It was the first martial arts film to be made in mainland China; up until then, kung fu films were made in Hong Kong. It was also the first film to be shot at the Shaolin Monastery. It is estimated to have sold over 300million tickets at the Chinese box office, and is considered one of China's highest-grossing films ever when adjusted for inflation. The film's success established Jet Li as the first Mainland Chinese star of Hong Kong, and later Hollywood. It was also largely responsible for turning the Shaolin Monastery into a major tourist destination, both within China and internationally. A remake of the film was released in 2011 titled "Shaolin" and starred Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse and Jackie Chan.
