Pan Qingfu was one of the choreographers for Shaolin Temple. He appears in the film in the background, not as a character per se. If memory serves, you can see him behind the evil general in a scene or two...

I watched the Shaolin Temple movie in a theater in NY Chinatown. At the beginning of the movie Shorinji Kempo founder So Doshin and his daughter visited the Shaolin Temple in China. I've ordered the DVD three times but none of them have that historic "pilgrimage' of So Doshin and his daughter. Does anyone know where to get an original with those missing scenes?
Hello,
Are you checking the year of dvd release? The earlier dvd releases may have it. At that time, seeing Shorinji Kempo was one of the highlights of that movie.
Jimbo or jethro may know more definitively.

EDIT: I had to edit out my last post because according to the earlier thread the intro scene was edited out on the version the guy had.
Apologies,
mickey

Hi.
My only copy of Shaolin Temple was an old VHS tape I got when I lived in Taiwan, and that didn't have the Shorinji Kempo intro, either. It was one of the reasons I had bought it, too.
The only time I saw that intro was when the movie was released in a local Vietnamese/Chinese theater back in 1982. I actually liked that intro part better than the movie itself.
Sifu Redmond,
I think this is the dvd that I have the transfer of. Check the cover do you have this one?

I remember when I got mine there were still two buildings standing in lower Manhattan.

Update,
I purchased it.
I know you must be tired of getting burnt. I will let you know if it is the one.
