Watched it.
Provides a very important lesson for actors. You may be asked to do some pretty crazy stuff that on the surface looks ridiculous, but only the director sees the big picture; and once it's all edited together and you see the finished product, you will recognize his sheer genius.
Of course, your mileage may ocassionally vary...
Mixing threads, I made some breakthroughs yesterday. I took a shower, which required a very unorthodox way of entering the tub because of all kinds of obstacles provided by our miniscule bathroom. Then I administered subcutaneous fluid to Halvah, who needs it every other day (LCF had gone to the vet to get it done the last two times. Then I had a setback, watching this movie without painkiller glasses.
Note: There is very brief nudity just past the 40 min. mark, after Shaolin boy runs across the water (a woman on the beach stands up in the background). Just in case you were going to recommend this for kids to watch. Not that I think it should disqualify it.
Personally, I consider The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T to have the best fight scene ever in it (where protagonist and villain go at it armed only with looks). But that wouldn't play well in Peoria (to a martial arts audience).
BTW, has there been a soundtrack release for China Dragon? That would be great, especially if it preserved the obnoxious kid's laughter.
