Category: Documentary, Movies
Year: 2001
Director: Nick Morris
Summary:
A spectacular stage performance that features the soldier monks of China's Shaolin Temple, who have been immortalized in countless kung fu films. Revealing their history through a stunning combination of theater and martial arts, the performance also features a thrilling story of jealousy and betrayal that would not be out of place in one of the movies inspired by their heritage. Beautifully filmed and impeccably performed featuring almost superhuman feats of strength and agility, SHAOLIN: WHEEL OF LIFE is essential viewing for martial arts film devotees and a sheer delight for those unfamiliar with the mysterious world of the Shaolin monks
Actors:
very intertaining, had some interesting breaks that as far as i can tell are real. like snapping iron bars over their heads(3 monks do it at once). pretty informative but it is a documentary only.
