Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

chatch16 - The Ninja Sam Seed Another Gordon Liu classic, Clan of the White Lotus was directed by White Lotus Chief himself, Lo Lieh, and is old school Kung Fu fun at its finest! This one features such crazy concepts as the White Lotus Chief having the ability to suck his testicles into his stomach (as a means of defense) and some insane use of "acupuncture-fu" toward the end of the film. Liu trains in some uniquely interesting 'woman's style' Kung Fu as he battles Lieh 3 times, each fight growing in intensity. And his fights with Wang Lung-wei are absolutely fierce! These two square off in several flicks, with every encounter being great (check out "Instructors of Death" aka "Martial Club" for one of their absolute best). COTWL is hands down a MUCH better version/remake of "Executioners From Shaolin."

jadavix This is the one where Gordon Liu gets acupuncture, and later tries it as a form of attack against Lo Lieh (Five Fingers of Death) as the white eye- brow'd bad guy. Are there any guys with long white hair and white eyebrows in Shaw brothers movies who aren't evil?I thought this one was pretty overrated, unfortunately. It frequently tops lists of best kung fu movies ever made - I thought its sort-of-prequel, Executioners From Shaolin, was better. Aside from the aforementioned acupuncture, this one doesn't have much I haven't seen before. One plus, though, is more of an emphasis on the female martial artist, whose skills are very impressive.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) The White Lotus clan is out on a mission, to wipe out the monks. The leader is the most vicious character of the movie. Two fighters are released from prison for killing a member of that clan. But this guy, is five times worse than the last. His techniques are so perfect, he can't be touched. One fighter worked his hardest to get a perfect blow to stop him. The White Lotus used his five finger palm strike on two fighters, five walks can make their hearts explode. When he massacred the released prisoner and others, he was a walking death machine. The other fighter would confront him many times, and he would laugh off his skills. Yes, he was very headstrong, but he wasn't no quitter. His sister would teach him her techniques to better himself, along with his Tiger Crane style. The acupuncture techniques was very handy for him at the end. He could trigger everything on this fighter. Hiccups, laughter, sadness, etc. about made him the human porcupine. This movie got a ton of kung fu action. It's non-stop action makes it so much fun, it's a keeper all the way! 3 out of 5 stars.

bajbij ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Excellent kung fu, the choreography blew me away. They use no wires or CGI to create the absolutely breathtaking martial artistry here. Gordon Liu is a man who's brother is killed by the evil White Lotus, an old man with mystical kung fu powers. Caring for his brother's pregnant wife, Liu vows to avenge him and his village for Lotus' evil carnage. After a failed attempt to beat him one on one at the Lotus' palace, Liu receives training by none other than the wife herself, who teaches him a female type of kung fu, a style accompanied by grace, smoothness and patience. It is this form that Liu uses to eventually defeat the Lotus. I love how the wife is used in this movie, being very feminine yet not just a weakling. Hollywood should take note, you can make a woman look strong in a kung fu film and make it believable, not the way Hollywood does it by making the female untouchable against a male opponent. Here, not only do women get beat by men, but, EGADS! they get killed by them, too. I guess women are humans after all. Anyway, the wife here clearly is instrumental in defeating Lotus and is more a salute to women than any American kung fu film will attempt to do. Gordon Liu shows why he is underrated, though his films have not been and have received well deserved accolades. WHITE LOTUS is a better film than MASTER KILLER (Liu's other film, the more famous one.) It is more fast paced, not as talkative, and it is also reasonably lengthed. FIST OF WHITE LOTUS is one of the best kung fu films ever made, and it is a must for your collection. 9 out of 10.
