Topic: Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Recommendations for plants under sugar maple (Acer saccharum) tree
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:We have an area under sugar maple trees and near white pines. We cannot get any grass to grow. There is little moisture and no sun in the summer. We live 25 miles north of Nashville, TN. Can you recommend a plant we could use in this area.
Allelopathy (negative effects on growth of other plant species from chemicals produced by another) is listed as strong to moderate for the roots of Acer saccharum (Sugar maple) in an article, Potential Allelopath in Different Tree Species, by Kim Coder from the Warnell School of Forest Resources. Pinus strobus (Eastern white pine) is on the same list with a slight allelopathic effect from its roots. This may be one of the reasons you aren't able to grow grass under your sugar maples. However, the fact that it is dry and very shady underneath the tree is probably the more serious barrier to growing many plants.
We can do a search in our Native Plant Database for plants that will tolerate dry soils and shade (less than 2 hours of sun per day) by doing a COMBINATION SEARCH and choosing Tennessee from the Select State or Province list, then 'Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day' from Light requirement and 'Dry - soil does not exhibit visible signs of moisture' from Soil moisture.
Here are some possibilities for plants from that list that should work for you. I wasn't able to find information, however, about native plants that withstand possible allelopathic effects of sugar maple roots so I can't be absolutely positive that this won't be a problem. Also, you need to realize that you will have to provide some water at first to get these plants established.
Many sedges such as Carex blanda (Eastern woodland sedge) and Carex pensylvanica (Pennsylvania sedge), that are very grass-like, will do well in dry shade.
One grass that grows very well in the shade and is very attractive is Chasmanthium latifolium (Inland sea oats). It does like a moderate amount of moisture, however, but perhaps your area would have enough.
Here are some other low-growing plants from the list that do well in dry shade.
Aquilegia canadensis (Eastern red columbine)
Gaultheria procumbens (Checkerberry)
Hypericum prolificum (Shrubby St. Johnswort)
Pteridium aquilinum (Western bracken fern)
Salvia urticifolia (Nettleleaf sage)

CSR plc (LSE: CSR; NASDAQ: CSRE) today announced that Jarre Technologies, the provider of premium audio products founded by music pioneer Jean Michel Jarre, has licensed the CSR aptX® audio codec for a new range of high-end Bluetooth® speaker docks in order to allow users to stream music wirelessly with no degradation of audio quality.
To debut in early 2013, Jarre's new product line-up comprises three models: the AeroPad One, a two-speaker iPod®, iPad® and iPhone® dock speaker that will retail for €499; the AeroPad Two, a four-speaker version to retail for €699; and the striking AeroSkull dock, designed to resemble a large, metalised human skull, with the speakers forming the skull's aviator-style sunglasses.
"Jean Michel Jarre is one of the most influential and innovative musicians, composers and performers of our time, having broken new ground in electronic music and concert performances, and helped build his company's products to his exacting specifications," said Anthony Murray, SVP Business Group, CSR. "We are extremely honoured that Jean Michel, and his company, have chosen aptX to deliver Jarre's trademark high-fidelity sound."
Although standard Bluetooth technology offers the ability to stream stereo audio wirelessly from audio devices to headphones and speakers, this bandwidth-constrained solution does not come close to the audio quality consumers have come to expect from their electronic entertainment systems. CSR aptX audio coding technology solves this problem, breaking the bandwidth barrier to deliver CD-quality stereo audio wirelessly over Bluetooth connections for a variety of consumer electronics applications.
This announcement marks further momentum for the aptX codec as the de facto standard for premium-quality wireless audio, and follows other recent deployments including products from Samsung, including tablets and headsets, as well as from Beats, HTC, Motorola, Nokia, Monster, Sennheiser, Creative, and many others.

