Burning Paradise (1994)
Reviewed by: hkcinema on 1999-12-08
The Shaolin Temple wants to get rid of the evil Ching government. The government gets wind of this and destroys the Shaolin Temple and then hunts down the remaining Shaolin monks. Fong Sai Yuk (Willie Chi) and his uncle Maser Chi Nun run into Tou Tou (Carmen Lee) who has run away from being a prostitute- she was sold into it by her family). Unfortunately, Crimson, one of Elder Kung's henchmen captures Fong and Tou and kills his uncle. They are taken to the Red Lotus Temple where Elder Kung rules and where no one can escape from the numerous traps. From there Fong tries to liberate the other monks and to destroy the Red Lotus Temple. This is a great flick with tons of good kung fu (and its not too heavy on the wire works either). The actor who plays Elder Kung is great-you really will believe has totally lost his mind. Highly Recommended.

(3.5/4)
