The Movie


Liu Chia-Hui plays a patriotic youth whose father and friends are killed by Manchu soldiers. 

Intent on revenge, he enters the Shaolin Monastery to learn marital arts. Each of Shaolin's 35 chambers contain a different type of martial arts technique or exercise which the youth must master before progressing to the next. 

After mastering all 35 chambers, Lau's character asks for permission to establish a 36th Chamber of Shaolin and become its teacher.

My Thoughts Movie Ratings
When it comes to 70s kung-fu films, few equal The 36th Chamber OF Shaolin.  It's got a great story, amazing Shaolin training scenes, a superb star, and insane fight sequences.