S&P 500 ends at record on jobless data
But the overall sentiment was cautious ahead of Friday's all-important U.S. nonfarm payrolls report and tensions between Ukraine and Russia.
Weekly applications for U.S. unemployment insurance fell to 323,000, the lowest in three months, a sign of strength in a labor market that has been hobbled by severe weather. New orders for U.S. factory goods, however, fell more than expected in January and shipments also slipped, adding to signs of a recent slowdown in manufacturing activity.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 61.71 points or 0.38 percent, to end at 16,421.89. The S&P 500 gained 3.22 points or 0.17 percent, to finish at 1,877.03. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 5.848 points or 0.13 percent, to close at 4,352.125.

Darrius Heyward-Bey sits out
ANDERSON, Ind. -- Indianapolis Colts receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey sat out of the team's morning walk-through and afternoon practice in pads Monday because of what the team is calling a sprained left knee.
AFC South blog
ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky writes about all things AFC South in his division blog.
A team spokesman described the injury, which happened in practice Sunday, as not serious.
Heyward-Bey stood on the field for both practices while wearing a brace on his knee Monday.
He's spent the first part of training camp lining up opposite of Reggie Wayne at receiver.
Teammates and coaches insisted after Monday's morning workout that the receiver might be back on the field soon.
"Yeah, it stinks when a guy goes down but it is the nature of football and hopefully it is not too serious, I don't think it is," quarterback Andrew Luck said. "I feel very comfortable with all those guys, they do the right things, they run the right routes at the right time, they know how to get to the spot."
Depth at receiver will become a concern for the Colts if Heyward-Bey, who signed with them in the offseason after spending his first four years with the Oakland Raiders, is out for an extended period of time.
T.Y. Hilton will likely step in to the No. 2 receiver spot, but the remaining seven receivers in camp have combined for 12 catches in their career.
"We feel like our backups are very capable," offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said earlier in the day Monday. "I expect the next guy to step up."
Heyward-Bey isn't the only concern.
Linebacker Jerrell Freeman, who set the Colts' single-season record for tackles (203), sat out with a shoulder injury. The team did not provide details of the injury or how much time Freeman might miss.
Colts cornerback Greg Toler did make it back to practice after missing three full days with a concussion.
Also Monday, the Colts signed free agent fullback Robert Hughes. The 5-foot-11, 235-pound Hughes played in five games with the Colts last season.

Clashes Erupt in Bulgarian Stara Zagora over Illegal Houses Demolition
Clashes broke out between the Gendarmerie and the inhabitants of the Roma neighborhood in Bulgaria's city of Stara Zagora, Monday morning.
A total of 55 illegally built houses are being demolished in Lozenets district. By order of the Mayor Zhivko Todorov, their forced removal began at 7:30 am Monday, Nova TV reports.
The owners of the buildings have been notified within the legal deadlines with municipal acts and orders. Still, the tension has escalated leading to clashes between the locals and the Gendarmerie.
Two people were arrested for throwing stones and tiles from the roof of a house. People are adamant that they will not allow the demolition of any of the houses, some even threaten to commit suicide.
The campaign has already been postponed once in May due to failure of police to provide reliable security and order during the demolition of houses. Nearly 1,000 employees of the Gendarmerie are in place in the Roma neighborhood. Several fire trucks and ambulances are on site as well.
The locals have threatened to defend their rights in court, including the European Court of Human Rights. The Mayor Zhivko Todorov has explained that there is no way to legalize any of the 55 buildings, because they are located on the territory of the Borova Gora Park, Bulgarian National Radio informs.
According to the Mayor, only one woman had sought help from the municipality. "We issued an order for her to be accommodated in public housing, however she has rejected our offer. None of the residents indicated that they wants to buy the right to build. If they want to be accommodated somewhere, they must submit the necessary papers, "said Todorov.

Now if the order is carried out that is fair and equal society. Cannot be this one set of laws for the poor of one colour and another for the poor of another colour.
This allowance of turning a blind eye must stop and removal of these houses is fair and equal treatment; genuine integration.
Back to school kids, and learn., after all we are all someone's child.

