Movie Reviews of Executioners from Shaolin
Movie Review: If only he'd learned his wife's Crane style
Summary: 4 Stars
What can you say about a classic? I've owned this movie for a long time and bought it again when I saw it was remastered. The only flaw in this movie is that there aren't enough fights. The story is interesting and easy to follow with Chen Kuan Tai as the legendary Hung Hsi Kuan who escapes the burning Shaolin temple, marries Lily Li, an expert at Crane style and tries to perfect his own Tiger style to take revenge on the white-eyebrow priest, Pai Mei (Lo Lieh).
This is also (one of) the legend(s) of how Hung-Gar kung fu came to be. The style practiced by the illustrious Wong Fei Hung and the film's director, Lau Kar Leung.
The presentation is nice and clean and makes a big difference. It's not quite as crisp as some of Shaw's other restorations but I can't possibly imagine anyone complaining about it. This movie is also proof that refinement and beauty still existed in the popular culture of the 70's. Recommended.
