Audience Member Mei-Chun Chang made another 3D kung fu movie we covered, Dynasty, so we were super excited to get this movie, also known as 13 Golden Nuns. Thirteen women are ravaged by bandits and the rules of the time state that they must go to a convent. What the rules did not state was that they would spend their time there studying the martial arts and gaining all of the skills that they would need to murder those that did them wrong. I mean, take it from the film itself: "In 18th century China, bandit hordes roamed the provinces pillaging and plundering villages. Whole villages were decimated. Men, women and children slaughtered and the women raped.According to the social customs of the times, the rape victims, because they were no longer virgins, were sent to convents. Under the austere and knowledgeable presence of the Head Shogun Nun, these girls were taught the Revelations of the Budha and mastered the techniques of the martial arts. They became Shogun women capable of defending themselves and others from the bandit marauders." Look, someone gets scalped in 3D. I think that's worth more than the price of this blu ray. There's some wedding drama — a young woman is marrying an old doctor because the only way he can do acupuncture on her breast is to marry her so it's not inappropriate and the artist who loves her calls in the bandits because, well, it's a kung fu movie. The real reason to watch this is to see arrows come out of the screen. The Kino Lorber blu ray has both BD3D polarized and anaglyphic (red/cyan) 3-D versions. You even get a pair of anaglyphic 3-D glasses to watch the movie with. There are three extra 3-D shorts: College Capers, Persian Slave Market and Two Guys from Tick Ridge. You can order it from Kino Lorber. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