Workforce Commission revokes 22 ATI programs
Send this to a friend
- Bill Hethcock, Staff Writer
The Texas Workforce Commission is revoking certificates of approval for 22 programs being taught at career schools run by ATI Enterprises Inc., after finding misreporting of graduate employment rates in the programs.
The North Richland Hills-based company faces $61,000 in fines, or $1,000 for each instance of misreporting. It must discontinue the 22 programs that ATI misreported to TWC, which have been shown by independent review to be below the 60 percent minimum rate of employment. ATI must also verify 2011 student employment rates through an independent third party and make management and operational changes necessary to ensure the accuracy of future reporting data.
TWC is requiring ATI to refund the cost of tuition to enrollees in the programs or offer them options to complete their training in compliance with the workforce commission. Students now in any of the affected programs must be given revised and accurate graduate employment rates.
As part of the terms for ATI to continue operating in Texas, ATI must provide a letter of credit sufficient to cover the cost of refund or completion of training for all students enrolled in any of the 22 affected programs. ATI also must provide credit to cover the costs of those who may enroll between now and when the verification is completed in case any remaining programs are revoked.
The terms also state that if 2011 employment rates are misreported by more than 5 percent for any ATI program, TWC will revoke the license for the entire school where the program is taught.
"ATI senior leadership has taken this matter very seriously and worked intensely with TWC officials to come to an agreement for the common goal of providing quality education and opportunities for ATI students and graduates," a statement released by the school says.
Some of ATI's programs include air conditioning, heating and refrigeration; motorcycle service technician; welding; dental and medical assisting; pharmacy technician; clinical lab technician; personal fitness trainer; and computer office specialist.

The Manny Ramirez Johnny Damon press conference
Feb 2, 2011, 5:00 PM EST
I mentioned this yesterday. It was entertaining enough that some of you may want to watch it.
Rays fans will think it's funny up to the exact moment that the team starts losing or Manny creates some sort of turmoil. At that point, they'll never ever want to watch this video or be reminded of its contents again.
- jetersusedjersey - Feb 2, 2011 at 6:26 PM
When Damon is hitting 240 and Manny is throwing fits the Rays will be kicking themselves.
- Jack Marshall - Feb 2, 2011 at 7:08 PM
I'd like to start a pool on what the combined IQ's of these two are. I'm betting under 200. Lower?
- pisano - Feb 2, 2011 at 7:14 PM
I think your close, but you might be too generous. These two combined may be a step below a bag of rocks.

Anyone in baseball comes off smarter than Aaron Boone, who if you recall, hit that home run off Tim Wakefield in the ALCS for the Yanks a few years ago… well at the end of what some consider to be the greatest baseball game ever played (please let's not get into that argument though) the hero of the moment is asked about hitting the game winning home run to send his team to the World Series, and his only reply was, "it's stupid".
This is why baseball players need some college.
- Tim's Neighbor - Feb 2, 2011 at 8:36 PM
If you're going to mock someone's intelligence, at least nail down your grammar. Just to start: Your and you're are two different words.
So let's taking it easy on ragging on these guys as people and stick to baseball.

- pisano - Feb 3, 2011 at 12:16 PM
I appreciate the concern, but if I want YOUR help I'll get in touch with you. In other words don't call me I'll call you. BTW, this thread is not about a grammar lesson, maybe you should find another site to correct people because YOU"RE not wanted or needed here.

