| Macho fun and violence is promised on this cool poster for Sammo Hung's The Iron-Fisted Monk |
A younger student in a Shaolin temple, who receives training from a similarly aged monk, is introduced to the fight against the evil Manchu rulers.
The Iron-Fisted Monk is written by Pro Hung Ching, Feng Huang (Xue fu men (1971)) and Yu Ting (Project A 2/'A' gai wak 2 (1987)) and directed and starring debuting Sammo Hung (The Victim/Shen bu you ji (1980)). The original Chinese title translates to, 'the three virtuous monks and the broken rice'.
Hung's debut is not his best film but still quite good. A grim rape scene is included in the film. The story is classical and forgettable, but the fight scenes are good.
