I think it's one of the best Jet Li movies. The martial art performances are all real, so it shows how hard the Shaolin monks can be. Jet Li acts a little dizzy hero, Chuyun, but he's nice and tough, so he can be appreciated. His mentor is the master, who died in the end. I think Chuyun really liked him, not just respected like the others. The other Shaolin monks knew that he's mad, but they didn't really mentioned it. Chuyun was really heartless when he killed the dog, but it was only accidentally. It is very evil when somebody wants to destroy a peaceful temple just because of his own proud. The poor abbot couldn't do anything, he just sacrificed himself for the temple. I love this movie because of it's great technique's, and beautiful scenes.