Free-scoring Liverpool can move within one point of Premier League leaders Chelsea if they beat Sunderland at Anfield on Wednesday.
Liverpool fans are dreaming of their 19th English top-flight title - and first since 1990 - after a run of six successive league wins.
Brendan Rodgers' team have scored 24 goals in the process of those victories - taking their total for the season to 82 in just 30 games - and their 6-3 win at Cardiff City on Saturday showed they have the mettle required for a title fight.
Twice they came from behind in an enthralling encounter, and Rodgers has called on the club's supporters to create a special atmosphere for the Sunderland clash as they return to home soil for the first time in a month.
"We're really looking forward to playing at Anfield now on Wednesday night," Rodgers told Liverpool's official website.
"Hopefully the supporters can really get behind the team well before kick-off, get the atmosphere revved up for the game and we'll look to continue on this great run. As you can see, we believe we can perform well and get results."
Uruguay forward Luis Suarez again stole the headlines at Cardiff, scoring a hat-trick to take his tally to 28 goals in just 25 Premier League appearances this season.
He is comfortably ahead of his nearest rival in the scoring charts - team-mate Daniel Sturridge with 19 - and was the main man in Liverpool's 3-1 win at Sunderland in September.
Making his Premier League return from his 10-match suspension for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic, Suarez scored twice in his first appearance in the competition for over five months.
It was no surprise to see Sturridge score Liverpool's other goal in that win, and the prolific partnership between the pair has been one of the main reasons for Liverpool's success.
Rodgers also has a relatively clean bill of health coming into the business end of the season, with just defenders Sebastian Coates and Jose Enrique (both knee) missing.
Lucas and Mamadou Sakho have recently returned from knee and hamstring injuries respectively and will look to play a big part in the title run-in.
Sunderland's form, meanwhile, is in stark contrast to that of their hosts, with the relegation-threatened Wearsiders winless in their last four Premier League outings.
Gus Poyet's 18th-placed side have not responded from their League Cup final defeat to Manchester City and slumped to a 2-0 loss at Norwich City on Saturday.
They remain three points adrift of safety, but do have up to three games in hand on their relegation rivals.
Sunderland could be without striker Steven Fletcher (ankle) again, and they recalled England Under-21 forward Connor Wickham from his loan spell at Leeds United on Monday.
Goalkeeper Keiren Westwood remains on the sidelines with a shoulder injury for Sunderland, who have not won at Anfield since 1983-84 - a season in which Liverpool went on to win the league.

