dafrosts The fight scenes are often vicious to the point of Grotesque. There are children in overabundance in this movie, but it is NOT, NOT a kid's movie. The Nine Devils want to spring their boss from prison and rob a Gold train. Unfortunately, a village of poor people with a high population of teenagers and children, stands in their way. So, what's a group of thugs to do, but kill everyone in the village and burn it to the ground. Luckily, the teens and kids are on the outskirts of town watching one teen try to use his Kung Fu to take down a cow. Yup, a cow. When they sees the smoke from the village, they go to investigate.I cannot take the Nine Devils seriously in the costumes and hairstyles they have. There's a Jin-ish Goon who has a head as a hard as a brick and performs a head butt that has to be rewound and watched at least twice to verify you saw what you saw. Another is wearing pigtails while carrying an oversized Chupa Chup. A third resembles a 1980's WWE Tag Team partner. A Caveman is carrying a stick reminiscent of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's TWD Barbed Wire Baseball Bat. A fourth has Armored sleeves with Kabuki Mask shoulders and Leather studded mittens. A fifth, I kid you not,is running around in pink striped jammies. Yeah, I said Pink striped Jammies. The only "Normal" looking one is wearing an eye patch and a jumper resembling those seen at martial arts competitions.The kids are chased into the woods by two of the Nine Devils, where a Shaolin Abbott and his pupil intervene. Another fight scene occurs where the Abbott, in between "Buddha be Blessed" announcements, kicks some ass and sends the Devils fleeing. I love how the Shaolin kick butt then say "Buddha Be Blessed/Praised". The Abbott and his pupil take the kids further into the hills for protection.The Nine Devils move on to break their boss "Golden Tiger" out of the prison transport coming toward the village. I would never want these prison guards watching any prisoner. They are too easily beaten. Golden Tiger busts out of the cage like he's in a wet paper bag. Seriously, if it was that easy for him to break out, why didn't he do it sooner? The guards were easy to subdue.The Abbott has a friend from Japan coming to meet him. They are going to trade techniques to make both of their Kung Fu styles stronger. The man has brought his two sons with him to teach them about other cultures. Unfortunately, since the Abbott has taken the village kids into the hills, he has to send someone to get his friend. The Japanese encounter the Nine Devils and only the boys survive. They become part of the group protected by the Abbott.The style of Kung Fu the Abbott decides the Teens and children need to learn is Not Called Chastity Kung Fu. That wording no doubt comes from whomever misunderstood the original dialogue during remarketing for the English language countries. The style the adolescents learn is a combo Gymnastics-Kung Fu that would make any Chinese Circus or Cirque Du Soleil proud.The Abbott suddenly announces he's ill and, of course, dying, which leaves training the adolescents to the younger priest, who's very leery about the prospects. When the youngest Japanese boy becomes ill, the Senior Teen and the boy's brother venture back into town to get herbs for healing. They encounter the Nine Devils and Golden Dragon. The Japanese Teen escapes while the Senior Teen remains behind to ensure his escape. The Senior Teen is used to bring the Abbott out of hiding. It works, however, Golden Tiger and his Crue have to work as a unit to kill him.The Adolescents and their new Teacher work harder to become a unit to destroy Golden Dragon and the Nine Devils. The last twenty-five minutes of the film is devoted to eliminating the Devils and their boss one by one. Pajama Man, Jin, Golden Tiger and another Devil are involved in one on one matches, while the others each encounter the Adolescents working as teams. The fights are a tad gruesome as normal matches go. The group fights reminded me of Children of the Corn chasing Adults through the corn fields.The final battle starts with Golden Tiger taking on the Senior Teen. It soon becomes a Battle Royale, as the other Adolescents and their Teacher join him when they finish their fights. There's a moment of singing, which is a tad creepy and again, Children of the Cornesque. Golden Tiger issues that annoying maniacal laughter the bad guys always use. He doesn't laugh for long.The conclusion is the Adolescents kneeling outside the Shaolin Temple awaiting a response from the Main Abbott. Their Teacher appears and announces none of them will be accepted as Priests or Nuns as someone needs to go back to the village and rebuild. The two eldest male teens are instructed to marry the two eldest female teens to continue the population of the village.Hmm, an entire town run only by teens and little kids. No Adult supervision whatsoever. What could possibly go wrong? I would have given it a higher number but the fights were far too gruesome and the Nine Devils were simply too comical to be taken seriously.

bbriggs-3 I rented this movie because I thought that since the wu tang clan recommended it that it would be good. I was very wrong. Shaolin Chastity Kung Fu turns out to be an INCREDIBLY cheesy children's movie with a few good fight scenes, a lot of annoying characters and some shamefully misplaced scenes of brutal violence! The story is about a bunch of kids whose village is destroyed by a gang of villains and then the children meet some shaolin monks who protect the kids and teach them kung fu so they can defend themselves from the villains. The plot is somewhat original for a kung fu film and the children (who age from about 8 to 20) have some impressive acrobatic skills. Another thing this movie has going for it is that it has a refreshingly good natured feel to it. The monks teach the children to be good and tolerant and accept people of different cultures. there's even some main characters who are Japanese and they are portrayed as honorable people! If you watch a lot of Chinese kung fu films you know how rare this is! Even though i like the above mentioned aspects of the movie, overall it's just way too cheesy for my taste. I almost want to recommend this movie for family viewing but unfortunately even though 95 percent of the movie is a harmless child oriented action comedy there's a bunch of scenes filled with R rated violence. There's a part where a guy gets cut in half, a scene where a monk has his head crushed with a giant rock, a scene where two of the older kids crush a man's head with their bare hands with blood SPRAYING out of his head!, there's even a disturbing scene where a bunch of laughing nine year olds beat a man to a bloody death with bamboo sticks!! What the hell were they thinking? Anyway to end on a happy note the director of this film along with the fabulous Alexander Lou went on to direct one of my favorite ninja movies of all time: MAFIA VS. NINJA!!! If you were disappointed with this one Mafia vs. Ninja will totally cheer you up!

BG_OG A guy gets broken in half by a head butt and there's a lot of action,the acting is good and the plot is enjoyable,i recommend this film,also the DVD has an awesome wu tang music video to go with it. There's a lot of really exctiting fights in this,the action doesn't really let up at all. I think Robert Tai did a good directing job and i'd like to see more of him. Alexander Lo Rei is a very good fighter and i'm sure anyone who has seen this film has looked him up to see more of his work.

dr-worm First off, let me say I have been exposed to some pretty horrific kung fu films, and while this is certainly not the worst I've seen, it's pretty god-awful.Secondly, this movie was released mainstream under the banner of the Wu-Tang Clan, who give an introduction at the beginning of the DVD. Now I've never really been a fan of the group but I must say I enjoyed hearing their intro, primarily because it was completely incomprehensible. Whenever you can understand what the guys are actually saying, the words themselves do not make any sense whatsoever; this may be due to the fact that they are introducing the wrong movie; one of the clan-members is actually talking about a movie called Mystery of Chess Boxing. WTF?As far as the movie goes, it's pretty bad. There are some neat action sequences (particularly a guy who does a lethal head-butt, sending the two halves of a poor villager flying in opposite direction) but it's mostly a bunch of kids doing acrobatics in a field. Watch this movie for the horrible dubbing and the head-butt guy.
