I saw a movie preview for "ShaoLin Soccer." It looked absolutely hysterical.

"The Shaolin Temple is an important piece of cultural heritage for all human beings. To protect it, we must propose draft legislation to ensure appropriate action," said the abbot of the Temple, whose religious name is Shi Yongxin.

Running dog. Your representative is a disgrace and your kung fu is weak.

(What's the smiley that means "speaking with mouth moving a second too late?")

Ah, yes, Grasshopper. Was not Caine (David Carradine) also a Shaolin monk? Master Po would certainly know.

If there's one thing I know for sure from years of watching Kung Fu Theatre, it's that you never under any circumstances dishonor the Shaolin temple.

Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was actually about the internal martial arts of rival Wudan mountain, and not the "hard styles" of Shaolin Temple.

In any case it would be great if there was more understanding of Shaolin Temple as primarily a Buddhist temple for spiritual enlightment and not a boot camp for kung fu fighting.

The real monks left when the commies took over. Those in the tourist trap "Shaolin monasteries" within Red China are actors and other martial artists pretending to be the original buddhists. They are hired to do so by the ChiCom government. This is such a sickening rip off and cash cow for the ChiComs.

Don't buy into it, and don't be duped as so many have.
