Recently I saw the kung fu movie, "Fist of the white lotus" for those who don't know , this is the original movie that featured the character Pai Mei from Kill Bill was based off of. Anyway what I didn't know was that he was actually based off of two seperate characters. The character who goes by the name of Pai Mei is defeated early on in the movie, the second character he's based off of is White Lotus who actually seems to be the primary character he's based on despite his namesake. White Lotus is an incredibly powerful kung fu master who can suck his balls into his body so that they can avoid getting hit, which is demonstrated in a very weird scene were Gordon Lius fingers get sucked into his crotch. White Lotus is also the one who uses the five point exploding heart attack.

Anyway this was a very goofy movie, Gordon Lius character whose the hero in this movie keeps on trying to defeat white lotus, but he keeps getting beaten. So he'll train to learn some crazy new technique and then comes back to fight him again only to get beaten even worst then before. This happens about three times before he finnally gets lucky and hits white Lotus secret weak spot. When watching this movie I get the feeling that it's one in a series of storys, I'll have to look into it later to see if any other movies were made. If any were made before this one, maybe they explain Pai Meis character who just seemed to have gotten thrown into the begining of the movie without much explanation.
