Storyline
Fong Sai Yuk's uninhibited arrogance toward a Manchu lord forces him to seek refuge in a Shaolin temple. Although abundantly trained in the martial arts, he is no match for Master San Te, the creator of the 36th Chamber of Shaolin, who constantly overpowers his younger, more agile disciples in matters of both body and mind. Exhausted by his frequent defeats, Fong seeks to escape his prison and crosses paths with a governor, who rewards him with a yellow robe granting immunity from any Manchu. But what are the governor's true intentions? Will Fong feed his foolish ego and betray the Shaolin Temple? Written by King-Wei Chu for Fantasia Film Festival

I apologize for being so negative, but how we got from the original first film to this is just saddening. The films plot is as boring as it is needlessly chaotic, with Gordan Liu returning from the second film (though NOT as who he was playing as before, which in turn was NOT the character he played in the first film). Instead he returns as San Te from the first film and not Jen Chieh, though they somehow downgrade his character from the first, and he isnt as nearly as interesting as the San Te from the first, or even Jen Chieh from the second for that matter. Instead, the new protagonist is Fong-Sai Yuk, an annoying brat but talented martial artist who can't stop showing off how amazing he is. If anyone found Jen Chieh from the second film annoying then Fong-Sai Yuk will be deemed insufferable. His character completely destroys the formula of the warriors journey and as a result I simply found no enjoyment in watching a character begin a story and end it just as powerful and skilled as he was before.
If people disagree with me and enjoy this film then by no means dont pay me any mind, but the original in my opinion is beyond the superior film, and by some extent, the second too.
