‘Shaolin Kung Fu’ is really just a series of weak fight sequences strung together by a paper thin plot.

It’s certainly not perfect and not among Jackie Chan’s best films, but there is ample entertainment value.

‘Snake And Crane Arts Of Shaolin’ starts with a stunning martial arts display by Jackie Chan and ends with one of the most complicated pieces of choreography ever seen on screen.

Kuo lets the odd moment of peculiar editing affect an otherwise slick kung-fu drama; the final twenty minutes in particular seems far too rushed in comparison to the majority of the film.
