Here we go with rare Japanese poster artwork for Shaolin Wooden Men (Shao Lin mu ren xiang). I’ve yet to take a stroll down Shaolin Wooden Men Alley in this 1976 Jackie Chan kung fu training extravaganza. I hope that Dragon Dynasty eventually releases (sooner rather than later).

It’s no secret I love monkey kung fu in movies and better when their is a kung fu training sequence like the above in the mix and it’s even better when they oppose the snake fist style! Well, Snake in the Monkeyâ€™s Shadow has all three and as far as I’m concerned is the king of monkey kung fu cinema.
