Lo Lieh was famous as Shaw Studio's first international kung-fu film star, but it was rare that he also directed, so this was one of those special events. Following the huge success of Executioners From Shaolin, Lo returned to the villain's role in this, a combination sequel and remake. The result is a lighter-hearted entertainment, as heroic Gordon Liu Chia-hui must learn "Embroidery Fist" and acupuncture to counter the evil White Lotus leader's deadly "Weightless Boxing" and "Nerve Centre Shutdown" techniques.
