When the Mongolian Salitai raids the Shaolin Temple, the head Buddhist priest of the temple, Won-kak, meets by chance the mute So-sun and the Mongolian Il-gong. They shave their heads and enter the temple. Buddhist priest Won-kak gets the Buddhist soldiers together and tells them to protect to the end the national treasure, the golden Buddhist statue that is at Shaolin temple. The mute So-sun works as the lowest servant at the temple and learns how to fight. One day, evil men come and steal the gold statue. So-sun sees this and tells Buddhist priest Sio but the ringleader of men is none other than the Mongolian informant Il-gong. So-sun ends up on the run due to scheming of Il-gong. After training with the Pungdo-hyub fighting technique, Il-gong turns the Shaolin Temple into the bandits' headquarters. So-sun searches out the 'Hwa-gong Secret Fighting Technique' scriptures and trains under it to defeat the Pungdo-hyub fighting technique.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Magnificent Wonderman has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.3/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1980. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
