About The Shaolin Kids
Lui is a powerful ex-minister who opposes the ambitious premier Hu Wei Yen. Lui is assassinated, so his daughter Lui Sin and an assorted band of people loyal to the emperor seeks revenge and justice. The premier made a mistake - he allowed a scroll of battle orders to fall into loyalist hands. Lui and Co learn this, and vow to take this proof of treason to the emperor.
Directed by Joseph Kuo, The Shaolin Kids leans on a strong ensemble — Polly Shang-Kuan Ling-Feng, Tien Peng, Carter Huang Chia-Ta — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1975.
