Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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

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.
