"The 36th Chamber" stands head and shoulders above the rest, and is what all Martial Arts directors should aspire to. Indeed everyone should attempt to snap up any Shaw Brothers movie from around that period. And some of the pain these students go through to perfect their bodies and art is impressive indeed. It is wonderful to see the rigours of training in each 'chamber'. Following the fortunes of a young rebel as he escapes from the tyranny of the government to a Shaolin temple where he hopes to learn superior kung fu techniques, we see his development from an inexperienced boy to an unrivalled master. The Shaw brothers demonstrate their mastery of the martial arts movie in this 1978 classic. After watching this you'll be in no doubt why Tarantino picked the star, Chia Hui Liu, for two parts in his Kill Bill double. This is THE Hong Kong martial arts movie every fan of the genre MUST see.
