| 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 strip 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 English world title is The Iron Fisted Monk. 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.
