The New Legend of Shaolin (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
-
Martial arts superstar Jet Li portrays another legendary Chinese hero in The New Legend of Shaolin, a hyperkinetic kung-fu action film from director Wong Jing! Hung Hei Koon (Jet Li) is a devout Shaolin disciple and enemy of the ruling Manchu regime. When his family is wiped out by a band of malicious imperials, only Hung and his infant son are left. Hung gives the boy a choice: the way of the sword, or a merciful death and freedom from a life of revenge. The boy chooses the sword…and grows into a miniature martial arts dynamo played by pint-sized kung-fu terror Xie Miao! Now sworn enemies of the Ching Dynasty, the pair is drawn into a deadly conflict with a Shaolin traitor, who's out to destroy rebels like Hung! Can Hung and his son restore honor to the Shaolin Temple? Co-starring Chingmy Yau and Deannie Ip, The New Legend of Shaolin is an entertaining Hong Kong film that mixes action, comedy, and righteous heroism in the inimitable Wong Jing style. Featuring action sequences from Corey Yuen, the action director of many excellent Jet Li films, including My Father is a Hero, High Risk, and Fong Sai Yuk!
