Shaolin Girl Premier

Yesterday I brought my mum to watch a movie at Vivocity. It's actually all thanks to Nuffnang, because I actually "won" tickets to go watch a movie called "Shaolin Girl".

I did a little research before I went to watch it, and here's it's synopsis.

Produced by Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer, CJ7), Shaolin Girl tells the story of a girl by the name of Rin, who is compelled to take over her late grandfather’s kung-fu dojo. She endures 3,000 days of brutal training at the Shaolin Martial Arts School in China before returning to her native Japan. But what awaits her is a dojo that lies in tatters and students who have abandoned the true discipline of Shaolin kung-fu.

While struggling to restore her grandfather’s school to its former glory and spread a genuine Shaolin philosophy, Rin attends university where she becomes the star member of the lacrosse team. While Rin’s exceptional physical abilities being a string of victories to the team, her teammates in turn come to her aid by helping her reestablish the dojo. Just as fortune seems to smile upon her, a dark incident from a past Rin knew nothing about rears its ugly head and throws her into a fantastic showdown with tremendous evil. Is the Shaolin Girl up to the challenge?

And here's the trailer:


I thought it was going to be a movie where it is a mere reflection of Shaolin Soccer, just that it was lacrosse instead of soccer.

But I was wrong.


In short, this movie actually shows that in order to succeed in something(let's say kung fu), one not only has to be good in it, but understand the spirit of it. In this movie it shows that people can be influenced rather easily, letting them be prey to the Dark Side.

I thought the ending was going to be expected, that she was going to kill him, but instead, she hugged him. And as I believe, the greatest gift from God is a hug. And this actually proves it, hugs do change people's live and change them into a better person.

The movie, even though is rather meaningful, is also really funny. Come on, Steven Chow can never live without amusing his audience and so, this movie was expected to be funny.


It's a short post, and all I want to say is, quoted from Adam Khoo "Everyone needs 7 hugs a day, to be happy".

So what are you waiting for? Go on' hugging!
