Synopsis
A live performance that premiered on PBS in December 2001, SHAOLIN: WHEEL OF LIFE is a spectacular stage performance that features the soldier monks of China's Shaolin Temple, who have been immortalized in countless kung fu films. Revealing their history through a stunning combination of theater and martial arts, the performance also features a thrilling story of jealousy and betrayal that would not be out of place in one of the movies inspired by their heritage. Beautifully filmed and impeccably performed featuring almost superhuman feats of strength and agility, SHAOLIN: WHEEL OF LIFE is essential viewing for martial arts film devotees and a sheer delight for those unfamiliar with the mysterious world of the Shaolin monks. Narration is provided by John Hurt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Production, Good Kung Fu, Interesting Culture, 19 Mar 2002
By A Customer
The extra's on the DVD are well worth having 2 very good documentaries that give background on the production of the show from the very begining as well as a bit on life at the shaolin temple. (e.g. interview with the abbot)

If your interested in martial arts you'll find this very interesting, if your not, you may still enjoy the fascinating culture and amazing skill.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked on Shaolin!!, 5 Aug 2004
This really is a spectacular viewing experience!! I was thrilled, amazed, and overawed at the incredible skills displayed...and that was just the little boy's performance!! The adults are just awesome!! Extraordinary feats of physical strength and endurance combined with a genuine spiritual feel. I was left uplifted and humbled....and gagging to watch it again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff, 1 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Alright now all the filsm with the martial arts on may look good, but THIS is the real deal! If you like martial arts then you have to buy this! These guys do everything themselves, no tricks or nothing and have trained to perform like this as it's what they do, not because it will get them a pay check and they are really good at it! So if you are a martial arts fan don't bother with the films where they use stunt doubles and all imagery, get this instead, you will NOT be disappointed.
