This previously posted website for Shaolin Shifu, Shi Yan Lei has relaunched with a new redesign. It was a nicely designed website in the first place, but now seems to have a bit of added polish. There are lots of new DVD’s on sale there now, featuring training exercises you can carry out at home.

Shifu Shi Yan Lei

Thanks Marcus!

I previously posted about the forthcoming movie, Finishing The Game, in which filmmaker Justin Lin, takes a humorous look at the period after Bruce’s untimely death with the search for a replacement star that could fill the void.
I’ve only just come across the official movie site and trailer, so thought I’d share them here.

Cinematical have just posted this exclusive poster for The Forbidden Kingdom, otherwise known as the film that pairs up martial arts veterans Jackie Chan and Jet Li for their first ever big-screen collaboration.

The Forbidden Kingdom follows an American teen (Michael Angarano) and all-around Kung Fu nut, who comes across a mysterious Chinese staff that transports him back to ancient China.

While there, he meets up with two Kung Fu masters (Jackie Chan, Crystal Liu Yifei) and the Silent Monk (Jet Li), and the four head off to fulfill an ancient prophecy to free the jailed Monkey King.

We previously posted the Forbidden Kingdom trailer at the beginning of the month.

The Forbidden Kingdom will arrive in theaters in the US on April 18th, 2008.

Check out these newly unleashed Ninja Town plushes which come blind boxed for your frustrating pleasure!

The baby ninja is particularly outstanding as an object of simplicity, though the more radical among you might like the ninja dropping.. Seems there is a ninja for every taste.

At $5.95 each, these seem to make good stocking fillers for the ninja-loving recipients out there!

Get them at NinjaTown

A great, unexpected combination - nuns who do karate! I can just imagine their charitable kindness backed up with a spinning back fist if they need to…

Were they inspired by the Shaolin monks? Who knows, you might not want to mess with them.