Broadway takes a big hit from Superstorm Sandy
Superstorm Sandy, which darkened Broadway for four days, predictably ravaged the box offices around Times Square, with shows losing more than $8.5 million.
AP Drama Writer
Superstorm Sandy, which darkened Broadway for four days, predictably ravaged the box offices around Times Square, with shows losing more than $8.5 million.
The Broadway League, the national trade association for the Broadway industry, released data Tuesday that showed, as expected, all shows took a hit. One of the hardest hurt was the Matthew Broderick musical "Nice Work If You Can Get It," which lost $538,853.
Since the storm actually affected two weeks of data, the league estimates that grosses managed just $33.66 million for past two-week period, a drastic fall from the same time frame last year when the box offices earned $42.2 million. Attendance also plunged 19 percent from the 10-year average.
The storm, which struck last Monday, forced all 40 Broadway theaters to shutter the night before. All shows were up and running by Thursday night, but the damage had been done, though few expect the pain to last.
"It will come back to its former life, there's no question about it. Broadway is New York and everyone celebrates the theater in this city," said Barry Weissler, who has been producing work on Broadway since 1982. "It's catch-up time."
Most shows on Broadway have eight performances a week, but Sandy forced many, including "The Phantom of the Opera," "The Heiress," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Chicago" to put on just six shows. "Glengarry Glen Ross" and "Evita" only managed five shows. Altogether, 48 individual performances were canceled.
Other shows that took a beating include "Wicked," which lost $490,996, though it still managed to pull in $1,166,275. The least hurt was "Rock of Ages," which lost just $59,209.
Sandy joins other recent shocks to have rocked Broadway finances, including the Sept. 11 attacks, which shuttered theaters for two days, and Hurricane Irene in 2011 that wiped away a weekend's revenue.
"Storms will not stop us, the terrible tragedy of 9/11 will not stop us. Theater will continue. It's one of the oldest art forms known to man and it will continue," said Weissler, who together with his wife, Fran, has produced such shows as "Grease," "Chicago" and "Annie Get Your Gun."
The league said that the losses from Hurricane Irene were actually larger than for Sandy. Not only were 66 individual performances scrapped for Irene, but the storm struck during the busy summer, not the slower fall.
But Sandy may have hurt off-Broadway theaters more. The SoHo Rep and The Bank Street Theater lost power and had some flooding, while many other downtown theaters lost power, including the MCC Theatre and SoHo Playhouse. The Canal Park Playhouse canceled all November and December performances.
The infectious drumming show "Blue Man Group" was quieted, the immersive, genre-bending show "Sleep No More" was stilled, and The Public Theater was shut down for almost a week. The lobby at its home at Astor Place is now a collection site for post-Sandy supplies.
Charlotte St. Martin, head of the league, wasn't sure if Sandy would produce the same outpouring of help and concern that 9/11 triggered in the city.
"There was an enormous response and rally by people across this country, and frankly, from around the world, who felt this need to support New York," she said. "I don't know if that's going to happen because of the hurricane, but it sure would be great if it did."
Associated Press writer Mark Hamrick contributed to this report from Washington, D.C.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best martial arts films I've ever seen in my life,
Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
Man, oh man, this is one fantastic martial arts film. If Five Shaolin Masters doesn't have it all, it certainly does come close. Not only do you have numerous well-choreographed fight scenes involving groups as well as individuals, you've got a whole buffet of fighting styles served up for your viewing pleasure. Speaking of viewing pleasure, the print is fantastic. I can't speak for the DVD specifically, but the print that I saw was in vivid, glorious widescreen, looking more like a modern-day Hong Kong release than a film dating back to 1974.
As the film opens, the Shaolin Temple has just been destroyed by imperial Manchu forces. Thanks to a traitorous spy among the Shaolin disciples, the bad guys were able to take the Temple by complete surprise, killing all but five of its members. After fighting their way to safety, the survivors head off separately to make contact with other rebels. The Manchu are never far behind, as they are determined to stamp out all the rebels once and for all. Numerous fights ensue along the way, leaving the five Shaolin disciples alive but unsure of themselves, having learned that they are no match for the kung fu fighters of the Manchu. Having encountered their enemies (including the traitor that betrayed the Temple) face to face, though, they are now aware of their enemies' strengths and weaknesses. Proving that knowledge is power, each of them begins intensive training in the particular fighting style he thinks he will need in order to defeat his adversary. That, of course, sets the stage for one hell of a battle in the film's final 15-20 minutes.
I'm no martial arts film expert, but my understanding is that the great writer/director Chang Cheh brought together two generations of top-notch martial artists for this film. The five would-be Shaolin masters are played by Ti Lung, Chi Duan-chun, Mang Fei, Alexander Fu Sheng, and David Chiang, with the last two turning in particularly memorable performances. The Manchu kung fu experts are a few years older than the heroes, but their skills remain honed to a razor-sharp edge. Pao Yu-lung (Choi Wang) is deservedly renowned and feared for his skill with the Flying Axe, while his buddies (played by Kong Do, Fung Hak-on, Chien San, and Ma Fu-yi) are just as masterful at their own individual fighting styles. One of them kills a man with a mere snap of his ponytail, which was so impressive I had to immediately pause and watch him do it a second time.
The big fight at the end is the equivalent of five main events all rolled into one, featuring a display of martial artistry showcasing the Tiger and Crane style, advanced usage of the chain dart and fighting staff, a whopping ten complementary styles by one fighter, and all kinds of other impressive action. The realism extends all the way through the aftermath of each pugilistic duel, as well. Liu Chia-Liang's fight choreography is spot-on throughout the entire film, as is Chang Cheh's direction. For the time being, at least, Five Shaolin Masters is my new favorite martial arts film.
On a final note, a prequel to this film, Shaolin Temple, was made in 1976, so you might want to hunt that one down before watching Five Shaolin Masters. If you have any interest in kung fu cinema at all, though, you're definitely going to want to see this 1974 classic - with or without the prequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for Any Collector or True Fan,
This review is from: Five Shaolin Masters (DVD)
I collect old-school kung fu movies, and no doubt - I count Five Shaolin Masters among the top 10 movies to have; right up there with Master Killer and Five Deadly Venoms. Here's the catch though, a lot of people do not know that this movie actually has a pre-1uel, which was completed, I think, 4 years AFTER it: Shaolin Temple A.K.A. Death Chambers. All of the main actors are in both except Meng Fei - I keep reading that Meng Fei is in Shaolin Temple, but I can never spot him. If he is there, he has a very small part. David Chiang, Fu Sheng, Ti Lung (one of my favorites) and Chin Kuan-Chun (another all-time favorite of mine) are in both - along with the usual cast of Shaw Brothers villains. I have both the original language and dubbed versions - both are good, but I always prefer the original language - although- even those do not have the actual actors' voices in them, either.
Like a lot of kung fu movies, this one is about revenge - But watch Shaolin Temple first, which chronicles their training and escape from the destroyed temple, in order to better understand what is happening in Five Shaolin Masters. This one has an excellent fight scene climax - actually five of them - going on simultaneously. You will love how Chin Kuan-Chun unleashes ALL of his Hung Ga styles on Fung Hak On's (one of my favorite villains) Mantis Fist.
You like old school kung fu? Then just go out and get this - BUT - do yourself a favor and get Shaolin Temple too - and have yourself a nice Kung Fu Theater weekend like we did in NYC back in the day.

