When his wife finally has a son the man enthusiastically kisses the infant's penis and I lol'd consistently. It's possible that the copy you have omits this scene seeing how there is so much butchering done between different releases of kung-fu flicks. @Reed: Part of the plot to Kids from Shaolin is that a man is desperately wanting to have a “dragon” (son).

The major reason I reviewed The Enforcer was because Dragon Dynasty just re-released it in a Special Collector's Edition as I noted in the review. It's funny that you should mention Kids from Shaolin because that's one of the few early Jet Li titles that I have. I think it's in the public domain or whatever because a cheapie distributor issued the DVD copy I have. I don't remember the action being all that thrilling. And I don't remember the humorous moment that you mention. I remember a pretty actress was in it. I think she had kung fu skills, so that was an added attraction. The kids were adorable. Jay says I don't have a sense of humor, so does anyone know the funny moment that Ryan M is referring to?

Why are you watching 90's HK action cinema expecting understated and three-dimensional villians? Reed, if you really love Jet Li you need a bit of Kids from Shaolin...it's his second movie (and naturally has many titles in North American release) but it's very worth it. It also has one of the funniest moments in kung-fu that has nothing to do with fighting (which you'll know when you see it). “The villain’s performance is over-the-top and pretty one-dimensional.”
