Executioners from Shaolin

Executioners from Shaolin or Hung Hsi Kuan is a 1977 Shaw Brothers kung fu film directed by Lau Karleung. It is released as Shaolin Executioners outside of Hong Kong and as Executioners of Death in North America.

The title scene is a battle between Pai Mei and a master of the Shaolin temple in an empty red backdrop this type of opening is a trademark of director Lau Karleung. Here we get the first display of Pai Meis mastery of internal kungfu techniques that allow him to retract his privates into his groin. After using his body protection techniques to ward off a clawing attack to the face, he traps a kick to the groin from Master Zhishan and delivers his own coup de grce.Master Zhishans vision blurs as the scene changes to a more realistic scene of the aftermath of the temples destruction. Pai Meis protg, area governor Kao Tsinchung Kong Do and his army, chase the fleeing exstudents of Shao Lin. Tung Chinchin, Gordon Liu after watching waves of other students fall to the pursuing armys arrows, makes a heroic last stand to divert their attention. He falls to a hail of arrows, crushing the throats of the soldiers he is closest to. It is left to Hung HsiKuan to lead the remaining students to safety. ........
