EDIT: FULL ENGLISH DUB ON YOUTUBE!

Whatever you do, find the English Dub.

Do not get the subtitled version. I know this is the opposite of what you usually want for a foreign film, but trust me on this one.

The English Dub for this film is absolutely unhinged and great.

I've been trying to find a list of the English voice actors for a very long time because I swear I recognize several voices from my Saturday morning cartoons in the 90's. (Most notably one of the young Shaolin boys that Hung Man Ting befriends)

IMDB Entry

Starring:

• Jet Li as Hung Hei Kwun
• Miao Xie as Hung Man Ting
• Chingmy Yau as Red Bean
• Deannie Ip as Red Bean's Mother
• Sung-Young Chen as Ma Kai-Sin
• Chunhua Ji as Ma Ling-Yee
• Damian Lau as Chan Kan-Nam
• Lung-Wei Wang as Commander
• Chu-Ko Liang as the Wax Sculptor

Ten years before Kung Fu Hustle, Jet Li starred in this comedic action film which sports a lot of elements of what you might call a "Live Action Anime."

As shown in the animated GIF above, the film starts off on full-blast with a Shaolin plus a baby fight. (and of course catbox.moe is down so the GIF isn't loading now, d'oh!)

This would be the first of two films Jet Li would star alongside Miao Xie as a father/son fighting duo, followed by My Father is a Hero / The Enforcer (1995). The Enforcer is a much more serious film than New Legend of Shaolin, and in my opinion New Legend of Shaolin is just a way more fun film.

The entire film really feels cartoony and over-the-top. Every step of the way it gets weirder until it results in an absolutely insane climax and ending.
