What happens

Heroes of Shaolin (Chinese: 大武士與小票客) aka Heroes of the Wild is the Americanized title for the 1977 Hong Kong kung fu epic Daai miu si yue siu piu haak. Filmed in Taiwan, the two-part story was directed by William Chang and co-written by Chang and relatively unknown kung-fu film writer Chang Hsin Yee. Like many kung fu movies from the late 1970s, the main theme of the film focuses on revenge, but the story holds a unique twist that sets it apart from many other films of the era. The film is set in the Yuan Dynasty in the 13th century. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
