Editorial Reviews

Region Code: All Format: NTSC Running Time: 95 min. Languages: English dubbed Subtitles: None Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 Description: A remake of/sequel to the classic "Executioners From Shaolin", this is kung fu cinema at its most absurd and most fun. Lo Lieh plays the dastardly White Eyebrow monk Pai Mei, who--besides being able to achieve weightlessness, so he simply floats away from his attacker's blows--can suck his testicles into his abdomen! Out hero, played by "baldhead" Gordon Liu, receives a sound thrashing from Pai Mei early on, but later masters the graceful embroidery technique from kung fu babe Hui Ying Hung. Needless to say, he finally gets his revenge when, after some spectacular fight scenes, he attacks Pai Mei's "vital spot". Ouch! Ninety minutes of pure bliss. Cast: Gordon Liu (Chia Hui), Lo Lieh, Kara Hui Ying-Hung, Johnny Wang (Lung Wei), Ging Chue, Yeung Jing Jing, Cheng Miu, Hsiao Ho. . .

3.0 out of 5 stars Tiger/Crane just not soft enough., November 24, 2007

This review is from: Fist of the White Lotus (DVD)
I think this movie, while quite good and very different, is a little overrated. A sequel/remake of "Executioners from Shaolin", Gordon Liu (always good) must train to take revenge after the destruction of the Shaolin temple. Trouble is that his foe, the white-eyebrow priest, Pai Mei (Lo Lieh, directing and reprising his famous role, and also always good) is practically invincible; having achieved a level of kung fu expertise beyond the mere physical. Gordon trains and trains but his style is ineffectual and must learn the "soft style" from the beautiful Kara Hui, whose husband was killed by Pai Mei. She makes him sew and take care of her newborn baby, an interesting contrast to the "crane style" of "Executioners".

This version from Red Sun is wonderfully restored by Celestial. The fight scenes are hit and miss, no pun intended. There are moments of excellence for sure, just...I can't quite put my finger on what bothered me about it, if anything. Maybe I just heard too many good things about it and it didn't live up to the hype. I'm not sure if I would recommend this to the "casual" fan or not. I have friends who loved "5 Deadly Venoms" and "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin" but didn't care for movies like "7 Grand Masters". If you like most Shaw Bros. films, you'll probably like this one too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Executioners From Shaolin Re-Make....., April 30, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fist of the White Lotus (DVD)
While still is a very good remake ( one of the best in a very long time ), Gordon Lui is in rear form...! I think in this remake, he's probably assuming the role of 'Ting-Ling'...(Hun Se Kwan's) son --- taking on an avenging role for his screen dad. What I think I like the most about this film is the opening scene which kinda shows in a different interpretation..., the destruction of Priest Bai Me and his brother by two mercenary shaolin patriots. Really stuuning stuff. It's brilliantly done overall ---- again it kinda borders on the comical side of things..., which I never really liked...., but it's a'ight!

5.0 out of 5 stars All around great movie, August 3, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fist of the White Lotus (DVD)
When you watch this film which I have done several times one has to recognize how far above this film is over the many martial films that have been made to date the concept behind the characters and the stars persistance, not your typical train to beat the villian movie. Lo Liehs direction and Lui Chia Liangs choragrapy make this the best if not one best martial art movies ever made this has been called a remake of the film Executioner from Shaolin which is also a good movie staring most of the same actors but in my opinion not as entertaining.
