About the film
Ti Lung's double game after the fall of Shaolin
The Heroes is a 1980 Hong Kong kung fu film directed by Wu Ma and Pao Hsueh-li, written by Ni Kuang and Katy Chin, with action by Robert Tai. It opened in Hong Kong in October 1980.
Ti Lung stars, with Shih Szu, Danny Lee, Michael Chan Wai-man and Dorian Tan Tao-liang. It is also known as The Shaolin Heroes.
The film
The Qing court sees the Shaolin Temple as a threat and sends soldiers to destroy it, led by Ko Fei, a former Shaolin disciple. The surviving monks are captured and put to hard labor, but Ko's punishing regime looks more and more like kung fu training. His Qing masters grow suspicious, a princess develops her own ideas about him, and Ko's true loyalties are put to the test.
