Uusinkatselin, koska viime kerrasta on määrittelemättömän pitkä aika ja muistikuvat olivat hatarat. Gordon Liu on nuori opiskelijapoika, jonka perheen häijy mantsuhallinto tapattaa. Vaivoin hengissä selvinnyt pojankloppi lähtee Shaolinin temppeliin opiskelemaan buddhalaista viisautta ja kung futa. Pitkä ja intensiivinen koulutusjakso on edelleen hienoa seurattavaa. Koulutuksen jälkeen kung fun mestariksi kohonnut Liu lähteekin kostamaan. Taistelukohtaukset eivät"
"One of the main themes often over looked in classic Kung fu is personal transformation. Most have revenge in one form or another as the main motivator but it's the growth and transformation that is important.
Most of this movie isn't all that good really, in my opinion, very slow getting started but without question has the best training or transformation sequence of any in the genre. Gordon Lu shows the personal as well as the physical change better than most and of course his kung fu is impe"

"Pirun hienoja taisteluita, kiva (vaikkei ehkä rajattoman omaperäinen) kostotarina ja vertakin kung fu-elokuvaksi näkyy ihan riittävästi. Ja synnyttihän tämä loppuillaksi melkoisen mättöfiiliksen päälle, siinä sitä tavaraa sitten pitkin kämppää lentelikin.. Pakkohankinta jos dvd-painokseen elämäni aikana vielä satun törmäämään."

Erittäin mainiota Kung Fu-mätkimistä. Taistelukohtaukset on koreografioitu upeasti ja niiden kuvaaminenkin on onnistunutta. Silti ehkä mielenkiintoisinta antia elokuvassa oli päähenkilön suorituminen eräänlaisen koulutuksen läpi missä harjoitettiin eri osa-alueita yksi kerrallaan, esim. pään tai käsien treenaaminen. Jostain syystä virnuilin elokuvassa aina, kun Kung Fu-mestarit joko nyökyttelivät iloisena päitään tai vastaavasti pudistelivat päitään yrmy naamall"

Monks try to jump across a pool of water by tiptoeing over floating branches. Then they try to carry buckets of water like a balancing circus act. Then their mental faculties are tested to the extreme.
Welcome to Shaolin boot camp.
“36th Chamber of Shaolin” is one of the Shaw Brothers most enjoyable movie simply because it has everything. Plenty of action, comedy, drama, fun caricatured characters and of course, that entertaining part where the bald-headed shaolin trainees train. "
