Martial Arts of Shaolin (Chinese: 南北少林, lit. "Southern and Northern Shaolin") aka Shaolin Temple 3: Martial Arts of Shaolin, is a 1986 Hong Kong martial arts film. It is notable as the only collaboration between film director Lau Kar-leung and actor Jet Li. The film was later released on Region 1 DVD by The Weinstein Company under the Dragon Dynasty imprint.

Production

The film is the third part of the successful Shaolin film series which began with the 1982 film, 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 Hong Kong production crew from Shaw Brothers Studio, in contrast to the other two films (which are Hong Kong-funded but are shot by a Mainland director with a Mainland crew).

Cast

Box office

Martial Arts Of Shaolin performed moderately well at the Hong Kong box office, grossing HK$18,106,589.
