Jackie Chan and Andy Lau star in this movie about the betrayal of former general Hou Jie (Andy Lau) by his second in command Cao Man (Nicholas Tse) which causes his wife (Fan Bing Bing) to desert him. He then seeks refuge in a shaolin temple that he recently looked down upon after beating up a few of the monks in the same monastery. Hou Jie befriends a Shaolin cook (Jackie Chan) who picks him up and he finds a way to resolve the existing conflict with the fellow monks. He leads the monks in a fiery stand as they try to end the rule of the warlord Cao Man.

Special Features

Blu-ray Supplements:

• Deleted Scenes (HD; 43:53). Many of these exist in edited form in the final cut of Shaolin, but these mostly completed sequences with score and "all the trimmings." There's one interesting sequence with Jie sharpening a knife that reveals that there was a subplot where he didn't exactly become a model monk overnight.
• International Trailer A (HD; 2:12)
• International Trailer B (HD; 2:02)
• Theatrical Trailer (HD; 2:12)

DVD Supplements:

• Interviews (SD; 42:50) features sit-downs with Benny Chan, Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse, Jackie Chan, Fan Bingbing and Wu Jing. These aren't especially brilliantly edited (most subjects jerk around as we cut from comment to comment), but there is some interesting information imparted here, especially by director Chan, who discusses the historical aspects of the real Shaolin Temple as well as the previous Li film.
• Behind the Scenes (SD; 1:59:28) has some great on-set footage as well as lots of scenes of Chan setting up shots.
• Making Of (SD; 39:30) is a group of shorter sequences (most clock in at 1:58) featuring Lau, both Chans, and other cast and crew discussing various elements of the film. That's followed by a longer (23 minute-plus) featurette that's a more traditional EPK.
