Fist of the White Lotus (1980) Pai Mei
Fists of the White Lotus also known as Clan of the White Lotus
Fists Of The White Lotus (1980) – ENGLISH
In Fist of the White Lotus, one of the most ruthless, most invincible bad guys in the kung fu pantheon is re-cast to kill a number of Shaolin monks, their friends and family, and deliver some of the greatest kung fu smack talk ever while he does it.
The villain is Pai Mei, “White Eyebrows,” one of the legendary Five Elders who escaped the burning of the Shaolin Temple by Qing Dynasty forces. If we weave a few of the many legends surrounding this figure together, then Pai Mei is the man who helped form the White Lotus Clan, lead a rebel army against the Qing, betray the rebels and the Shaolin monks to the Qing, kill a number of would-be assassins and avengers, help train several different teams of deadly assassins over the centuries, pluck eyeballs out, and eventually succumb to a poisoned portion of fish head soup.
All the stories agree: Pai Mei’s kung fu is incredible. He can make himself as light as a feather, a single strike can kill, and the standard weak points on a human—throat, eyes, balls—are not only iron on Pai Mei: they are weapons. He uses his powerful inner thighs to break arms, his throat to break swords, and his eyes to break hands. His qi is strong enough to deflect almost any attack.
P.S. (Pai Mei has no balls, he is an eunuch.)
He likes to stroke his wispy goatee and insult his weak opponents during a fight. Only a perfectly administered combination of styles can defeat him. Pai Mei is the video game end boss you die against for a full summer until finally figuring it out (with the help of a cheat code) just before school starts, when no one is around to confirm the kill.

Of all the Fighters here on StrengthFighter.com, Pai Mei is certainly one of the most fearsome and one of the very best. Can he ever be defeated without poisoned fish heads or acupuncture needles?
