Not a new thing if a movie is successful in the past was re-released. By adding new things, good packaging, actors, settings, or the scene better than ever. So is the movie Shaolin this. In the 1980s, this movie got a pretty good response from movie lovers. Although the Asian continent, but the film also received a warm welcome from Europe and America. This positive impact on the careers of actors involved in it. Jet Li as the main character in this film received much praise and appreciation. In subsequent career, Jet Li finally gets a lot of similar roles in many movies.
Currently starring Jet Li, Shaolin is a lot of movies are shown fighting scenes and fierce fight between the monks and Chinese troops are arrogant. No doubt the ability of Jet Li in a scene, a qualified martial arts and is supported by a sophisticated cinematography make this film very satisfactory.
In the re-release this time, the director, Benny Chan, Jet Li is no longer used as the main role. He prefers to Andy Lau as the central figure, in addition there is Jackie Chan and Nicholas Tse. So is the scene that is displayed. In the new film is more widely displayed scenes drama dialogue and reduce the fighting scenes. Here the quality of actors at stake. Andy Lau also serves pretty good when I had to switch to change the character and expression throughout the film.
This film in the early 20th century, where a warlord named Hou Jie (Andy Lau) have never thought about the people and always be selfish, arrogant and conceited. He was very fond of war and buried treasure. He was not afraid to go to the Shaolin temple and disturb the peace there, while pursuing the enemy.
