Overview: A young boy (Jet Li) escaping from a slave camp is taken in by the monks of the Shaolin Temple.

In the process of fighting the general's troops, they save the true emperor, who rewards them greatly.
This was Jet's first big film, and the first of three Shao Lin pictures. All three feature incredible no-flying-people (i.e. the Kung Fu is real and performed without the use of wires). This film is from mainland China.
