There is no more holy place in the world of martial arts than China's Shaolin Temple. This special place deserves a special epic, and that's what the martial arts master gives us in this battle between a brave group of Chinese boxers and thousands of Ching troops, complete with betrayals, plots, and such unique fighting machines as 108 wooden robots. As the monks struggle to stay alive in the face of overwhelming odds, the conflicts get more complicated, more intense, and even more suspenseful.
