Featured review

or Shaolin's Magnificent Disciple

"Shaolin's Magnificent Disciple" appears on the film's title screen.

Carter assassinates the Manchu prince and escapes to the Martial Inn, not the Chivalrous Inn as in the title but the same place. Room class is assigned according to martial skills and Carter earns himself a first class room. A suspicious character follows him and also rates first class. Chang Yi in his white eyebrows makeup is the leader of Martial Inn. Suspicious guy hooks up with Chia Ling. Carter and another patriot are attacked outside and Crazy Doris rescues him and takes him to Cloud Valley to heal up. Four patriots are killed at the inn. The plan is to retreat and set up in Cloud Valley. The plot twists are revealed.

My copy is a digital file that plays on a HDTV as mostly wide screen with hard subtitles in Arabic and English and dubbing In English. This video seems to have been put together from a worn out film reel spliced with a Chinese subtitles only copy. The English dubbing also cuts out when the Chinese copy is spliced in. Even the best quality video parts are hard on the eyes on the HDTV. I know of no better source than the one I have.

The action is simple stuff with no creativity and nothing to distinguish one fight from the next except for the use of a booby trap in the short final fight. Just average stuff for a rating of 5 out of 10.
