Cheryl & I went to watch this really crappy movie yesterday. Its called "Shaolin Girl". Its is a production from Stephen Chow so the story is actually similar to "Shaolin Football". Shaolin Girl tells the story of a girl by the name of Rin, who is compelled to take over her late grandfather’s kung-fu dojo. She endures 3,000 days of brutal training at the Shaolin Martial Arts School in China before returning to her nartive Japan. But what awaits her is a dojo that lies in tatters and students who have abandoned the true discipline of Shaolin kung-fu.While struggling to restore her grandfather’s school to its former glory and spread a genuine Shaolin philosophy, Rin attends university where she becomes the star member of the lacrosse team. While Rin’s exceptional physical abilities being a string of victories to the team, her teammates in turn come to her aid by helping her reestablish the dojo. Just as fortune seems to smile upon her, a dark incident from a past Rin knew nothing about rears its ugly head and throws her into a fantastic showdown with tremendous evil. I felt that the movie is crappy cause its got Stephen Chow humour in it but in a more gentle manner. Maybe because the cast are all Japanese and they are known to be more cultured. Its not easy for them to portray Stephen Chow's style. Well I do not recommend watching it in the theatre cause its a waste of money. Just wait for it to be loaded in one of those websites where you can watch for free.