4.0 out of 5 stars A 1975 classic is seen the way it should be - almost,
Michael W. Jaworski "jawsomatic" (Fairfield, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
The maestro Chang Cheh made this Shaolin versus Manchu classic "Five Shaolin Masters" in 1975 for his independent Chang Ho Film company (which was affiliated with Shaw Brothers). First, the movie itself is classic Chang Cheh, right down to his themes of brotherhood, patriotism and honor.
The Shaolin heroes are comprised of his "first team" ~ Ti Lung as Tsai Te-Chung, the late Fu Sheng as Ma Chao-Hsing, Chi Kuan-Chun as Li Shih-Kai, David Chiang as Hu Te-Ti & an odd choice in Meng Fei as Fang Ta-Hung. Odd because it's Meng's only appearance in a Chang Cheh film to my knowledge. Billy Tang & Gordon Liu both make cameos, I don't know why he didn't use one of them. Anyhoo, Chang rounds out the film with great "villains";(shown with their own music) Tsai Hung as Pao Yu-Lung, Liang Chia-Jen a.k.a. Beardie as Chien San, Feng Ko-An as Chiang Chin-Chiu, Chiang Tao as Chen Wen-Yao & Johnny Wang Lung-Wei as Ma Fu-Yi. The story is simple; Manchus attack and destroy Shaolin with the help of a spy (explained in the prologue), each Shaolin hero gets matched up with their Manchu adversary, the heroes get beaten, they regroup, spend a year brushing up on their fu in the Shaolin ruins and have a 15 minute finale with our "improved" heroes taking on their Manchu enemies. However, Chang Cheh executes the narrative like no other. The Liu brothers, one of whom makes a cameo, deliver the goods in the choreography department, especially the end fight between Chi Kuan-Chun using the Cross Fist style against Feng Ko-An's Mantis Fist & Eagle Claw styles. Awesome stuff here and great stock music.
Now for the DVD; digitally restored & remastered blemish-free print. Widescreen, uncut, and it includes the original Chinese/English credits. One complaint though. Even though I would prefer subtitles and original Chinese audio track, I didn't mind the English dubbing here because it was those familiar "Drive-In Movie" voices that I grew up listening to. But here's the problem, the English track this DVD company had wasn't in the greatest shape. It was audible and all, but there were synch glitches left and right (probably because of the different region origins of the video and audio), and the audio track kept switching between two different audio tracks. It wasn't that bad, I'm being a little nitpicky I know, but it was slightly distracting, but the picture quality is top-notch.
Bonzai Distribution, who did this one, are hit and miss. Sometimes they do a fantastic job like "Ten Tigers of Kwangtung", "The Weird Man" and "House of Traps", sometimes they do a real crappy job like "Magnificent Ruffians". "Five Shaolin Masters" a.k.a. "Five Masters of Death" falls in between - excellent picture, so-so audio, no special features. Well, there's my opinion for what it's worth. Hope it helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Any Collector of Classic Kung Fu Flicks,
I own over 300 classic Kung Fu DVDs and every now and again I try to rank the top 5 or 10 DVDs any collector MUST have and this one always ranks in both categories along with, of course, Five Deadly Venoms, and Shaolin Master Killer. This is because it pairs two of my favorite SB actors, and real life kung fu practitioners (Ti Lung (Wing Chun) and Chi Kwan Chun (Hung Ga)) in the second part of the telling of the burning of the Shaolin Temple and a few escapees' attempts to spread Shaolin Kung fu as well as fight against the Qing oppressors. If you like this and to better understand this story, pick up Death Chambers (AKA Shaolin Temple) with essentially the same cast except for Meng Fei. A very young Lee Yi Min has more of a prominent role in this one and you will recognize most of the teen-age looking Venoms in it as well.
Released 4-6 years AFTER Five Shaolin Masters, Death Cambers/ Shaolin Temble is actually the prequel to Shaolin Masters. It is kind of odd to see how much younger the actors are in the second part of collection, but you get used to it.
The last fight scenes are fantastic with our heroes each taking on other actors classic kung fu villians we have come to know in the genre. I love the guy who does the mantis fist in most of his movies. He fights Chi Kwan Chun who unloads a demonstration of, I think, 10 Hung Ga forms on him while naming each.
Try watching this in its original language you if you can. There is someone on Ebay who sells the Celestial remastered versions of all SB movies for like $5.00 each called Brothersrobber. There are other sellers as well. I like to collect the cases and artwork so I also look for other sellers as well.
Great Movie, story and choreography!

