This is one of Jet Li's best of his earlier films. It tells the story of rivalry between two familes on either side of a river. One practices Wu Tang style, has only girls and is wealthy. The other is Shaolin, has only boys and is poor. The differences keep them apart and this suits well some riff raffs who want to steal the daughters and money from the wealthier family. The combination of humor, romance and fighting scenes make getting this movie worthwhile.

Excellent movie. If you are a martial arts fan, you will love this. My nieces(ages 7 to 17) loved this movie because the kids in the movie were cute and great actors. Great Jet Li fighting scenes. I could watch this movie over and over.

This is another one I remember watching on the big screen. Once again, it's been dubbed into Cantonese (from Mandarin), but they didn't do a very complete job of it, so sometimes a line or two will pop out in Mandarin, which can be entertaining in itself, if you understand the language. Plot- and character-wise, this movie is the best! All the actors (pint-size and regular-size) do a wonderful job of showing how much fun childhood can be. The kiddie fight scenes are laugh-out-loud hilarious. Jet Li was perfectly cast as a kid caught between childhood and manhood, and he showcases his talents with great fight scenes as well as with tender moments between his character and his brothers and between his character and Hwang Chou Yin's. Filmed on location, this movie also showcases some of the best of China's spectacular scenery. Great entertainment for all ages!

I actually liked this more than the first. There is a lot of singing and it is kind of a kiddie movie, but when the fighting begins, your kids will never watch another genre again. There is not really a good guy and a bad guy in this flick until the end.

The story is about a Shaolin master and his boys becoming friendly with the girls across the way. It just so happens that the girls father is a Wudang master. So of course they can't be together. Shaolin hates Wudang! Well, in the movies at least. So some plot gets injected with bandits they will have to fight. The final fight is spectacular. If you are looking for a movie that will at least make you giggle and has unbelievable action sequences, Kids from Shaolin is one you need to check out.

I have seen this movie before and it is originally in Mandarin. I wanted this movie to show my Chinese students about Chinese culture. However, I was very dissapointed to find that the copy I purchased is in Cantonese. The dvd is pretty much worthless to me now.

I'd say its the second best from the series, a must see also. You will enjoy seeing the great Kung Fu hear. Not only will you see Shaolin Style here but also another one.

Lots of cute scenes, including when all the boy actors have to bend over for a caning.

This is my favorite movie. You should go see it. Especially if you are a Jet Li fan.

Its one of the best jet lee movies ive seen yet
