Chinese Kung Fu Star Search

The BBC reports that the Shaolin Temple is launching a TV show where viewers will vote for their favorite kung fu masters.

Judges and viewers will rank contestants by virtue, kung fu and artistry until they settle on a final 108 contestants, the same number as the rebellious heroes from the classic Chinese novel Outlaws of the Marsh.
Finalists would then get the chance to perform in a big-budget movie and TV series based on stories from the 1,500-year-old temple, which has inspired countless movies in Hong Kong and China.
