Storyline

Jackie witnesses his father's death by the skilled hands of a martial arts master with an unknown killing technique. Jackie vows to become a Shaolin monk and avenge his death (not very Buddhist of him...), but soon finds that he's the chump of the class. After befriending a variety of shaolin masters, each of whom teach Jackie a particular style of kung fu (drunken, killing, slippery snake, etc.), Jackie suddenly finds himself good enough to go give the beats to the 100 "wooden men" whom all shaolin (in this flick anyways) have to beat to get the funky haircut. Jackie then proceeds to go around laying the beats on everyone, but shows his humility and compassion at the end. Written by <bjones@ideaguys.com>

Trivia

At least three Kill Bill references originate with this film: Pai Mai's introduction scene references the stairway and water training scene; Pai Mai himself though in white in Kill Bill is the blind orange master monk (who in Kill Bill blinds Elle); and, finally, the five point finger exploding hand technique comes from the end battle scene of Shaolin Wooden Men where the villain uses a special punch technique on the protangontists but is only able to deliver 4 of the 5 blows (with the protagonist holding his heart, as Bill does, right before dying).

A Very Good Film!!!!!!
26 June 2001 | by (Toronto,Ontario) – See all my reviews

This film is really good. This film has Jackie talking mostly at the end. The film has Jackie training from two different teachers. And it pays off at the end. Where Jackie has to fight one of his teachers who turned bad. This film is great for people who liked "Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin" and "Dragon Fist" with Jackie. I find Jackie's old films have the best action packed endings ever seen on tv!!! This film was great to watch because "Wei Lo" like I sad before makes Jackie look good on screen by being the director or Producer of the movie. This film is great to buy or to see. I love to see the training sequence in any Jackie film. So go see it today.
