36th Chamber of Shaolin
Chia- Liang Liu, 1978 115m
Widely acknowledged as one of the best martial art films ever made, The 36th Chamber of Shaolin introduced Gordon Liu (Kill Bill) to the world. Liu plays Lin Yu Te, a fugitive from the Manchu army. He takes refuge at the Shaolin temple and becomes the first adult outsider ever accepted as a monk. He is renamed San Tu and begins to learn Kung Fu in order to fight the Manchus. He begins at the lowest level, the thirty-fifth chamber, struggling through task after grueling task to ascend to the final chamber. Along the way he must defeat an officer of justice with his butterfly knives and create the legendary three section staff method. And he has still to face a greater challenge: in order to defeat the Manchus, San must create the 36th chamber, a training camp for laymen, to create the ultimate rebel army. 35mm
ring me before 3 or after 5 if you're intrested...
