Filming

The film is the third part of the successful 'Shaolin' film series which began with the 1982 Shaolin Temple and was followed by Kids From Shaolin (1984). However, although it stars many Mainland actors from either or both predecessor films (Jet Li, Yu Chenghui, Yu Hai, Hu Jianqiang and Huang Qiuyan), Martial Arts Of Shaolin uses a Shaw Brothers Hong Kong production crew, in contrast to the other two films (which are Hong Kong-funded but are shot by a Mainland director with a Mainland crew).
