I've seen many films...

... that feature Shaolin training regimens and they are all different! If you were able to master all the skills taught in these movies, you would be Superman. One thing I liked about this movie is that they kept the Buddhist training in sight and it was just about fancy tricks. I think that's part of the reason I enjoyed the TV's Kung Fu pilot episode. Everything physical has a mental or spiritual analogy.

I liked the part where they had to carry two buckets of water up a steep board, with the buckets extended out from their sides, and knives strapped to their arms so they get cut if the buckets droop. And how the main character struggles with that step at first, but after a while is running up the board, and steadying another trainee with his foot while balancing on the other one and still holding the buckets out.
