YesAsia Editorial Description
Watch out for the Executioners From Shaolin!
Lau Ka Leung's powerful directing skills and choreographic expertise gave the perfect opportunity to Chan Koon Tai to display his martial arts magic. Chan plays Hong Xi Guan, a Shaolin fighter who thirsts for revenge after many of his fellow Shaolin and the temple he belongs to are destroyed by the vicious monk Bai Mei. Facing gigantic odds, is there any way for Hong to overcome his seemingly unbeatable adversary?

導演：劉家良
Director: Liu Chia-liang
清廷走狗白眉道人（羅烈），火燒少林寺後，繼續趕盡殺絕；洪熙官（陳觀泰）逃亡期間，遇上方詠春（李麗麗），並結為夫婦，匿居鄉間，誕下子文定（汪禹）。後熙官為白眉所殺，文定決為父報仇，找出父親遺下的虎形拳拳譜研習，再揉合詠春所授的鶴形拳，自創虎鶴雙形拳，終破白眉的金鐘罩鐵布衫功夫，得以為父報仇。
Critics praised this Liu Chia-liang (a.K.a. Lau Kar-leung) version of the Shaolin destruction and revenge epic, calling it the preeminent kung-fu director's greatest on the theme of history, martial arts, and family. Little wonder, since it also shows how Liu's own family style of kung-fu, Hung Fist, was created. There are unforgettable sequences throughout: highlighted by a honeymoon kung-fu contest and no less than three titanic confrontations with the traitorous White-Browed Hermit. The critics were right: Liu has out-done himself...as usual!

Tiger claw & crane styles rule
|
"Executioners from Shaolin" is an entertaining retelling of the familiar story: Refugees from Shaolin confronting their evil Qing overlords. Chen Kuan Tai, Lily Li, Wang Yu, and Lo Lieh all do terrific work in this film. There are some odd twists to the kung fu here. For example, there is an extended scene showing Chen Kuan Tai using his best tiger claw techniques to try (and fail) to pry open Lily Li's legs on their wedding night so he can consummate their marriage. And there is Lo Lieh, as the evil "White Brows", whose favorite move is to let people kick him in the groin; he then somehow grasps their foot with his crotch, drags them around, and destroys their knee with a well-placed chop. Yes, some of the action is downright goofy, but there also are some amazing skills on display here and just enough of a story to keep the viewer interested. All in all, "Executioners from Shaolin" provides an evening of solid entertainment for martial arts film buffs. The DVD also includes an interesting demonstration video showing a variety of kung fu techniques performed by big Shaw Bros. stars. |

history in the making
| It' rare the a kung fu flix has good fights, story, training sequences and acting not to mention directing and producing! This one has all of the above. Yes it's old, but it represent exactly what martial arts movie fans expect from old school kung fu flix. Some may prefer the eye candy of the late 70's and early 80's flix but E.F.S will stand the test of time. Chan Koon Tai is a authentic kung fu practioner, so it make the movie credible. Not to mention a young Lau Kar Leung choeregraphing what I believe will never see again in our days: real kung fu backed up by strong values. Water my friend, be like water B.L |

Good shaolin martial arts masterpiece
| Chan Koon Tai is performing excellently but Wang Yu as his son seems lack of charisma as a main cast. Gordon Liu should be a better replacement for the role. Lo Lieh acts as the devil "ba mei" master is a well-done role. Overall is good. |

One of the Best Kung Fu Films
|
I love Shaw Brothers films. This is considered one of the best Kung Fu films I have ever seen. The action and the story are excellent. Forget about Jackie Chan or Jet Li. Chan Koon Tai is simply the best actor in this era and forever more. Highly recommended! |

Shaw Brothers
|
For me "Shaw Brothers" is the best company in producing Kung Fu movies, so I was very sad about it, that they stop doing cinemamovies, instead of this, only on TV. Why they stop doing business with the cinema ? Were they unsuccessful ? What was the reason ? Can anybody help me ! To the "Executioners From Shaolin", You have to excuse me, if I say that: "I've seen such many supreme "SB" movies, that I was disappointed watching this movie twice in Englisch." |
