Tiger Killer is Li Han-hsiang’s triumphant retelling of the tragic tale of Lotus Pan (Wong Ping), a seductress doomed to a short life of sorrow and condemnation for her illicit affairs. The title refers to (Ti Lung), the heroic younger brother to a homely dwarf (Ku Feng), whom Pan is forced to marry as punishment for having been caught sleeping with her dirty old master. The story is told from Song’s perspective, much as Shaw Brothers’ 1964 musical The Amorous Lotus Pan is. The earlier version is scripted by future kung fu movie master Chang Cheh.
