Ending today's Sunday Kung Fun Day on El Rey, one of my favs, so much so that I'm surprised I've not reviewed it here before. Lo Lieh as the White Lotus Abbot (essentially Bak Mei) who has the dopest flower-filled dragon-spout hot tub ever. Gordon Liu as the hero bent on revenge. Johnny Wang Lung Wei as the villainous second man-at-arms, like always. And one of my greatest Kung Fu Queen luvs, Kara Hui as Gordon's sister. She kicks ass. She always kicks ass.
What's not to love about this film? The casual offhand way Lo dispenses with Gordon's early revenge attempts saying 'You've improved!' and then thrashing him soundly. The constant groin attacks from Gordon, including my fav technique where you lie on your back, scooting forward with your feet with finger jab to the soft and tenders as Lo retreats. Kara teaching Gordon her woman Kung Fu, and Gordon constantly balking because he doesn't want to grope her or strike her breasts. Gordon fending off two swordsmen while he is unarmed (I've always thought that it would be impossible to evade someone armed with a sword when you're unarmed, much more two - I think it was the Chun Li bun-and-ponytails hairdo that defeated them). Lo bares ass, and in one scene, as he leaps from his hot tub to escape ambush, something dangles - I've never slow-mo-ed that, nor will I, but it implies Lo was well endowed - for realz.
Today's trilogy:
