Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Leofwine_draca DRAGON FROM SHAOLIN is a wacky South Korean variant on the usual Hong Kong and Taiwanese kung fu staples. It's a film heavily influenced by the wuxia genre of film-making, with the basic laws of physics often broken for scenes of the actors performing larger-than-life leaps and jumps and generally flying around the screen during the many frenetic action sequences that the film contains.The plot is a fast-paced jumble of the usual themes and events: betrayals, allies and enemies, ambushes and refuges from the bad guys. The heroes are a nondescript bunch and the budget is pretty low, so don't go in expecting finesse or realism; instead this is a cheese fest throughout, with even an attack by a random squad of brightly-coloured ninjas at one point. My favourite moment is the bit where the hero gets mired in a pool of tar and attacked by a squad of guys using flying guillotines, which here look like circular saws, complete with sound effects. It's the hilarious highlight of an otherwise obscure and oddly entertaining little movie.
