This iconic historical epic, directed by Chang Cheh, delivers the soulfulness of its A-list ensemble cast that uplifts the characters and layers the rising tensions of the period to deliver one of the prolific director’s best films. By the time its heart-pounding and action-packed finale explodes on the screen, you’ll want to join the Shaolin resistance in all of its glory.
