      Audience Member My mom is giving birth again! There are two rival martial arts groups that live on separate sides of a river, the Shaolin and Wu Tang clans. The Shaolin are plagued with all sons while the Wu Tang are plagued with having all girls. A duel will take place to remedy their concerns and have one martial arts ruler. "A man over forty gets old quickly." Chang Hsin-Yen, director of The Shaolin Temple, Yellow River Fighter, Treasure Island, and Tai Chi II, delivers Shaolin Temple II: Shaolin Kids. The storyline for this picture is entertaining in a fun and comedic kind of way. The martial arts are excellent and display a top of his game young Jet Li. "The loser must call the winner teacher." These were added to Netflix not too long ago and I had to add them to my wish list. I really enjoy these old Jet Li movies and feel they're high quality pictures. This isn't Li's best work, but it is funny and well executed. The martial arts are also pretty good. I recommend seeing this if you're a fan of the genre. "Dad is a bastard." Grade: B- Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Though prone to the occasional violent outburst "Kids from Shaolin" is the kinder, gentler mid-section to Jet Li's "Shaolin" trilogy featuring a cast of predominately pint-sized players in this Chinese funded Hatfield & McCoy wu shu comedy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A massive improvement over the first Shaolin Temple movie. It's lighter in tone, with some nice family dynamics and relationships. The fight scenes are all saved for the final brawl, in which both rivaling families take on some marauders. Jet Li kicks some ass with a three-sectioned staff, and it has a good storyline with humour and action. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Young Jet Li, in a funny role. The singing part, well hmm.. but still. Watched one with dubbing on youtube.com/movies so might not be as good as the original, but for me still enjoyable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is defently a Secret Treasure a Beautiful Tale about Two Rivaling Clans who live on different Sides of the Yellow River the One Clan fights Shaolin Gung Fu and has only Sons the others Wu Tang a Sword Style and have only Daugthers the Boys do everything to get married to the Daugthers of the Sword Master and want to learn his Style but he mistrust them but they must fight together against a Bandit Gang who killed lot of the Family Members of the Shaolin Clan 10 Years before. It's a Perfect Mixture of a Beautiful Tale of Rivaling Clans with High Skilled Martial Arts who are only presented by Real Time Championship Figthers and lot of Humour and goes to the Heart and also contains lot of Socio-Critism on Chinas Patrichal Society, One child Politic and Machoism. The Father want to sell his own Daugthers for Cows instead let marry the Boys they want to in the First Place and the Barbarians didn't have fucked for Years and their Only Chance to get laid is to attack the Wu Tang Clan. Jet Li is great in his Debut. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member fantastic movie, absolutely loved this, the final fight scene is awesome Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
