. A movie by Yuen Wo Ping. Buddhist Fist is one of his earlier films, way before the days of The Matrix. The fight scenes are done really well. The last fight in particular was incredible. Another great fight is between the main character and the man with one little foot. It felt like a scene right out of a Jackie Chan movie with all the awesome stunt work and choreography involved. The one thing this movie could have done without was the fight with the guy with a hunchback. The scene was ridiculous and out of place. But other than that this is a solid movie. The story will keep you hooked even though it's easy to figure out who the killer was before he revealed himself. Buddhist Fist is a good flick any way you look at it.

. The story is about two young orphans who were both taught martial arts by Shaolin monks. The boy who lived with the monks was taught the art of the Buddhist palm, and the other was taught the Buddhist fist. Years later one of the two brothers worked at a barber shop, but after a fight and the shop are destroyed, he is fired. He decided to return home, only to find his father has been missing for 2 months. While looking for his father he runs into his monk friend from his childhood, but he too has not heard from his father. He agrees to visit the Shaolin temple, but decides to leave in order to find his father. But during the night a masked bandit attacks him. The bandit is able to escape. The masked man has a partner that seems to be a masked monk. The masked monk is being blackmailed by the other masked man. The monk was set up by the man for rape and murder so he must do everything he says or he will be exposed. The masked bandit doesn't like the fact that the young man is snooping around and sends numerous killers after him. But he learns from a friend of his fathers that there are thieves trying to steal religious artifacts like the jade Buddha at the Shaolin temple. He also finds out that the man behind it all has one big foot and one little foot. His father's friend ends up getting killed by the man with the little and big foot but not before he tells the young man his killers identity. The young man finally finds his father but he is badly injured and crippled. His father informs him that the monk was the one that attacked and crippled him. But soon after the man with the little and big foot shows up and reveals his identity and that he was the master mind behind it all. After an intense fight the young man kills him and seeks out his old master. But when he finds him, he learns that his childhood friend was really the one involved in his fathers disappearance. The young man is able to set up his friend and has him reveal that he is in fact the one who crippled his father. The young man tries to get his old friend to change his ways, but he refuses. They battle and it's evident that the monk is stronger than the young man. But he throws the fight and ends up dying.
