Tonight begins Grindhouse Film Festival's “Revenge Of The Old School Kung Fu Masters” series @ Hollywood. Of course, it starts straight Wu-Tang style with the destruction of the Shaolin Temple.

Series continues the next three Wednesdays and the full lineup of films is here: Revenge Of The Old School Kung-Fu Masters @ Hollywood Theater

From Grindhouse:
This spring, only at the Hollywood Theatre, The Grindhouse Film Festival presents an original film series: REVENGE OF THE OLD SCHOOL KUNG FU MASTERS!  After the massive success of the original Old School Kung Fu Masters series last year, here are four more amazing martial arts films.  These are some of the greatest kung fu movies ever made, all from extremely rare 35mm prints.

DEATH CHAMBER (aka SHAOLIN TEMPLE) (1976) The epic story of the destruction of the Shaolin Temple!  A group of men undergo elaborate training at the Temple to learn a wide array of kung fu styles and deadly techniques.  But, Shaolin has a traitor in its midst who is reporting to the evil Manchu government.  Soon, there is a huge martial arts showdown when the Manchus declare Shaolin as enemies, and raid the temple to kill everyone inside.  This is the “Ocean's 11″ of mid 70's Shaw Brothers films, with all of their major stars from the time (it also features Fu Sheng fighting wooden robots)
