THE 36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN is a straightforward Shaw Brothers kung fu outing, well remembered by many fans. It's not one of my favourite of the studio's films - I always prefer the work of director Chang Cheh, who I think it's tough to beat - but it's easy to see why this is such a beloved movie. Much of the running time consists of elaborate training rituals which as any kung fu fan knows are always entertaining to watch.The film is bookended by a typical revenge storyline which doesn't disappoint and boasts Wilson Tong and Lo Lieh on top form as some hissable villains. Gordon Liu acquits himself very well here as the Yul Brynner lookalike hero and totally convinces throughout his gradual transformation from novice to expert. The early scenes involving water are very funny and the undercurrent of humour which runs throughout the movie makes it likable and an easy watch despite the lengthy running time.As for the fights, well they're above average for the genre which you'd expect when Liu Chia-Liang is handling the choreography. They tend to bookend the movie whereas the training sequences are the most fun and memorable parts, but every bit of on-screen action is handled slickly and beautifully. As is usual for the Shaw Brothers, a colourful palette and sumptuous production values make this an effortless watch throughout.
