In Spiritual Kung Fu Jackie plays a young Shaolin layabout always in trouble with the Abbott. When he decides to leave Shaolin he must perfect the five animal styles to get past the 18 Lo Han Formation.
My Verdict: An ok Lo Wei produced film with Jackie showing some good action and comedy. Marred slightly by the low budget and poor special effects.
