THE HEROES (aka STORY OF CHIVALRY, 1980) offers an intriguing variation on the Shaolin theme, starting with the familiar account of the burning of Shaolin Temple and the repression of Shaolin kung fu by the Manchurian-backed Qing rulers. Here the focus is on a former Shaolin man, Marshal Kao (Ti Lung), who takes his former classmates prisoner and, instead of executing them, proposes to his Qing commander that he torture them and break their spirits until they're willing to fight on behalf of the Qings. The 'torture' comes to look increasingly like strenuous kung fu training with Kao putting the prisoners through their paces. The Qing governor (Michael Chan Wai Man) and his aides become suspicious of Kao's motives, although the beautiful Princess Shao Lung (Shih Szu) develops her own ideas about him. Interspersed within the story are flashbacks to Kao's training at Shaolin.

To me this is one of the greatest gung fu films i have seen, not because of the action or wing chun used in this film but because of the story and content of martial conflict/moral, I showed this film to my culinary arts teacher in 2002, we both agreed that this is indeed a moving film even if one has no interest in the martials arts.

My favorite martical arts movie!  We had it on VHS when I was a kid and we would watch it over and over. It's got action and pulls at your emotions.
