This movie/documentary is the Shaolin Monks own account of one of the most cinematically repeated events in history, the destruction of the Shaolin Temple. There have been dozens if not hundreds of films, both accurate and wildly inaccurate, about the events leading up to the destruction and creation of the 'five ancestors'
Though this had the potential to become the definitive show about Shaolin, it is let down by horrible editing and the addition of slow motion to further create a sense and feel of otherworldliness the movement and style of the monks possess. The stage show itself is absolutely spectacular, and is a must see. This documentary style rendition of the show however leaves much to be desired.
4/10
