Ting Chao

Malgré la résistance nationale, les Mandchouriens ont pris le contrôle de la Chine, mais l'empereur Ching craint que les disciples du temple Shaolin ne renversent la dynastie. Il se déguise donc en disciple, afin de devenir un maître de kung-fu et de contrôler les moines Shaolin. Mais selon la coutume, il doit passer le test des légendaires 18 hommes de Bronzes avant de pouvoir quitter le Temple...

En pleine période de famine, un convoi de blé est pillé. Lin, suspect principal, est mis en prison. Alors qu'il tente de s'évader, il est aidé par un mystérieux combattant expert en arts martiaux, Hsioa Yu Ting. Se liant d'amitié avec lui, Lin se rend compte qu'il n'est peut-être pas celui qu'il prétend être...

Ton Chard is a vicious murderer, who terrifies people with his crimes. He is protected by his father, the powerful Shi Fong, ruler of the district. Su Ma offers herself to seek and arrest the criminal. Once done that, she has to take him to the law court where he will be judged. But Shi Fong will do everything to stop her.

The Emperor is under attack by marauders and he is so depressed with his failure to protect his people, that he sees no other option than to kill himself. In his grief, he also decides to maim his daughter by cutting of her arm (there is a long tradition of one armed fighters in Hong Kong cinema). After being maimed, the Princess wanders around trying to enlist help from anyone who will listen to her, but no matter whom she meets they either prove too weak to fight off the marauders or they wind up betraying her. Things take a turn for the surreal when her faithful servant girl cuts off her own arm to impersonate the Princess and dies. The Princess goes crazy until she meets handsome Carter Wong, the gentle brute of a butcher who is caring for his Buddhist nun mother. He promises his mom on her death bed he will marry the now lunatic princess. Serious kicking ensues, including sword wielding women, and some high kicking action from Mr. Carter Wong. Enjoy!

Turmoil outside the walls of the temple lead Cliff Lok to go there and find the answers to save his country from the Manchus. Nothing could prepare him for the tests and trials he will face inside the walls of Shaolin: martial monks, hidden chambers, and the 18 Bronzemen.
