Executioners From Shaolin: The 1977 Martial Arts Classic That Inspired Kill Bill
A 1977 martial arts film – Executioners from Shaolin – stands out as one of the best of the decade, a notion that’s reinforced by the villain’s inclusion in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 2. Directed by Lau Kar-leung, Executions of Shaolin is an old-school kung fu movie from the library of Shaw Brothers, the most prominent Hong Kong studio associated with martial arts films.
