The story of this movie is almost identical to that of Executioner from Shaolin, and it might be even appropriate to title this movie Executioners from Shaolin II. The similarities are as follows:
1. An evil master who has white hair and beard (both played by Lo Lieh in the same make up) attacks Shaolin Temple, and one of the monks swears to avenge the dead comrades.
2. The master has weak spot that moves around his body.
3. He can give a vice grip on an opponent with his groin area.
4. A woman teaches kung-fu style which eventually helps to defeat the enemy.
5. Hero challenges the enemy twice.
6. Eventually the evil master is defeated by accidentally getting struck in his weak spot.
So there you have it, the main plot of these two movies are identical. Both are fantastic old school kung-fu movies with actual story and not just one mindless fight scenes after another. I kind of like the original because I'm a Chen Kuan Tai fan, but either movie in my opinion is a great martial arts piece from that era.
