Well Go USA presents Shaolin (aka The New Shaolin Temple), a 2011 martial arts film directed by Benny Chan (New Police Story), starring Andy Lau (Fulltime Killer), Nicholas Tse (Stool Pigeons), Wu Jing (SPL: Sha Po Lang), Xing Yu (Ip Man), and Fan Bingbing (Bodyguards and Assassins), with a special appearance by Jackie Chan (Rush Hour 1-3).

It will be available on Blu-ray and DVD, with each format having a standard and Collector’s Edition set.

Nice! it actually looks pretty good. might give this a shot!

madlost1 · 08-09-2011, 11:57 PM

Hell yes I seen the trailer for this a while back. Pre-ordered.

The Dragon · 08-20-2011, 09:44 PM

This is an absolute MUST-SEE!!

DeeEmEcks · 08-21-2011, 04:07 AM

Glad to see this is getting a US release, it was def a solid flick. I will def grab it when it's out.

Si1entElegy · 08-21-2011, 04:17 AM

Will both versions have slipcovers like Ip Man 2? I much prefer the standard cover to the collector's edition...

No it was not, it is a Hong Kong film, which never make it to theatres (maybe small indie theaters) but is a great film. I own the HK edition that includes 7.1 sound.

Dragon Lee · 10-10-2011, 08:48 PM

I think they played it in some of the bigger cities like LA, NY, DC. However, not Minneapolis so shame on u Well Go USA!!!

Piollo · 10-11-2011, 02:27 AM

Will be getting the CE, looks better I think

hidef al · 10-11-2011, 02:29 AM

These two releases better have slipcovers. I have a feeling they will.

Thanks!

Pre-ordered the non-CE to save a few dollars.
Anyone else?

Above average reviews.. dramatic.. I'm ok with that.

By the way the review is wrong in the audio, the wellgo website says the sound will be in mandarin even though the DVD menu says it is cantonese (they have a misprint in some of the DVDs)

backslashio · 10-23-2011, 08:25 PM

I'll get the UK release when it gets a bit cheaper. Didn't love the movie but it had a few good scenes and listening to Bey Logan is always worth listening to (I rarely EVER bother with audio commentaries except for this guy & Red Dwarf cast)

Go Blue · 10-25-2011, 08:27 PM

Stongly considering blind-buying this. For those that have seen it, how much actual fighting is in the movie?

Dragon Lee · 10-31-2011, 06:58 AM

Just finished watching this. thoroughly enjoyed it despite my dislike for nicholas tse. benny chan, known for his headache enducing thrillers, directed this and surprisingly does a good job. the fights are plentiful and will no doubt satisfy fans of martial arts films.

Great movie, unfortunately at the 1:24:10 mark, the disc locked up and went back to the main menu. has anyone else experienced this?

shinseiRomeo · 10-31-2011, 07:11 AM

Picked up my first Well Go USA BD today. I still don't understand why the make a collectors and a gimped edition when the prices are barely different.

Absolutely love the slip for it as well.
