Shaolin (新少林寺) is a 2011 Hong Kong–Chinese martial arts film directed by Benny Chan, starring Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse, Jackie Chan, Fan Bingbing, Wu Jing, Yu Shaoqun and Xing Yu. Set in early 20th-century China, the film is about a ruthless warlord who seeks refuge and redemption at Shaolin Temple after his second-in-command betrays him. Shaolin was also released in both Mandarin and Cantonese and was a commercial success. It is a loose remake of the 1982 film Shaolin Temple, which starred Jet Li, but in a different historical setting.
