I imagine this title is supposed to remind people of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK but that movie has nothing to do with this. What you get here is a fairly typical kung-fu flick that takes place in the Shaolin temple. A couple of weird things are that the guys from CRIPPLED MASTERS show up as teachers, at least I think it's those guys, it's a guy with no legs and a guy with no arms anyway which you don't see everyday. They teach the bronze horse style of kung fu, which involves fighting with some mechanical horses which is a little strange. Besides this though it's your standard tale of an evil warlord who hates those Buddhist monks and has some bad plans for them. This all ends up in a big kung-fu extravaganza involving guys who fight with saw-blades and some other guys who fight with sharpened cymbals which leads to an arm being lopped right off. Also one guy gets defeated by having a finger jammed through his foot. OK for what it is. AKA RAIDERS OF WU-TANG
