Plot summary


Clan of the White Lotus serves as a loose sequel to 1977's Executioners from Shaolin, but the film shares just enough plot elements and characters with its predecessor to be considered somewhat of a remake as well. The film begins with a credit sequence that feels like the rousing climax to a previous film—but the footage shown is brand new. In any case, the opening coda features two Shaolin warriors fighting against the vicious "White Eyebrow Priest" Pai Mei in some burnt out ruins. By combining their respective tiger and crane styles, the two heroes defeat the famous villain in an acrobatic display of martial arts prowess.

The movie then flashes forward a few years to a time when the Emperor lifts the ban on the Shaolin temple, allowing all Shaolin brothers to be released from prison. Hu Ah-Piao, one of the two heroes who beat Pai Mei, is scheduled for release, much to the delight of his pregnant wife Mei-Hsiao (Kara Hui Ying-Hung), his best friend in arms (who for some reason isn't in jail) Hung Wei-Ting (Gordon Liu Chia-Hui), and his lovely sister Ching-Ching (Yeung Jing-Jing). Of course, those loyal to Pai Mei are angered by the emperor's show of mercy, but none are more outraged than the evil White Lotus (Lo Lieh), chieftain of the White Lotus Clan and the identical twin CLASSMATE of Pai Mei. Thirsting for bloody retribution, White Lotus leads an all-out attack on our heroes, which leaves both Ah-Piao and Ching-Ching dead.

Barely making it out with their lives, Mei-Hsiao and Wei-Ting escape to another village where they gain employment at a paper dummy shop.Seeking to avenge the death of both his sworn brother and his fiancée (he and Ching-Ching were hoping to get married), Wei-Ting tries to combine Tiger and Crane boxing into one style, practicing every evening after work. Not used to practicing alone, Wei-Ting tries to recruit Ah Piao's pale-faced brother Ah-Chang to help him train, a move that results in some fine comedic moments. The obvious contrast between the skilled Wei-Ting and his weak, uncoordinated, and comically unwilling helper makes for some hilarious sight gags.
