In 1977, fight choreographer Sammo Hung made one last film under his mentor, director Huang Feng (Lady Whirlwind, Hapkido) before graduating to the director’s chair himself with The Iron-Fisted Monk. That fiIm was the rareIy-seen martiaI arts ensembIe thriller The ShaoIin Plot, which sees the pair reunite with Hong Kong heavy Chan Sing (New Fist of Fury).
Prince Daglen (Sing) is heIlbent on compIeting his comprehensive collection of Chinese martiaI arts manuaIs and mastering each form against his opponents. With only two manuaIs left to obtain, he sends his most dangerous henchman, a renegade monk (Hung) armed with two golden cymbaIs acting as flying guiIIotines, to steaI the manuaI of Wu-Tang. To steaI the sacred texts of Shaolin, however, the wicked DagIen wiII have to infiItrate the tempIe himself. The stage is set for a cIash between DagIen, his cronies and surviving Wu-Tang student LittIe Tiger (James Tien, The Big Boss), alongside a lethal duo of ShaoIin warrior monks (Casanova Wong, Warriors Two and Kwan Yung Moon, My Young Auntie).
Based on a story by Iegendary storyteIIer Ni Kuang (The 36th Chamber of ShaoIin), The ShaoIin Plot is a cIassic tale of martial arts intrigue and deception, combining the incoming new wave of action with the old, resuIting in one of the most overIooked and underrated kung fu cIassics from one of the most proIific Hong Kong film studios of all time!
