About Raiders of the Shaolin Temple
The plot centers on Little Lu (Sonny Yu) who tends horses for the local Shaolin temple, and wants to learn skills that will help him defeat some corrupt officials who want to destroy it. He has a couple of friends (one with no arms, the other with no legs) who help him train using some bronze mechanical horses in a secret room in the temple.
Directed by Fang Hao, Raiders of the Shaolin Temple leans on a strong ensemble — Sonny Yue, Pai Ying, Wei Ping-Ao — 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 1982.
