This is a kung fu classic and up there with Enter The Dragon for me, the story is incredibly creative and also the chambers are all unique and actually makes you think. I'm glad this film is getting more respect with age because it deserves it and needs to be seen by more people. Also, we need to give Gordon Liu Chia-Hui (Lin Yu-De) his flowers now because he changed the Kung Fu film game forever with this film because he really is great in this film and deserves a lot more respect than he gets. Just remember SUBS OVER DUBS!!!!!!!!!

Hands down, the best martial arts film ever to come out of the Shaw Brothers studios. Granted, I haven't seen them all, but The 36th Chamber of Shaolin is so good, I can't imagine anything else that I haven't heard of is better than this. The training sequences are of course the highlight of the film, but the story also works rather well. I can't recommend this one enough.

As a kid I loved this movie. Watched it countless times. Good ol' VHS tapes magic. I was positively surprised that after rewatching in 2018 it is still very solid kung-fu flick. One might say even... legendary.

"I should have learned Kung-fu instead of ethics."

This is why I love Kung Fu movies. Our hero has no chance at the beginning to even begin to fight the bad guy, proceeds with training and in the end is strong enough to beat the bad guy. It's simple, it's entertaining, it is what I enjoy.

Alternately known as The Master Killer and Shaolin Master Killer...
This is the film to watch if you would like to watch classical martial arts weapons put in action by professional martial artists, not mere actors. Master Killer contains one of the longest and most impressive martial arts training More
