A huge influence on Quentin Tarantino and a long-term fan favourite, 'Clan of the White Lotus' is a quintessential slice of kung-fu mayhem. Director/star Lo Leih plays the evil ex-monk Pai Mei, a man with white hair, near-supernatural fighting skills and a bitter hatred of Shaolin scholars.

Facing him down is the callow Hung Wen-ting (Gordon Liu). But will his kung fu ever be good enough to take out the mad killer? It's a follow-up to the earlier 'Executioners from Shaolin' but don't worry if you haven't seen that: 'Clan of the White Lotus' remixes the elements and turns up the volume to create something that stands tall on its own merits.
