About The Super Reverend Monk
Green Dragon and White Tiger are two villages that have been fighting for generations. A brutal battle during the Qing Dynasty culminated with the death of White Tiger's Lord and the capture of his pregnant wife that now, according to Green Dragon regulations, must be removed of the fetus which is to be plunged in wine in order to extinguish the bloodline. These plans are interrupted when a monk rescues the wife and takes the child with him to the temple to raise it.
Directed by 姚寿康, The Super Reverend Monk leans on a strong ensemble — Yu Hai, Li Zhenping — 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 action titles of 1990.
