Zhang men ren

now, with most martial arts films before the mid 90's i suspend all deep criticism of plot, acting, and all that other stuff. for what it is i feel this is a highly entertaining film. but you can't go wrong with this director for some great action choreography. it is such a creative piece that is always surprising the viewer with different styles / props / situations for martial arts. also, if you're an avid martial arts fan you'll recognize a lot of faces from a number of interesting shaw brother films (sorry, bad with the names...the disciple from "mad monkey kung fu", the disciple from "36th chamber of shaolin", the disciple from the "masters of shaolin").
