Watch Shaolin Wooden Men For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

A Jackie Chan movie is like pizza, even when it's bad it's still pretty good. First the good, it's a standard revenge plot. There's nothing wrong with seeing that for the millionth time. We're here for the martial arts not the story and the martial art does deliver. Even the hokey part fighting the wooden men (which easily could have failed) was done surprisingly well. The movie never dragged and the funny parts were reasonably funny. There was the expected build up to the big fight at the end and the fight finale could have been better but again, that pizza analogy. It could have been better if the antagonist delivered more speed and power in his moves, something which he seemed quite capable of doing. The bad part was making Jackie a mute until the last fight. Whoever's idea that was (did I hear someone mumble Lo Wei?) totally blew it. Really, not that I love to hear his voice or anything and it would have been dubbed by some British guy anyway, but the hero has to say a few syllables. I really think that keeping Jackie silent made the difference between this movie being a miss instead of a hit on it's initial movie theater run. Think of how history would have changed if Jackie came to stardom in 1976 instead of a few years later! The world would be a different place and we all might have our flying cars if Jackie had only spoken up sooner.

Under-rated film featuring a mute Jacky Chan who begins training at a Shaolin monastery. This films best draw-card is it's plot. This is your regular Kung Fu vengeance story but written much more cunningly and cleverly. The typical plot mechanisms are used, but they didn't bother me, and the story held my attention better than most modern movies I see.Jackie's fighting is great, and I particularly enjoyed the training he receives from the Nun(?). Not to mention the inventive and really quite absurd training he gets from the imprisoned man.As like other films of this period, I think that only Kung Fu genre die-hards will really sit through this and feel rewarded. The Wooden Men themselves never seemed as dangerous as the real men in the film - is this some kind of comment on human nature in a Kung Fu film?

Jackie Chan stars in a role that could have been taken by...hmmm...lets say...anyone. This coming of age tale detailing the life of a mute-struck kungfu student and his eccentric teachers, is not as bad but just as weird and predictable as any other kungfu tale.Your basic unlikely hero emerges from his shell to rise to the occasion, type of thing.You're better off with sci-fi on this one folks. Either find a Hong Kong comedy or a nice piece of camp-like "Vixen!"I hope this helps,The Lazy Southerner

This film is really good. This film has Jackie talking mostly at the end. The film has Jackie training from two different teachers. And it pays off at the end. Where Jackie has to fight one of his teachers who turned bad. This film is great for people who liked "Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin" and "Dragon Fist" with Jackie. I find Jackie's old films have the best action packed endings ever seen on tv!!! This film was great to watch because "Wei Lo" like I sad before makes Jackie look good on screen by being the director or Producer of the movie. This film is great to buy or to see. I love to see the training sequence in any Jackie film. So go see it today.
