Directed by Wong Jing. Starring Jet Li, Damian Lau. REVIEWED By Joey O'Bryan, Fri., Sept. 23, 1994 Iam a big collector of Jet Li movies and always have to get the perfect copy. I originally ordered the 2001 copy listed here. It has a different cover than whats pictured. The video quality is poor and subtitles are burnt on. I then did research and ordered the universe copy of new legend of shaolin which is decent with removable subtitles. The1982 film The Shaolin Temple famously launched the career of martial arts superstar Jet Li. But perhaps less widely known is that it also essentially created Shaolin kung fu as we know it.
