return to the 3th chamber be the comedic sequel to the epic 36th chamber of shaolin and in which gordon liu play shan te and a young man who become a monk and awesome fighter . in this sequel liu play a hapless loser who have to learn kung fu after cause his friend to be beat . he imitate the original shan te and try all manner of trick to get into shaolin temple to learn and eventually get some unique skill to fight some bullying boss . it a classic light hearted martial art tale and with the ace production value of the shaw brother and the sure footed direction of lui chia liang . the choreography be fantastic throughout and whether for fight or slapstick comedy and gordon liu performance and a be the others and particularly the sympathetic monk work perfectly for the material . the film be less epic or profound than some of the star other work and there be certainly grand and more violent and sweeping shaw brother film . but few have such a magical blend of slapstick and unique training and fighting and with a subtle yet warm tale of a useless guy make good . full of light hearted joy and it impossible not to give this the high score .
