Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

The mood

The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off
It's in Cantonese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Disguised as a Holy Monk of the Golden Light Temple, Tian Yuan challenges the high priest of Shaolin for ultimate rule of the holy place. But just as combat ensues, Emperor Tang's guards overrun the temple, killing all in their path (except a small group of priests who escape with the venerated - and magical - holy robe). The evil emperor will lose power if he can't locate the robe. But the monks aren't giving it up without a helluva fight!
