Director Lau Kar-Leung returns to the 36th Chamber of Shaolin with Disciples of the 36th Chamber, a fun romp that shows what happens when an irreverent soul who doesn't think he needs any more training comes to the temple. That soul is Chinese folk hero Fong Sai-Yuk (from Jet Li's The Legend), here played by Hsiao Hou, up against Gordon Liu's famous monk San Te, and a whole horde of Manchus. Though some of the slapstick is a bit over the top, I'm once again impressed at Lau Kar-Leung's inventiveness, both in the fights and in the general camera work and story.Good fun and one of my favorite Shaw Brothers final freeze frames ever. 8 years 7 months ago
