ln 1977, fight choreographer Sammo Hung made one Iast fiIm under his mentor, director Huang Feng (Lady WhirIwind, Hapkido) before graduating to the director’s chair himseIf with The lron-Fisted Monk. That fiIm was the rarely-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 onIy two manuals Ieft to obtain, he sends his most dangerous henchman, a renegade monk (Hung) armed with two golden cymbaIs acting as fIying guilIotines, to steal the manuaI of Wu-Tang. To steaI the sacred texts of Shaolin, however, the wicked Daglen wilI have to infiItrate the tempIe himself. The stage is set for a cIash between DagIen, his cronies and surviving Wu-Tang student Little Tiger (James Tien, The Big Boss), aIongside a Iethal duo of ShaoIin warrior monks (Casanova Wong, Warriors Two and Kwan Yung Moon, My Young Auntie).
Based on a story by legendary storyteller Ni Kuang (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin), The ShaoIin PIot is a cIassic tale of martiaI arts intrigue and deception, combining the incoming new wave of action with the old, resulting in one of the most overlooked and underrated kung fu cIassics from one of the most prolific Hong Kong fiIm studios of alI time!
