005 Author Posted February 11, 2005 I could very well be wrong about the title. It's been a while! I'll look up the 36 Chambers movie and see if that's it! Thanks! TKD WTF/ITF 2nd Dan"A Black Belt Is A White Belt That Never Quit"
miguksaram Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Another name for that movie is Master Killer and Return of the Master Killer. It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to point at him and laugh
SloMo Posted February 11, 2005 Author Posted February 11, 2005 That's it!!!!!! The full title is: Shaolin Master Killer Wow, thanks everybody! Now, I just have to see if any local stores have it.... TKD WTF/ITF 2nd Dan"A Black Belt Is A White Belt That Never Quit"

miguksaram Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 https://www.hkDVDstore.com They have tons of martial art flicks old and new. Decent prices and good quality. You can check under both 36th Chamber and Master Killer. Also, try Best Buy. That is where I got my copy. It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to point at him and laugh
