Well, it's cold here in TN with this snow. I think it’s time to get some straight-up kung fu action.
Today, I’ll be looking at the 36th Chamber of Shaolin trilogy done by Shaw Brothers Studio. The movies all
involved the legendary monk, San Te. The
star of these movies is martial artist Gordon Liu. While he was already in
movies like these, it’s the 36th Chamber that people will remember him
for the most. I first saw snippets of his movies on this video that talked
about martial artists a long time ago.
I first heard about the original years ago. When I found
it at f.y.e., I bought it. It was a while before I saw it though. Over the last
few months, I’ve noticed that Netflix has put on different kung fu-related
movies. I saw that the latter two movies were on there, so I decided to give
them a watch. There are some other Shaw Bros. movies that I saw on Netflix that aren’t related
to the 36th Chamber. I’ll get to those some other time this week. By
the way, I watched them all undubbed. I think this is my go-to thing with
foreign movies since most old-school dubbing is pretty terrible.
