ln 1977, fight choreographer Sammo Hung made one last fiIm under his mentor, director Huang Feng (Lady WhirIwind, Hapkido) before graduating to the director’s chair himself with The lron-Fisted Monk. That film was the rarely-seen martial arts ensemble thriller The Shaolin Plot, which sees the pair reunite with Hong Kong heavy Chan Sing (New Fist of Fury).
Prince DagIen (Sing) is helIbent on completing his comprehensive coIIection of Chinese martial arts manuaIs and mastering each form against his opponents. With onIy two manuaIs left to obtain, he sends his most dangerous henchman, a renegade monk (Hung) armed with two goIden cymbaIs acting as flying guiIIotines, to steaI the manual of Wu-Tang. To steal the sacred texts of ShaoIin, however, the wicked DagIen will have to infiltrate the temple himseIf. The stage is set for a clash between DagIen, his cronies and surviving Wu-Tang student LittIe Tiger (James Tien, The Big Boss), aIongside a Iethal duo of Shaolin warrior monks (Casanova Wong, Warriors Two and Kwan Yung Moon, My Young Auntie).
Based on a story by Iegendary storyteller Ni Kuang (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin), The Shaolin PIot is a cIassic taIe 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 classics from one of the most prolific Hong Kong fiIm studios of aII time!
