Movie Reviews of Shaolin Wooden Men... Young Tiger's Revenge
Movie Review: Still the best...
Summary: 5 Stars
We are great watchers of Kung Fu films at our house, and for the longest time my husband raved about Shaolin Wooden Men but couldn't find a decent copy of it on DVD. So, when I saw a new, unopened version of it here, I snagged it. And I'm glad I did.
The version that I purchased was distributed by the Bonzai Media Corporation out of Taipei, rather than an American studio, and was completely uncut. It has the opening demonstration footage of the different Kung Fu styles and it does NOT have the funky green colorcast that some of the other reviews mention. In fact, when we finished watching it, my husband commented on how good the picture quality was.
Then, there's the movie. This is the Kung Fu film at its finest. I think a lot of people discredit Jackie Chan's abilities because he's in so many family friendly comedies. Those people need to watch this film to truly see what a martial arts genius he is. Beyond that, the story line is compelling and fits the classic Kung Fu mode (you killed my father/master). It avoids a lot of the visual tricks and sound effects used in other Kung Fu films at the time, and there's no insipid love story to get in the way of Jackie's mission. And the fight scene with the wooden men is just awesome.
The thing about this movie is that so many other films--martial arts and otherwise--make reference to it. After watching it, so many other movies I've seen simply made so much more sense! It would be untrue to say this is the "original" kung fu film, since so many came before it...but I don't think it would be a stretch to say that it is absolutely still one of the best.
