Martial Arts of Shaolin is the third and last installment of The Shaolin Temple. The film notably had a Big Budget Beef-Up (from being co-produced by Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers Studios) with more intricate sets, bigger action scenes, more stunts and stuntmen, and a more epic feel overall. This time Jet Li plays Lin Zhi-ming, a Shaolin monk since birth, who opposes the tyranny of the powerful Lord He Suo despite the Shaolin monks' preference of peace and reluctance to partake in violence restricting him in taking action. Out of options, Lin Zhi-ming teams up with fellow rebel Chao-wei and action-girl rebel leader Sima-Yan to take on the tyrant while trying to get the resistance leaders and Shaolin monks to help them fight for a good cause.Fun fact: After the third movie, Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan (who plays Sima-yan) would get married in real life, though their marriage ends with divorce in the mid-90s. | |

Did Not Get the Girl: It seems like Zhi-ming and Sima-Yan are destined for each other if they survive the final battle, but as it turns out, being a Shaolin monk, Zhi-ming instead decides to give his engagement anklet to his friend Chao-wei and let Chao have her instead. | |

Prized Possession Giveaway | |
| Martial Arts Of Shaolin / int_a14ba678 | comment |
Prized Possession Giveaway: In the third movie, the hero (Zhi-Ming) carries with him a silver anklet ever since birth, one which is two-of-a-kind that his (long-deceased) parents said the girl who carries the other anklet will be destined to be Zhi-Ming's wife. As the film goes on Zhi-Ming becomes close friends with Chao-Wei the warrior and Sima-Yen the Action Girl, the latter who owns the other anklet. At the end of the film after working together to defeat the Big Bad, Zhi-Ming ultimately decides his heart lies with the Shaolin monks; so instead Zhi-Ming gives his anklet to Chao-Wei, wishing Chao-Wei and Sima-Yan a happy marriage as he bids his best friends farewell. | |