Tedley "Tedley" (Portland, ME) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Five Shaolin Masters (DVD)
one of those classic kung-fu movies you saw with your grandfather back in nyc on a saturday afternoon....kung fu theatre...drive-in theatre....used to be channel 5...in the non-cabled household.
this is your typical kung-fu formula for success....shaolin temple....detruction of shaolin temple....survivors band together....survivors train to seek vengeance....train in styles specific to beat their enemies....tragedy ensues...
great acting...or overacting as manifest by exuberant dubbing....
any kung-fu movie withe 50 utterances of "but still" can't be all that bad....
i've always sad...it's a drinking game waiting to be developed for the kung-fu set.
must buy for your collection.
i can't say much about the particular mastering / remastering ....
with this particular edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good story, weaker fight scenes,
This review is from: Five Shaolin Masters (DVD)
First off, the quality of the DVD was excellent. I'm so used to seeing poor quality on some of my VHS tapes (obviously recorded at 6 hour mode), that a real DVD transfer looks fantastic. No complaints on the DVD itself.
Though this movie has gotten some good reviews, I was not thrilled with it. The overall story was pretty good about the Shaolin temple being burned down and there being 5 survivors to continue the teachings. Though really there are 7 (at least mentioned at beginning) but you never hear about the other 2. Not sure why. The fighting skills of the survivors are not that good and the story follows them through recruiting fighters and training themselves further.
The training sequences were weak. The people they recruited did not play into the final fight storyline at all. And the fight sequences themselves just were not that great. I expected better based on some of the actors in this movie.
If you are expecting Venom quality fights, you will be disappointed. And even considering the actors involved, I found Fu Sheng much better in Chinatown Kid (for example).
Overall, just an average Kung Fu flick.
